Juventus coach Alberto Zaccheroni has warned his players they face a tough test against Fulham in the first-leg of their Europa League clash against Roy Hodgson’s side on Thursday.
“I deeply respect Fulham,” Zaccheroni told calciomercato.it. “They are very compact and everyone plays according to their role in the team. They defend very well.”
The Bianconeri boss went on to reveal his respect for his English counterpart, who had two previous stints with Inter.
Hodgson’s teams are always very balanced, solid and tidy. Against him we must never let our guard down. We must concentrate for 180 minutes."
Finally, the Juve coach revealed that while he wasn’t overenthusiastic about his club’s busy schedule, he was hoping three games in a week will see his side find a winning continuity.
“The Cup is not a luxury for us, but the important thing is not to find ourselves fielding the same players for three consecutive games. With three quarters of our players available, we feel we can be competitive on two fronts."
