Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado expects “a more difficult game” against Verona on Wednesday.
The Bianconeri have won seven Serie A fixtures in a row, closing the gap at the top of the table to three points, and take on the winless Butei this midweek.
“It’s a more difficult game, because it comes after the winter break,” Cuadrado explained to Mediaset.
“But we know we have to get three important points. We always try to win, in the Coppa Italia and Champions League too.
Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado expects “a more difficult game” against Verona on Wednesday.
The Bianconeri have won seven Serie A fixtures in a row, closing the gap at the top of the table to three points, and take on the winless Butei this midweek.
“It’s a more difficult game, because it comes after the winter break,” Cuadrado explained to Mediaset.
“But we know we have to get three important points. We always try to win, in the Coppa Italia and Champions League too.
“We’re Juventus, and we have to fight for the top spots even though it’s not easy because there are other teams fighting for the Scudetto.
“[Over the break] we’ve worked hard because we don’t have much time and we have to do everything we can to prepare for the next five months.
“We’re a great group, a great family, and we’re all pulling in the same direction.”
After a difficult start, Cuadrado’s late winner in the derby with Torino is seen by many as a turning point for the Old Lady, and the Colombian shares that assessment.
“For me personally it was very important, as it came after a long drought. And a goal like that gives you a boost and faith.
“For Juve it was a turning point, we knew we had to win that game and we believed until the end.
“Since then we’ve achieved a lot, and hopefully we can go on playing every game like a final.
“My goal against Fiorentina? It was a bit lucky, but it was important because we equalised straight away and then we played a great match and got a deserved victory.”
Finally, the on-loan Chelsea man gave his thoughts on the Champions League Last 16 tie with Bayern Munich.
“Any team can be beaten, but it will be difficult,” Cuadrado admitted.
“We’ll have to go into it with great intelligence, as if it were the World Cup final. We still have time to prepare for the game, and get to 100 per cent or even 200 per cent.”
