Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli spoke to DAZN (as quoted by IlBianconero) following the match against Roma, discussing the team’s mentality, his role as a leader, and the influence of new coach Igor Tudor.
On Wearing the Armband and His Goal
“The captain’s armband is an incredible honour—it’s a daily commitment because I have to set an example. I scored a nice goal today, though the one I scored against Buffon changed my life (laughs). Maybe I should score simpler ones… today we could have done more.”
Team Mentality Under Tudor
“The coach immediately asked us to believe in ourselves because we’re strong. Maybe we were a bit tired, but playing with this attitude will bring us satisfaction. We’re working on it—having this approach is crucial.”
