Juve is the most complete team. Milan can alternate champion strikers game by game and Inter is a work in constant growth with a desire to win that is unparalleled and puts it on the same plane as Juve and Milan.

I am satisfied with the work we have done so far, even if we're only halfway there,

This is a big injection of confidence. I wanted a solid night of work, that was the plan. I'm glad we're moving in the right direction.

It would be a mistake to consider this match simply a formality,

That was a Ghana in disguise, because it was missing several players. They're going to want to surprise us.

After the win in the Netherlands we said we would have liked it if the World Cup began right away. Three months later we have the same energy. Games like these help convince us that we're strong and not inferior to anyone.
