´Very strong Juve is being born´ – Cuadrado optimistic on Juventus progress

Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado believes “a very strong Juve is being born” ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

The Colombia international was speaking after a 2-0 friendly win over Mexican side Guadalajara in Las Vegas; Marco Da Graca and Mattia Compagnon on target at the Allegiant Stadium.

Juventus struggled at the beginning of last season, but they soon picked up under head coach Massimiliano Allegri and finished fourth in Serie A to ensure Champions League qualification.

While they have lost key defender Matthijs de Ligt to Bayern Munich, the Bianconceri have brought in the likes of Angel Di Maria and the returning Paul Pogba on free transfers, as well as Bremer from Torino.

Cuadrado was positive about both the Guadalajara win and the future of Juventus, telling the club’s official channels: “[It was] a beautiful evening, even if it was a friendly match.

“For us, it is always important to seek victory, and we have. Chivas are a good team, but we now want to also do well in the next matches.

“A very strong Juve is being born, with many quality players, great new arrivals.”

And it is clear that head coach Allegri is putting the players to work ahead of the forthcoming Serie A campaign.

When asked what the boss was asking of them in pre-season, Cuadrado replied: “Run, run, run.”
