Tudor: We want to win | OneFootball

Ahead of the third and final FIFA Club World Cup group stage clash against Manchester City, Juventus coach Igor Tudor met the media at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando to preview Thursday's match-up against the Citizens.

THE MATCH

“We worked on all aspects to reach this match in the best possible way: we evaluated who to play, given that we played two demanding matches and it is important to understand who can play for the whole match and who can come in to give their best. It will be a great match to play, for those who played more it was three days of recovery, the others pushed a bit more. There is a great desire to do well, there is a good energy; already by qualifying for the next round, we have achieved the first mini-objective and this makes us feel good. We want to win, you cannot play for a draw. Tomorrow we take to the field to win, you do not prepare matches to draw.

MANCHESTER CITY

“The heat will affect both teams, the time and the temperature are not the best for playing football, Pep Guardiola is right when he says that you cannot push to the maximum. We arrive differently to Manchester City: they made many changes between one and the other match, we fielded the same eleven. Tomorrow we will definitely change something, but we want to play a serious game and win, fielding players who can help us achieve this goal. Our next opponents? We must only think about tomorrow's game, which will be a beautiful game to play. The lads are motivated and eager, everyone wants to play. Those who will not play from the start are disappointed, because everyone wants to play these games. Manchester City is a team that has dominated for years, led by the best coach in the world. It will be a game in which we give everything, we will play our football, they will play theirs and we will see what the final result will be.

TEAM UPDATES

"Kenan Yildiz is playing very well. He has the right mindset, he likes playing football, everything else comes as a consequence. His skills are there for all to see, but I think the key is his desire to always do his best and give everything. He pushes from the first to the last minute both in the game and in training, he never holds back. It is a beautiful and rare thing. Those who score stand out, it is normal, but many are doing very well. Khephren Thuram has played top-level games for me, Francisco Conceicao, Randal Kolo Muani and Alberto Costa, they all played two excellent games. Nicolo Savona is doing well in the position I put him in. He needs to put on some weight and strength to deal with some situations, we are working on it, but beyond that there are so many positive things. He applies himself, he is professional, he has great football intelligence, he knows how to understand what is happening on the pitch, he has great speed. He has so many skills, he is a humble guy who listens. These are things that may seem obvious, but they are not at all. He has those values ​​that are getting a bit lost and they are precious. Filip Kostic? For me he is a nice surprise. I had not coached him yet, he is a player who can do well in the football that I like. He is always available, professional, he has good legs and good technique. He applies himself and already knows the group well. I like him.

CHOICES

“Arek Milik trains with us, but it is early to let him play. Conceicao had a calf problem, I think he might start from the bench tomorrow and depending on how he feels, we will understand whether to play him or not. Manuel Locatelli, Teun Koopmeiners and Federico Gatti? Some of them will start.”
