Juventus midfielder Simone Padoin warns the Coppa Italia final with Milan “will be far from simple”.
The Bianconeri can complete the double for the second season in a row on May 21, but the 32-year-old isn’t getting ahead of himself.
“The cup final against Milan will be far from simple, one-off games never are,” Padoin told JTV.
“They aren’t in the best condition at the moment but in a game like this, the form book goes out of the window.
Juventus midfielder Simone Padoin warns the Coppa Italia final with Milan “will be far from simple”.
The Bianconeri can complete the double for the second season in a row on May 21, but the 32-year-old isn’t getting ahead of himself.
“The cup final against Milan will be far from simple, one-off games never are,” Padoin told JTV.
“They aren’t in the best condition at the moment but in a game like this, the form book goes out of the window.
“We know full well that we will have to be at 100 per cent to bring the trophy home again.”
The Old Lady retained the Scudetto for the fifth-season in a row, and Padoin is proud of their comeback after a poor start.
“It’s been a tough campaign. We started poorly but we put our pride on the shelf and got back to doing what we do best.
“Winning the league with an initial 10, 12-point deficit has made this title that little bit sweeter. The turning point? Undoubtedly the last-minute victory over Torino.
“After the defeat to Sassuolo in October we looked ourselves in the mirror and realised that we had to fight for the right to be considered Scudetto contenders. From that moment, everything changed.
When I decided to join the club in January 2012, I knew that I would have the chance to win trophies but winning five league titles in a row is something else altogether.
“Knowing the club as well as I do now, all I can say is that this success is richly deserved. Everyone at this club wants to win.”
