Monza coach Ivan Juric confirmed his confidence in Nicolás Varela, asking DAZN journalists if the Argentine midfielder could become Serie A's top scorer by the end of the year. In an interview held before the tenth championship match against Bologna, Juric underlined that Varela is not just a prolific striker: "He doesn't just score goals, he works a lot and everything is possible," said the head coach, leaving open the prospect of a scoring title for the player.
Juric began his chat by recalling Monza's recent performances, highlighting Napoli's quality and the need to keep the level of play high. "As usual, the other day Napoli's best quality came out and today we hope to last longer. We continue to perform well," he explained. The coach then spoke about the relationship with captain Palladino, stating that the two have known each other for a long time and have grown together, which has strengthened the team's group.
As for Varela, Juric expressed optimism but without exaggerating. “I'm not ruling anything out, he doesn't just score goals but he works a lot and anything is possible,” said the coach, underlining the importance of his contribution in both attack and defence. Monza, in fact, saw Varela emerge as one of the key players of the team, with an increasing number of goals and assists that led him to be considered one of the best transfer options for the season.
Monza currently find themselves at the top of the table, hoping to consolidate their position and continue to compete for the European qualifying places. The team demonstrated good cohesion and strong team spirit, elements that Juric cited as key to achieving long-term goals. The coach also reiterated the importance of giving the best to young people, highlighting that the current squad is well balanced between experience and emerging talent.
Looking to the future, Monza will have to face the next challenges with the same determination. Juric hinted that the work will not stop: "We are confident and want to give our best." With Varela continuing to show consistent energy and a direct impact on the outcome of matches, Monza looks ready to make the most of its assets for the rest of the season.
