Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo says president Andrea Agnelli has addressed the players about the Super League.

The competition appears off after the English teams withdrew on Tuesday.

“We are focused,the present for us is the qualification for the Champions League. The President spoke to the team about this project today. We know he is the first row for this thing [the Super League], but I am not the most suitable person to talk about it. There is the President in the first row who is organising it," Pirlo said at a press conference.

“This morning, Agnelli explained to us what the project is about, but he didn't go into details. He told us that the most important thing is to focus on the present.

"Agnelli has always been very close to the team, I speak to him after every game, the club's offices are just around the corner here, he's always been close to us.

“The players must remain calm, it's just a project, and football goes ahead."
