Rome, 2 May (LaPresse) – "How is Yildiz? It’s something we’re assessing thoroughly, particularly given how valuable he is to us. We know, and he knows, just how important he is to us. He’s had a bit of inflammation, though he’s done very well in the last two training sessions and hasn’t felt any pain. We have no doubts about whether he’ll be playing in the match.” So said Luciano Spalletti, Juventus manager, on the eve of the match against Verona. ‘I like having a relationship with my players and I like being able to get the best out of them for the good of the club, the team, our fans and everyone who loves this sport. He is one of those players because he always has a smile on his face; even in terms of his reactions, even when he’s been going through a difficult spell, he’s always maintained the desire to convey his positivity to you,’ he added.
