Vicario: The key today is understanding where the gaps are and passing into the right areas

Before the Serie A Round 3 home match against Milan, Juventus goalkeeper Vicario gave an interview to DAZN.

Let me start directly with the starting lineup. Seven players in the starting eleven had not worn the Juventus shirt last season, which to some extent is an unavoidable consequence of having many injured players. However, this is definitely not something insignificant or ordinary. Can I ask you about the team's chemistry? What kind of atmosphere and feeling have the team and your teammates given you over the past few hours?

Without a doubt, it has been a very positive feeling. This is a united group, a strong team, with a very good blend between young players and experienced players. Without a doubt, we have a group of very talented young players. In short, everyone is young, and we are very united. So now, everything will ultimately be decided by our performances on the pitch. I firmly believe we are a team with quality, and tonight we will obviously face an opponent with the same high level of quality as us. It will certainly be a great match, and we cannot wait.

Speaking about the pitch, Spalletti mentioned that Milan will show strong aggression from the beginning, and because of your ability with the ball at your feet, you will also play a crucial role in this match, especially in finding depth on the pitch. With your assistance this week, how have you prepared for this style of play? Spalletti said you are the first passing point and the breakthrough point from the back to overcome the opponent's pressing...

However, every match requires thorough preparation for the goalkeeper's different passing options. The opponent's defensive approach and positioning are different each time, and we need to observe and analyze them. The key today is understanding where the defensive gaps are and where the most reasonable and correct passing areas are, so that we can deliver the ball to the most suitable positions. Therefore, this is not only about my individual reading of the game, but also about the whole team's coordinated understanding, working to find opportunities to create threats and damage for the opponent.

Finally, let me end with Buffon's words. He said, "My only advice to Guglielmo is to enjoy this experience." The atmosphere tonight is excellent. Can I ask what your personal condition and feelings are like during the pre-match preparation period?

To be honest, I have been eager to get onto the pitch. These are the exciting emotions and incredible atmosphere that you deeply desire and cannot wait to personally experience and feel. So now, I am already here and ready to do the warm-up exercises. I cannot wait.
