Before Juventus' away game against Villarreal, Juventus defender Kabal attended the pre-match press conference.

What do you feel after scoring a goal against Atlanta?

"I am very happy that I can score a goal and help the team get a point, but that goal has become a thing of the past and I am only focusing on tomorrow's game now. If I score another one, I will be very happy."

What are your expectations?

"I am very calm and often communicate with coaches. It doesn't matter whether I start or not. It's important to help the team and show my value as a player and as a person. The previous injury was very helpful for my growth, and I learned a lot. Now I just want to help the team and strive for victory forever."

Which position do you like to play the most?

"The position ahead (laughs). I just want to play, whether it is the linebacker of the three-back or the wingback of the five-back system, I am willing. As long as I can play, it's good."

What do you think of Villarreal?

"We know that Villarreal is a very strong team, and tomorrow's game will be a wonderful showdown. They have to pay attention to us as much as we pay attention to them. Their league starts well, but each game is different and it is difficult."

Are you tired?

"We won't think about fatigue because we don't have that feeling. When you come here and hear the music of the Champions League, all fatigue will disappear, your mentality will change immediately, and you just want to do your best. Then we will consider Milan and the next game."

What is your mental state?

"I have a strong mindset. The most difficult thing for me is physical problems. When the coach first arrived, the team went to the United States, and I also wanted to go with them to understand the head coach's ideas, but I can't go, and that time was difficult for me. But that's over, I'm here now, and I'm ready."

About the difference between Champions League and Serie A

"When I was a kid, I got goosebumps when I heard the music of the Champions League... Of course, both Serie A and the Champions League have to put in 100% of my efforts, but the Champions League is indeed a different stage."

About Villarreal's good start for the season

"Congratulations on them, but we only focus on ourselves. We are very calm and only focus on tomorrow's game."
