Patrice Evra is one of the leaders of the dressing-room at Juventus. His speech last season after the defeat at Sassuolo was the catalyst for a run which saw the bianconeri sweep the rest of the opposition away. Today, the Frenchman was speaking to Sky Sport about Saturday’s challenge against the neroverdi, he began by stating that; “I hope I never have to deliver a speech like that again but I’m confident I won’t have to as we have some real champions in there who know what it means to wear the Juventus jersey”.
 

Evra continued by talking about what many believe will be the club’s priority this season, the Champions League. He explained that; “The signals at the beginning of the season are strong; we’ve reinforced the team and now the Champions League must be our goal. I don’t want to sell dreams however because that would be wrong so let’s see how the adventure begins next week against Sevilla. I believe we have the strength to win the trophy”.
