The Juventus coach enjoys the victory at Sassuolo which confirms the fourth place, but also the Canadian’s return to scoring: “
Luciano Saplletti is never satisfied. The confirmation comes after the 3-0 success against Sassuolo at the “Mapei Stadium” which raises Juve to fourth place after the mocking 1-1 against Lecce and, above all, confirms the progress in terms of the Bianconeri’s game. The Juventus coach, in fact, does not spare some criticism of his team. “The last two have been great performances, but we still have to grasp things and gain some knowledge – he points out to Dazn -. You can see that we go through moments in which we are not able to be above sufficient in terms of attitude: we are not strong in tackles and we have taken 3-4 corner kicks without throwing the ball into the area… But the last two remain two great performances”.
shoulders and the hug to David

What makes the Juventus coach smile, however, is above all Jonathan David’s return to scoring after last Saturday’s penalty error. The Canadian received a hug from all his teammates and also from the coach, who rushed onto the pitch on purpose. “I joined the last one – adds Spalletti – because I arrive after them, but I want to be part of the group. He is a very sensitive boy, he has no cover and doesn’t hide anything, he doesn’t yet have the structure to have to handle everything that rains down on him. Feeling in a family that loves him has certainly helped him. The behavior of the players in training was fundamental, everyone showed closeness to him. I would have been surprised if the team hadn’t started acting as a shield. Real offenses came after that penalty, there is someone trying to create confusion, someone has another team or another coach at heart. This was pandemonium unleashed on purpose to create chaos. Then, he indulges in a joke: “What if we celebrate by eating pasta with clams and parmesan? That always, we liked his intuition, creates new dishes…”.
