Andrea Pirlo has attempted to rate himself out of 10, following what has been a tough season at the helm of affairs for Juventus.
Andrea Pirlo gives himself ‘six out of 10’ for his debut Juventus season and admits his style of football has not been ‘fully implemented’ yet.
The Bianconeri beat Genoa 3-1, but yet again they seemed a very different team after the break and risked throwing away the 2-0 lead.
In the end, Juventus managed to hold on to their lead but on another occasion, they could have been punished by a more efficient side.
Andrea Pirlo and Juventus are 11 points behind leaders Inter, and the season could yet end on a disappointing note.
In recent weeks, the Italian manager has seen himself subject to rumors of a sacking but has gone on to rate his first season in charge of the Bianconeri as a ‘positive’ one.
“All coaches must feel like they have to prove themselves every single day, let alone me, as I am in my first coaching experience. Football has been my dream since I was a child and I will keep working hard to improve,” Pirlo said as per Sky Sport Italia.
“I’d give myself a six out of 10 for this season so far. I know that I must do more, and when you don’t achieve certain results, the coach is the first to take responsibility.
“My idea of football is to dominate the game and press the opposition. For a series of reasons, we’ve been unable to fully implement it, but the team is eager and we’ll keep working on it.”
Fabio Paratici said before the game against Genoa that Paulo Dybala’s contract extension is still very much up in the air. Pirlo also dropped a comment regarding that.
“These things are down to the club. I am able to train a squad of champions, Dybala is one of them. He has barely been available this season, but he’s back now and we’ll try to make the most of it. Other decisions are down to the club.”
