Spalletti Urges Juventus to Learn from Inter’s Success, Yildiz Set for Pre-Season Test

FolioPitch.com – 07 August 2026 | The highly anticipated pre-season friendly between Juventus and Inter Milan is just around the corner, and Luciano Spalletti has emphasized the need for his team to learn from the Nerazzurri’s success. In a recent press conference, Spalletti stated that Inter are still the strongest team in Serie A, and that Juventus must learn to get to their level. This sentiment is echoed by the keyword ‘Spalletti Juventus must learn to get to Inter’s level let’s see about Yildiz’, which has been a recurring theme in recent discussions.

Spalletti’s comments come as Juventus prepare to face Inter in a pre-season Derby d’Italia, played in Perth at 12.00 BST (21.00 local time) on Saturday. The match promises to be an exciting clash between two of Italy’s top teams, with both sides looking to prove their mettle ahead of the new season.

One player who will be under close observation is Kenan Yildiz, who has been making waves with his impressive performances in training. Spalletti has confirmed that Yildiz will play more than he did in the game against Chelsea, and will likely feature for at least half the match against Inter. This is a positive sign for Yildiz, who has been working hard to establish himself as a key player for Juventus.

Spalletti was also asked about Juventus’s transfer activity in the summer window, and whether the team is lacking a player who can guarantee 20 goals a season. In response, he emphasized that the team has signed players who collectively will be able to exceed those numbers. He also highlighted the importance of the Europa League, which will engage the team even more than the Champions League.

Lastly, Spalletti was asked if there are still any hard feelings towards Alessandro Bastoni following his dive and infamous celebration of Pierre Kalulu’s wrongful sending off the last time these two teams met. Spalletti’s response was characteristically calm, stating that the team will continue to do what they did after that game and focus on playing a good match against the strongest side in the league.

With the pre-season friendly just around the corner, Juventus fans will be eagerly watching to see how the team performs against Inter. Will they be able to learn from their opponents’ success and make a strong statement ahead of the new season? Only time will tell.
