Canzi: | OneFootball

Juventus Women are looking to pick up important league points in their away match in Naples against a direct rival in the race for qualification for next season's UEFA Women's Champions League: the Bianconere will face the Neapolitan team on Saturday 2 May at 12:30.

Massimiliano Canzi spoke to the press on the eve of the match.

THE TEAM'S CONDITION AND BECCARI'S ABSENCE

"Physically, the team is doing well: unfortunately, we have to do without Chiara Beccari, a very important player for us, and we know we won't have her until the end of the season. I send her a big hug and best wishes. The girls have worked hard in training, and we know the importance of the matches that await us in these final weeks of the season, which are crucial to achieving our goals. Beccari, as a player, is unique—in fact, she was one of the players I fielded most often throughout the season. She will be difficult to replace, so we must find different solutions to compensate for her absence."

THE AWAY MATCH IN NAPLES

"With three games left in the season, Napoli are two points behind us, which means they're a top-tier club. It's an open challenge. They've improved a lot in recent months, and they've done a great job as a club and with their coaching staff. This group of players has a dangerous attack, and it'll be our job to limit their impact. We have to play our game, knowing we're facing a top-tier team, but without letting that affect us."

THE RACE TO QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

"Just looking at the standings is enough to understand the importance and weight of tomorrow's match, without experiencing it with added pressure: we knew Napoli would be an opponent we'd have to play against until the end of the season, and we have great respect for them. We know it will be a tough match, against a team that will do everything it can to overtake us in the standings and achieve a goal that would be extraordinary for them and is just as important and crucial as it is for us. Napoli aren't the only ones chasing qualification for the UEFA Women's Champions League behind us: for this reason too, we need to see a great Juventus on the pitch tomorrow."
