Juventus set to face Inter challenge

Brazilian midfielder Hernanes has surrendered hope of a free-scoring role but said he is committed to the cause as Juventus look to stretch their Serie ‘A’ lead against his former club Inter Milan on Sunday.

Hernanes hit five goals in 26 appearances for Inter in his final full season before moving to Turin.

Yet with only 13 games remaining this season, the 30-year-old from Recife has been forced to reassess his personal expectations as part of a squad for whom winning.

“I came to Juventus full of bounce, with the idea that I would be playing up front. But the coach changed my position and I’ve had to adapt,” he said.
