Claudio Marchisio discussed his versatility after Juventus earned a 2-0 victory at Malmo and looks forward to Atletico Madrid.
“I made mistakes on my chances and aimed too close to the goalkeeper. We are happy with the performance, especially in the second half, as we brought home the three points,” he told Sport Mediaset.
“Let’s just say we now have experience of bad pitches in Europe after Istanbul last year! We knew the pitch would be difficult, but we adapted and in the second half played our usual fluid football.”
A point against Atletico Madrid in Turin will be enough to qualify them, but a win by two clear goals would even make Juventus the group leaders.
In fact, Juve could even lose to Atleti and qualify if Olympiacos fail to beat Malmo.
“Now we will think of Atletico. We mustn’t look at the permutations and instead go only for the victory. We took the game to Atletico in Madrid and were unlucky not to score there.
“The team has been playing very well for the last month. I don’t have a specific position that I prefer. I’ve played many roles with criticism and praise. Over the years I must say I just try to give my contribution in any role.
“Since I’ve been playing a little deeper and closer to the defence I get more touches and that’s certainly enjoyable, even if I am further away from the goal.”
