The countdown is on to the Tuesday evening’s Champions League clash between Lyon & Juventus and French midfielder Corentin Tolisso has been talking to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The 22-year-old, who is also a transfer target of Napoli began by explaining that; “Juve have already played in two finals and made some great signings in the summer. We will give them the utmost respect but we must believe in our abilities and try to exploit their weaknesses”. Asked on who he considered to be the main danger he replied; “Higuain has continued his great scoring form since his move from Napoli and he remains the biggest threat”.  

Tolisso then explained that the game plan need not be as complicated as everyone thinks declaring that; “We need to raise our level and fight for everything and take our chances when we get the opportunity. We want to progress to the last 16 at least and we know this won’t be easy but we have confidence in our ability.
 

When asked about the club’s successful past and how difficult it’s been to try to replicate it Tolisso explained that; “We are young and hungry and we have grown up together, we are like a family”.
