We are full of energy, in good condition and full of confidence. The Champions League, which will be about to start tomorrow, is the most exciting event. We will have a good atmosphere at home. It will be particularly special to hear that theme song. Our morale is very high at this moment."

Locatelli: "We regretted being eliminated last year. The team is healthy now, we get along well and have a good training condition. We will be 100% dedicated, and it will be very good and crucial to get a good start with the support of home fans."

Punishment against Venice...

Locatelli: "That was a special moment for me, and I still feel joy in looking back. But the credit belongs to the whole team, we show good team cohesion, which is the most valuable thing. We are full of fighting spirit, because this is the most exciting event in the world."

What role can you play in the Champions League?

Locatelli: "Some teams are indeed stronger than us, but our secret is to maintain unity, pragmatic style, enterprising spirit and diligence. The goal is to go as far as possible. There was a surprise in the Champions League last year. All we have to do is be prepared. There must be no lack of passion and team awareness."

Do you think the team is stronger than last year?

Locatelli: "I only played three rounds of the league. But I can say that we have demonstrated team spirit. We got along well with the coach, and we worked with him last year to achieve good results. It is very important to continue working with him and his team. It is crucial to deepen our understanding during the Club World Cup, and it is also valuable from a humanistic perspective. Perhaps we are indeed more team-oriented than last year."

Champions League requires the strongest attack power to win the championship...

Did Tudor reduce your fear of these games?

Do you think this Juventus is more about you?

Locatelli: "I am proud of it now, and it has surpassed all my dreams. This is how the captain should be, becoming a role model in training and daily life."
