Wojciech Szczesny is excited by the upcoming friendlies with Barcelona and Real Madrid, noting Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria are just what Juventus needed.
The Bianconeri beat Chivas 2-0 in their opening pre-season tour of the United States fixture and will take on Barcelona tonight at 01.30 UK time.
“It might be a friendly, but it’s always special to play against the best in the world like Barcelona and Real Madrid,” Szczesny told JTV.
After noting it was great to finally have a proper pre-season tour after two years of the pandemic, the goalkeeper welcomed the new signings to the squad.
Pogba and Di Maria are both free agents, a return to Turin in the case of the France international, bringing their vast experience to the team.
“It’s quite a young squad overall, so our younger players can only learn from them. They also have incredible quality and will give an important contribution on the pitch.”
Thing is we do need a better goalie, oblak contract expires next summer
