Coach Massimiliano Canzi and debutante goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx spoke to the press after the Juventus Women’s First Team’s 2-0 away win over Sampdoria on Matchday 5 of the Serie A season.
The win maintains the Bianconere's 100% start to the season and leaves them still top of the table.
“Today the result was more important than the performance, and we knew that it was going to be tough. Sampdoria never changed their attitude, no matter the score, and it was a game that remained in the balance until we got our second. After that, we started to find space and chances that we couldn’t make the most of. We lost a few too many loose balls and were at risk of conceding.
“Today, [Martina] Rosucci played again, [Elsa] Pelgander had the chance to come on and [Azzurra] Gallo was able to make her debut as a youth-team player, which is a huge source of pride for the whole club because of the work we put in that deserves attention and respect.”
“It was great. It’s great to train with these girls every day but it was even more special to play with them. So it was very special to make my Serie A debut and for it to end with three points and a clean sheet - I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.
“It was a good game, it was difficult to find space at times but we knew and expected that. Defensively we were solid and the girls were great.
“It’s always been a dream of mine since I was a child to be in the Champions League, so to have qualified and to be there is incredible. I never would’ve thought as a kid in Montreal that I’d do it. I’m not the first from Montreal to be in the Champions League and hopefully not the last, but I’m really excited and looking forward to it.”
