"We have a different coach, we have different players, the new system. I like the way he (Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri) wants the team play. If you can see the games, I think the team is more confident, we create more chances, we have more of the ball, the players have more confidence. This doesn't mean that last year, with (former Juventus coach Massimiliano) Allegri, we didn't do a good job as well, we did a fantastic job but this is different, thinking football in a different way that the Allegri for example, and to be honest I'm happy. I'm happy because we play more forward, we play with more confidence."
