The Juventus coach analyzes the searing defeat of Cagliari, caused by Mazzitelli’s goal: “It’s useless to cry over what has been done, everyone is with their heads in their hands. We have to play the game with malice and take advantage of a few more episodes”
“It had to be like this.” Luciano Spalletti is fatalistic after the 1-0 defeat against Cagliari, which puts an end to the Bianconeri’s streak of positive results and risks causing them to find themselves again after the Roma match. “Cagliari deserved it because they fought for every ball, closed well and tried to restart – begins the Juve coach Sky -. We didn’t manage to be more evil, but there are matches that have to go like this. The less rotten blood you get, the freer you get to the next match.” Spalletti, however, does not spare criticism of his team. Especially of Conceiçao and Zhegrova for their attitude when entering the pitch. “Even if they have the characteristics to enter into the density, they let themselves be carried away a bit by the frenzy and lose clarity – it stings -. Conceiçao came to play the midfielder, Zhegrova the same, moving away from the hot area of the area, so Kalulu had to go to the wing and Kelly the same on the other side. From this point of view, here we can tell him something to be more in the roles and positions.”

The Juventus coach didn’t even like the free kick from which the Sardinian goal originated. “It’s not that you have to do it by force, because then the ball is here and if you take a free kick voluntarily you find it inside the penalty area – he says with reference to Kelly on Borrelli -. So let’s keep it here, it’s still a duel, you have it in front of you, the man instead holds onto this shirt and then they took the lead and were, as always, a little bit lucky…”. Spalletti, however, tries to send a positive message to the team. “There’s no point in crying over what has been done, everyone is with their heads in their hands. We have to play the game with malice and take advantage of a few more episodes – he explains -. We have an obligation towards the role and the profession we do: we have to be picky towards ourselves to take all the advantages because everyone can give a result. Let’s see if in the next match we will put in a little more ingenuity and skill, a little bit more”. But the closure is still bitter. “Yildiz was unlucky in 2-3 episodes. During our match I saw 4-5 episodes in which things went badly. And it becomes difficult to carry out analyses”, concludes Spalletti.
