Statement by Sergey Semak (Zenit Coach)
"We play as the opponent allows us to play. Juventus is a club with great quality and they are doing well in the Champions League, and yes, we need to take points. We need a win, but let's see how the game develops. It depends a lot on how well Juventus play."
"No one can say whether domestic results make things difficult or easy. On the one hand, a bad run of games can be very motivating for a team, but, on the other hand, a bad run can make things difficult mentally for a team. We can assume anything and only the game will show us what effect it has had. In the Champions League, Juventus are doing very well, so there is nothing to worry about."
"I don't think Azmoun has any problem, it's about the level of the opponents. Chelsea's defenders are among the best in the world, and the same can be said of Juventus' defense. Sardar has played well in our last two games and is very motivated. We expect him to play at his best tomorrow."
"Defeat will mean a hypothetical elimination. The situation is difficult enough, given the balance of power in the group. The match is decisive for us."
Statement by Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus Coach)
"It's not about the system, it's about improving some phases of defensive play in certain moments of the match. The solution is to work and be calm. We have to have responsibility and build step by step. I have an intelligent team that understands without the need for me to raise my voice in difficult moments."
"We must keep confidence in our strikers, they have to work and not think so much. We will be without Moise Kean, Mattia De Sciglio and Aaron Ramsey, while Federico Chiesa and Matthijs de Ligt are fine."
"Zenit is a technical team with players who know how to convert. Despite that the match will go through us."
