Bavagnoli calls for 'perfect' performance against Juve

The Giallorosse face the reigning Serie A champions at Stadio Tre Fontane on Sunday afternoon, looking to close the current five-point gap on the leaders and get back on track after last weekend’s disappointing 2-1 loss to Florentia.

“We need to be very focused and understand how we need to go out there and how we need to play, in comparison with how we approached things last weekend,” Bavagnoli said.

“A game like this against Juventus is a game against a very good opponent – so there’s no need for any extra motivation.”

She added: “Juventus are a strong side in terms of the players the have, and in terms of the way they are organised. They have a great coach who knows the game well.

“We need to play our game, a perfect game.”

The game, a 12:30 kick-off, will be shown live on Sky Sport in Italy – but Bavagnoli is confident plenty of fans will attend the match in person.

“We have incredible fans and I am sure they will come on Sunday as well, for such an important game,” Bavagnoli added.

“I imagine there will be a lot of fans there and they can definitely be like an extra player for us.”
