Fabio Capello, interviewed by the Gazzetta dello Sport, commented on Juventus' recent victory over Celta di Vigo with 2-1, highlighting the rebirth of Italian teams in the Europa League. According to the former coach, Juventus faced a more solid opponent, but managed to maintain their aggression until the moment Marcos Alonso canceled out the lead with a penalty goal. Capello underlined that, despite the difficulty, Luciano Spalletti's team showed the usual creativity problems, with an excess of lateral movement and a lack of direct initiatives in the area.
The English coach expressed surprise at Juventus' lack of aggression in the area, wondering why they didn't look for more scoring opportunities with more direct balls. He cited the match's two goals, both from crosses, as an example of how the team could have made better use of its strengths. The first goal was scored thanks to the collaboration of an opposing defender, while the second was scored by Kolo Muani, who replicated his previous performance against Cagliari with a powerful header from a few steps away.
Capello also expressed his desire to see greater synergy between Juventus' two forwards, Woltemade and Kolo Muani. He noted that, in other matches, such as against Cagliari and Vigo, the team was successful when both players were on the pitch at the same time, playing more directly and immediately targeting the strikers in the penalty area. According to the former coach, this strategy could also have been adopted in the match against Celta.
Finally, Capello suggested that Luciano Spalletti could reconsider his tactics for the next match, trying to make the most of his attackers' potential and increase creativity in the area. Juventus, with its recent victory, demonstrates that it is ready to compete at European level, but the team will have to continue to improve its offensive effectiveness to achieve its season objectives.
