Nedved comments on 'worst possible draw' as Juventus face Atletico in UCL last 16

Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved spoke to the media in Nyon on the sidelines of the Champions League last 16 draw.

"We are going to Madrid months in advance. It is the demonstration that it is important to get to the second round, no matter if from first or second place. It i the most difficult draw and we also need a little luck. But we have a very strong team and we want to qualify," he said.

"Atletico are a very difficult team to deal with. They are balanced. They play defensively and know how to hurt you with Griezmann. I foresee a difficult double challenge.

"Ronaldo? He is the man of the Champions League, for goals and victories, but we are not counting on him only. Marotta? Juve was there before him and will be there after him, as well as before and after Nedved. I believe there are two types of directors: those who would work anywhere and are professionals, and those who would never do it," Nedved concluded.
