The elimination in the European competition means that Juventus has a bigger opportunity domestically, but Delneri disagrees with this notion. "You cannot definitely say that not participating in the European competition means having an advantage in the domestic league. Past experience shows that big clubs can often handle multiple competitions simultaneously; just look at Inter Milan and Barcelona. Therefore, we should not simply measure the possibility of winning titles by the number of competitions." This weekend, Juventus will face Chievo in the league, Delneri's former team where he gained his reputation. Facing his old club, Delneri expressed many emotions. "Juventus is currently in a good position in the league. The upcoming matches (before and after the winter break) are crucial. I hope the players can maintain constant fighting spirit and confidence. We can give our all against any opponent. Only by playing well in every game can we end the season with smiles!" Since Juventus was eliminated in the last round, this match was a matter of pride for them. Although they could not advance, Juventus still hoped to end their European campaign this season with a victory. Unfortunately, the result was once again unsatisfactory. After the game, Delneri still gave the team maximum affirmation. "It is quite regrettable that today we were once again tied by the opponent while leading. There were some changes in the lineup today, and I am very happy to see the players on the field giving it their all, which is very precious." As a traditional powerhouse, Juventus' performance in the Europa League can only be described as poor. In the last group stage match, Juventus was once again held to a draw by the opponent while leading. With 6 draws and 6 points, the former powerhouse had to be eliminated as the third place in the group. After the game, facing the camera, Delneri said that he was not regretful about Juventus' elimination, mainly because there were too many injuries this season and luck wasn't on their side. Delneri continued, "Today, many young players took the field, and some have just recovered from injuries. I think that from the current situation, both the young players and the injured ones have passed through the toughest times of this season. I feel we deserve more than just a draw. Although the result is somewhat regrettable, I am still optimistic because this team really has a bright future."
