    Champions League, Sampaoli: ‘Football is a collective game, Juve a sum of its parts’

    Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli talked to media ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League opening clash against Juventus.

    Juventus spent € 90 million to buy Higuain, Sevilla spent € 60 in the whole window...
    “Football is a collective game, if we were just individuals, it would have been much easier for Juve. If we play as a team, like we know, everything can happen.”

    Are you going to change your tactical plans?
    “I can’t do that, I can’t refuse having an attacking mentality, because that’s how we play every day. That’s what I am trying to transmit to my players.”

    Are you going to play Sirigu?
    “No, Sergio Rico is going to start on goal.”

    ​Juventus are favourite...
    “We should play with passion and for the shirt. It’ll be an extreme game, because Juventus are a strong side. We’ll give everything, playing an even game would mean being at their same level. What I want is to see a team ready to fight against such a strong team.”
