Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo insisted on Saturday that his crew didn’t worry UEFA sanctions over the failed Super League mission, designed to supplant the Champions League. “We are usually not afraid of this, we’re calm and centered on our work,” Pirlo told a press conference ahead of the team’s Serie A game against Fiorentina on Sunday. “We are convinced that we can finish the season with our goals, we are serene about what UEFA will decide.” Juventus president Andrea Agnelli was among the many leaders of the 12-team Super League which collapsed in 48 hours amid stress from followers and politicians. “Agnelli? I noticed him calm,” continued the Juve coach.
“It is normal that there has been a lot of talk about him in this period and he will talk about it again.
“He knows what he has to do, he brings great enthusiasm every day when he comes to the pitch.
“But our goal was and remains to qualify for the Champions League, that’s all we have in mind.”
Pirlo continued: “In the locker room there’s a optimistic ambiance of a crew who needs to complete properly, they’ve of their heads an necessary goal, it’s a kind of obligation to qualify for the Champions League.”
Juventus travel to Fiorentina as they fight for Champions League football with their nine-year Serie A reign looking set to end.
The champions are fourth in the table 11 points behind leaders Inter Milan with six games to play.
Pirlo said there was “a great spirit of revenge” towards the Tuscany aspect after dropping to Thirteenth-placed Fiorentina earlier this season.
