Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti announced the next match against Celta Vigo, the second outing of the season in the Europa League, during an interview with Sky Sport. In his speech he underlined the importance of winning the victory from the start, avoiding waiting for it, and described the need to be "poisonous" in the decisive moments of the match.
Spalletti explained that, in his opinion, every match presents opportunities in which the result can be decided and that the team must make the most of these opportunities. He also compared the match against Celta with that against NEC, defining the latter as a difficult opponent due to its experience, pitch coverage and order in both phases of the game. The coach stated that Juventus will have to pay particular attention to identifying the moments that can make the difference.
The coach then spoke about the turnover, mentioning players such as Gatti, Koopmeiners, Cambiaso and Woltemade. He expressed his belief that the team is doing a thorough job, but that it is necessary to make some changes not so much for the next match against Cagliari, but in view of the next match. He also highlighted the importance of preparing for the 4am return, highlighting how fatigue can impact performance.
Spalletti asked if he is working on the "badness" with Woltemade and replied that he always tries to insert missing elements into matches, based on analysis and reasoning. He added that field experience is essential to be ready for any situation.
With the match against Celta Vigo scheduled, Juventus aim to consolidate their position in the Europa League, aiming for a dominant performance and making the most of winning opportunities. The team's next step will be to put Spalletti's advice into practice, trying to be lethal in key moments and to better manage the fatigue of the calendar.
