“We must give a sense of consistency to our recent performances, which have been improving, more than just looking at the result,” Nedved told Juventus TV.
“I don’t think we changed the way we approach the game, it’s more that the lads have improved their fitness levels and they feel more confident, especially as positive results bring self-belief and a sense of calm.”
The Old Lady have already qualified for the Champions League Round of 16, but can still take first place in the group if they win tonight and Chelsea fail to beat Zenit.
There is the first start for 19-year-old defender Koni De Winter in a 3-5-2 formation this evening.
“He is a very self-possessed lad, he seems relaxed and I am curious to see his performance, because I believe he can become really very strong.
“It’s going to be exciting for him, I think the experience will be good for the player.”
