Last night, Juventus put their recent problems behind them and emerged victorious in the Derby della Mole.
For his part, Danilo was a true protagonist in the win. The Brazilian was a stone behind as he played in the heart of the defence. He also provided the winner’s assist for Dusan Vlahovic.
The ex-Madrid player has established himself as one of the locker room’s benchmarks in recent seasons, and after the game he spoke to the press to clarify things that have recently been reported.
Following the defeat in Haifa, the team returned to Turin for a training retreat with some claiming that the players had rebelled against the decision.
However, Danilo assures that the players remained united behind their manager Max Allegri, categorically denying these rumours.
“Today we were good, but we know it was just a small step compared to what we want to be in the future,” the 31-year-old said in his post-match interview with Sky Sport via Calciomercato.
“The hug at the end of the game shows that what was said was totally wrong. The coach made a decision, he is our leader and he made a decision for the good of the team.
“We are all working hard and we want to do what is best for Juventus. There was none of that [the reported mutiny].
“The coach made this decision, we agreed and we worked hard in the last two days, especially mentally, to stay in the game. All that has been said that we did not want to hold a training camp is false”, concluded the seasoned defender.
