Juventus, Koopmeiners: “Happy with my new role, at AZ it was different…” | OneFootball

At the end of the match between Juventus and Sporting Lisbon, which ended with a score of 1-1, the Juventus midfielder, Teuun Koopmeiners, spoke to Sky, where he discussed the new position he has taken on with Luciano Spalletti.

Juventus, Koopmeiners: “Happy with the new role, at AZ…”

These are the words of the Dutch midfielder: “In the first 15 minutes, we didn't find the perfect way in defense to press. After that, we were aggressive in defense and had chances to score a goal. In the second half, we attacked. I'm sorry we didn't find another goal because we should have won this match, also for the standings. There are many things we can take as positives for the next match, but there are also things we need to do more of.”

“In this position, I feel very good because I'm not a forward who can play with his back to the goal, which is what I did in other matches. I also told this to the club, and Mister Spalletti knows me because I talked to him about when I played in the Netherlands, and this is a role where I feel much better. I'm a player who wants the ball. I want to pass the ball to my teammates, I want to push with the ball, and I can do this as a midfielder in the middle, as a defensive midfielder, or as a left defender, I feel much better.”
