Spalletti: Juventus did not perform as well as it should; Vlahovic played injured

Hupu November 09: Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti accepted an interview with DAZN after the derby against Turin. The game ended with 0-0.

Juventus focused too much on their established tactics in the first half, but then they began to try different plans.

"When the opponent's half-court defense is so dense, you have to improve the quality of the game, and the speed of normal passing can determine the outcome of the game. We definitely need to improve in this area. We are not playing as well as we should be and we need to work on this aspect.

Some of us are a little tired, but I Very happy with the team's performance because they worked hard throughout the game and although it was difficult for them to get counterattacked a few times, we did what we had to do."

With substitutions, Juventus returned to the lead: When you brought on Žegrova, did you consider keeping Vlahovic?

"Jonathan Davie performed very well in the penalty area. Vlahovic had a little problem with his back, but he still played bravely.

When I took him off, he was starting to tire. Davie is a player born for this kind of playing time, but we just couldn't find the feeling."

Did something happen to Colucci?

"I've known Colucci for a long time and his coach knows him too. I just told him that there was a player on the bench who pretended to pass the ball to us twice. I told him to avoid that because the tape will show it."
