Chiesa: “We Returned This Month; I Am Very Happy for the Club”

Juventus’ Federico Chiesa was thrilled to seal all three points at the Allianz Stadium in a stunning 3-0 victory over Lazio:

Tonight I am very happy, but above all I am very happy because we won 3-0 after months of which, even looking at it from home, Juve was not Juve, we returned this month, we came out of it, I am very happy for the club, for the coach. and for my teammates, we won with a great 3-0 and we deserved it,” the Italian international stated at the beginning of his post-match interview, via Tutto Juve.

A brace from Moise Kean and an atonement goal from Arkadiusz Milik followed by a sumptuous low-driven cross delivered by the 25 year-old winger paved the way for the Bianconeri to end the year on a very high note after a rough start to the season.

As it stands, Allegri’s side enter the winter break for the World Cup in third with a total of 31 points, trailing Milan by only a slight two-point difference. The Old Lady have attained their sixth consecutive victory, and have maintained their compactness within the back-line as they have collected their sixth clean sheet in a row.

While speaking to the media, Chiesa touched upon how he felt after being subbed on in the 64th minute, as well as Juventus’ title hopes as a result of their impeccable run of form, stringing six wins out of their last six outings:

How do you feel?

“I’m at a good point, of course … I can say, we stopped another time. I stopped 10 months ago, I came back today, I was also fine, I entered even more relaxed than the first times I entered on the pitch, but we have confirmed ourselves. Now I think about the national team, then I will take advantage of this World break to return to what I was before, indeed, to come back even stronger. Obviously I had to skip July and August, so I missed the preparation, for me it will be an important point to get back in shape and find the race pace “.

Do you think the Scudetto can be attacked in 2023?

“I think now we have to think match by match as we did the last month. In the last month, apart from the Champions League, we went back there. playing very well, he is showing and deserves the victories. But in the last month we have made a big step forward and above all tonight we have also shown that we have great organization and great determination. And we have also shown a good football tonight, because we have played three goals, we came out well from all situations. Lazio were also in a period of form and tonight I think is the icing on the cake of this month. Then from January we see what we can do. But we have to think about what good it was done in the last month, not in the first two “.
