Juventus closed the match against Napoli with a 2-0 result at the Allianz Stadium, immediately taking the team back into the lead after the defeat in Genoa. Coach Luciano Spalletti commented on the result to DAZN, underlining the importance of the victory and the need to maintain concentration in view of the next challenges.
Spalletti began his speech by recalling teamwork: "My staff is with me at all times. I'm the last to leave, but the entire staff is present almost all day. They care about the team's fate and deserve the recognition." He then highlighted how the players were willing to take the first step and gain ground, especially in the second half. “Tonight they deserved the victory and gained self-esteem,” he added, citing Carlo Carnevali's role in creating attention on the pitch.
According to Spalletti, Napoli had started the match well, but Juventus proved to be more efficient in their choices and pace of play. “All the credit goes to the players,” he declared, reiterating that the team has shown that it is ready to win. The coach then spoke of the structural difficulties, explaining that he had to remove McKennie because Sarr had a fever and that all the substitutions had been forced. “Now we have to stay focused,” he said, highlighting the importance of playing as a team and having a stadium that fights alongside the team.
Spalletti also expressed gratitude towards the fans, thanking those who applauded and supported the team during the match. He underlined the need to remain united and transform the stadium into a real fort, even if performances so far have not met expectations. “Right now we have to hold our hands and have the cheek to try to make money even if they don't exist on paper,” he said, appealing to the group's resilience.
Finally, the coach praised the players for their performance, calling the victory "deserved" and giving the players a big round of applause. With the victory against Napoli, Juventus is preparing to meet again on Thursday in a new match, with the aim of consolidating their position in the standings and demonstrating that they can compete with the strongest teams in the championship.
