Leonardo Jardim: 'Juventus more than just Carlos Tevez'

Leonardo Jardim says that Monaco won't go to extra lengths to combat Juventus striker Carlos Tevez when the Italians have other sources of danger.

AS Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim has told his troops that they cannot afford to focus solely on combating Juventus hitman Carlos Tevez in Turin on Tuesday.

The French giants face Massimiliano Allegri's side in a first-leg Champions League quarter-final tie, with Jardim warning his charges of Tevez's "quality".

However, with the likes of Alvaro Morata and Arturo Vidal also in their ranks, the Monaco boss says that it would be a mistake to focus too much on the Argentine.

"Tevez is Serie A's top goalscorer and has plenty of experience and quality. We'll need to keep an eye on him but it's not just about Tevez," he told reporters.

"Juventus are a strong group and also have Serie A's best defence. We will play in an organised fashion, sticking to collective goals both in attack and defence.

"All my players are obliged to work hard in winning the ball back. In that sense you could say we play like an Italian side."

The Bianconeri travel to the principality for the second leg next Wednesday.
