Tiago: "We Must Thank The Public"

Two days after the match against Chelsea, Tiago, speaking with Juventus Channel, analyse bianconeri’s period:

"The disappointment is still there but I think we will soon get over it because we must think of the championship and Bologna. I think the first victory will be the best medicine and we will get back to being Juventus".

"We were very good in the group phase but we were unlucky to be drawn against Chelsea. In these two matches something went missing, maybe a bit of luck but we could see that Chelsea has something more then us at the moment".

"There isn’t much of a difference between Italian and English football.. They have coaches, foreigners too, which helped them grow tactically. Besides Champions League matches are something different. Here there is a lot of pressure whilst in England they play for pure fun".

I think Inter’s elimination is an advantage for us. Even they will be a bit under the weather. Mourinho himself really wanted to go ahead in the Champions League and reach the final and therefore even they will have to recover from the elimination".

"My mode of thinking has changed most of all. The first year was a real disaster both personally and on a football level. This year I made myself available for the group and the coach, trying to do my best".

"It will be hard against Bologna, we have the match at home and we must thank the public because even though we lost they applauded us throughout the match. Tuesday they were exceptional and therefore on Saturday night we will have to pay them back with a victory".
