Only three points separate Juve from Napoli at the top of the Serie A table and ex-Empoli Coach Maurizio Sarri will be hoping his old club do him a favour.
“We are receiving thousands of phone calls from Naples ahead of the Juve match,” laughed President Corsi on Radio Marte.
“The friendship with Sarri does count for a lot. We’ll go there to play our game and I hope to see the Empoli of a few months back.
“We have lost our way a little in terms of identity and style of football, while the team also felt the effects of Lorenzo Tonelli and Riccardo Saponara not being fully fit.
“We hope to rediscover the right energy and motivation. We’re four points away from securing safety and we can’t wait to get there.”
