Inter defender Jonathan has praised new coach Walter Mazzarri for revitalising his career with the San Siro club.
The right-sided defender has struggled to secure regular first team football since arriving at the club from Santos in 2011 but has started both league games this season under Mazzarri.
“The merit of my recent performances have been because of Mazzarri,” he told Sport Mediaset.
“The coach has given me confidence and that is really important.
“Now we have to play Juventus, which will be tough. They are a strong team. Conte has worked well for years and manages to get the best out of his players.
“Playing at San Siro will give us an extra boost though.
“I’m sure we will give them a great challenge and maybe even beat them,” he concluded.
The Brazilian has made 32 appearances for the Nerazzurri since his arrival while also being loaned to Parma in the 2011/12 season.
