Juventus and Napoli will play at the MAPEI Stadium-Citta del Tricolore on Wednesday in the Italian Super Cup.
Andrea Pirlo admitted Juventus suffered ‘a bad defeat, we could not have played worse than this and it was unexpected’ against Inter. The Bianconeri barely tested Samir Handanovic and were fortunate there weren’t more goals after the Arturo Vidal header and Nicolò Barella running onto a long Alessandro Bastoni pass. Lautaro Martinez had several opportunities to extend the lead, but was wasteful in front of goal, whereas Federico Chiesa only forced a save on the other side in the final minutes. “We got the attitude wrong from the start and when you don’t have the determination to win the duels, it becomes difficult,” Pirlo told the media. “We just didn’t step onto the pitch, we were clumsy, afraid of Inter’s attacking play, so in our minds we only focused on defending and weren’t even very aggressive with that either. We allowed Inter to take the initiative and they become devastating in those circumstances.
Juve now has 33 points, seven adrift of Inter, ten less than Milan but with a game in hand to be played against Napoli. Pirlo was asked if this defeat changes Juventus' ambitions and reduces their role in the Scudetto race. “Our ambitions remain the same. It’s a slip-up against a strong opponent, these things happen, but what I am disappointed by is the attitude. A side like Juventus must come here with a certain confidence and ambition, the desire to take the initiative and steer the game in a certain direction, but we were too slow in our passing and above all did it with our defenders rather than the midfielders. We were too predictable.”
Pirlo will be unable to call upon the services of Argentine attacker Paulo Dybala, who is nursing an injury. It remains to be seen whether Colombian Juan Cuadrado, Brazilian Alex Sandro, and Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt have recovered from COVID-19 in time for this game.
Juventus (4-4-2): Wojciech Szczesny, Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci, Merih Demiral, Gianluca Frabotta, Federico Chiesa, Rodrigo Bentancur, Adrien Rabiot, Aaron Ramsey, Alvaro Morata, Cristiano Ronaldo
Gennaro Gattuso said Napoli deserves credit for ‘making it look easy’ after the Azzurri’s 6-0 win over Fiorentina and explained why he took the team out for lunch two days before the game. Napoli beat Fiorentina 6-0 at the Stadio Maradona on Sunday. “It looked like an easy game, but it was not easy. [David] Ospina made a great save when we were one goal up,” Gattuso told the media. “The turning point was [Lorenzo] Insigne’s assist, they lost it completely after that. We converted every opportunity we created. We conceded some goal chances, but it was a great performance. We’ll need another one like this on Wednesday.”
With 16 goals conceded, Napoli has the best defensive record in Serie A so far. “We’ve scored 50 goals in 23 games, a lot. Of course, sometimes we may lack balance, some choices must be done. “I am happy I have players like Demme, Fabian Ruiz, [Piotr] Zielinksi, [Tiemoue] Bakayoko, players who have quality, but the balance provided by Diego [Demme] can’t be given by other players right now. The others have quality, they can give me other solutions,” Gattuso insisted.
The coach took the team out for lunch two days ago. “It’s something I decided because I felt it inside, I saw the guys were tired mentally and it was right to have a plate of pasta and a glass of wine together and reassure them. It was said I was angry with the team and the team was angry with me. You’ve played football and you know sometimes there could be tension. It’s a big honor for me to coach these players, I know the relationship I have with these lads, regardless of the stories someone tells.”
Napoli will be without Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who has tested positive for COVID-19. Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is out, while there are doubts over the availability of full-back Kevin Malcuit.
Napoli (4-3-3): Alex Meret, Elseid Hysaj, Amir Rrahmani, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mario Rui, Diego Demme, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Piotr Zielinski, Hirving Lozano, Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne

Juventus played a bad game against Inter but they have the best individual quality and big roster and they must be favorites to win the least important trophy in Italian football.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
