Speaking to reporters in Vinovo, Bonucci said: “We’ll take to the field tomorrow night with the desire to get back to being the team that beat everyone and always imposed its own style of play.” After drawing their first three European encounters of the campaign, Bonucci knows that a win is paramount if Juventus are to keep their Champions League hopes alive. “It’s a game that needs to be won, just like all the others we face. Coming into the clash on the back of three draws means it’s the only objective we’re aiming for."
“Failure to win would place us in the Europa League or even see us go out of Europe altogether, so we’ll take to the field with the goal of making it through to the last-sixteen. “Not qualifying could also have an impact on the rest of our season, but let’s not forget that a year and a half ago we had just started out on our journey and since then we've won the league, Italian Super Cup and made it through to the Coppa Italia final.”
The 25-year-old, who earned rave reviews for his strong Euro 2012 performances with Italy, attempted to shed some light on the reasons behind Saturday night’s home reverse to the Nerazzurri. “After putting in a true Juventus performance during the first twenty minutes, we then retreated in defence and midfield and no longer ran like we did at the start. “We were also punished by certain incidents. When they scored their second we lost the ball in midfield when we were open. These are exactly the type of situations we need to work on.”
