It depends on which side you look at the perspective … a victory and a draw against Inter and Borussia Dortmund, eight goals scored and seven conceded, and three decisive goals in favor arrived after the ninetieth. Too? “Too many behind but not too many in front, but if you continue like this, you no longer end – Igor Tudor begins to Sky after the fireworks on the Champions League debut – in the second half we went to great difficulty from the energy point of view, but we have proven to have a big heart, and a large bench”. For the Juve coach, however, things could have gone differently if Letexier and the Var had seen Antov’s hand foul on a header from Kelly in the first half. “This referee damaged us, there was a penalty for us -stings at the press conference -. This must be said, because with the penalty for us and without that for them it could end 4-2. It was not in a great evening”.

Tudor after Juve-Borusia Dortmund

Yes, between the derby of Italy and the first of the Champions League three goals came from the successful ones: if the hero had been the Baby Adzic against Inter, this time was Dusan Vlahovic, author of a brace and the assist for Kelly’s 4-4. “It was right to let Vlahovic play on Saturday and then leave with Opennda and David today, because 2 important players arrived – explains the Croatian technician -. People who enter from outside, however, make the difference and these are beautiful signs. By now with the five changes and all these games there are no owners. The games are truly decided in the last 20 ‘and the demonstration are our four games played so far. After only 3 days: Yildiz was white, it would have been to be removed from the interval, Thuram was also tired.

Fragility’

The other side of the medal, however, is too fragile defense, especially on the conclusions from outside the area. “We suffered 2-3 too easy goals that could be avoided, but in the end they were also the result of the individual quality -says Tudor again -. I am happy because at this moment, we have given everything”. For the technician and his Juve, however, there is no time to stop: “I am happy, but now we have to recover well and go to Verona already on Saturday”, he concludes.
