Juventus striker Carlos Tevez spoke of the importance of the Bianconeri’s 1-0 win over Genoa on Sunday afternoon, as well as reiterating his faith in struggling teammate Fernando Llorente.
The Bianconeri temporarily moved 17 points clear of Roma at the top of the table thanks to a memorable solo goal from the Argentinian, who stormed past three players before finishing into the top of the net.
“The important thing is that the we won a tough game,” Tevez told Mediaset after the match.
“I’m glad about my goal, but I’m very happy for my team.
“After playing such a hard game on Wednesday it was never going to be easy, especially from a mental standpoint.
Tevez then spoke of his support of teammate Llorente, stating that the entire team must do their best in order to help the misfiring Spaniard.
“We have to help him, it’s not easy when there is no confidence. We must do the simple things to help him as we are teammates.
Despite his emphasis on the recent run of hard games, the attacker showed no signs on wanting to ease up in any competition.
“Everyone thinks we are already in the semi-finals of the Champions League, but that’s not true because Monaco is a very strong opponent.
“I would have actually preferred to play Barcelona or Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.”
