PRESS ROOM | Comments after Juventus Women-Milan

Coach Massimiliano Canzi, Cristiana Girelli and Martina Lenzini after Juventus Women’s First Team’s 3-0 win over Milan on Matchday nine of the Women’s Serie A 2024/2025.

MASSIMILIANO CANZI

“Are we in the best form of our season? I hope not, we still have room for improvement... certainly we are in the best form since the beginning of this year, we are doing well, and then winning helps to keep our momentum. It's good to see that we don't have problems with our approach: today we scored immediately, and that doesn't always happen, but on the contrary, if you approach the match badly, then you have to chase the game. Today we did well both in possession and out of possession, I must say it was a very good performance; I won’t deny that it's nice to be in front, but it's very difficult at the moment to make predictions for the season: we certainly have a very good squad, suitable to face such an intense season, and all the girls know they are important. Now we turn our attention to Arsenal, from tomorrow morning we will start preparing for that match. We show respect to everyone and obviously also to them as they are a strong team, but we know what we are capable of and that our mentality will also be fundamental.”

CRISTIANA GIRELLI

“I am happy not only for the goal, but also for the assist for Arianna Caruso: Del Piero's birthday brought me luck... joking aside, we are happy to top of the league, but the coach asks us to focus on one match at a time, there is still a long way to go in the championship season, we will think about the league all the time: we are pleased that we are doing well, because we are working hard and we are very good together as a group. Our way of playing requires a lot of intensity, but it's also true that we have fun together; when you wear the Juve shirt the objective must be to win, and when you perform well, often the result comes with it. The Champions League? We knew that winning today would give us a boost of confidence, from tomorrow our focus turns to Arsenal, and we will have to play as well as we know we are capable of doing.”

MARTINA LENZINI

“We are happy with the way we are working together in defence: we have been able to work hard and remain compact, and we do that in every game, and that is an important aspect, especially in defence. Playing with three for me is an excellent solution, it allows me to defend well but also to push on in possession.”
