Federico Bernardeschi not panicking over slow Juventus start

Juventus midfielder Federico Bernardeschi insists he's happy in Turin.

Since moving in the summer from Fiorentina, Bernardeschi has battled to find his best form for Juve.

But he says: "Some like to see everything as complicated, I just see it as a normal period that can happen in football.

“I started this season late because I was out for 45 days, and that's quite a lot, especially when everyone else is training and you can't, then when you do return, you're far behind the others. I only know one way to go about it and that's to work, sacrifice and get into shape as soon as possible.

“I am at the disposal of the coach, I play where he asks me to, I spoke to Andrea Pirlo and he has faith in me. Obviously, when the staff changes, there are some new situations you must adapt to, so it takes time.

“There were some issues of incompatibility with Maurizio Sarri and Juventus. He probably wasn't able to express himself to us and we weren't able to understand him."
