Juventus achieved a 2‑1 victory against Celta Vigo in a match played at the Balaídos stadium, thanks to a goal from Randal Kolo Muani. Coach Luciano Spalletti commented on the match from the bench, highlighting both the difficulties encountered and the opportunities created by his team.
Spalletti underlined that, although the decisions taken during the match were late, the performance cannot be judged as negative. He praised the scoring opportunities generated, also citing Woltemade's back-heel attempt as an example of action that tests players and encourages them to exploit their qualities. The coach also asked to carefully manage the substance and "venomousness" of the game, so that the team can better control pressure situations.
A central point of Spalletti's speech was that relating to the player Conceicao, who declared that he had not argued with anyone and that he wanted to stay on the pitch. The coach reiterated that it is essential to give value to the 70 minutes of play and not just the last 20 minutes in which the player is no longer present. He also noted that when other strong teammates were on the pitch, the team managed to turn the game around.
Regarding the next match against Lazio, Spalletti expressed optimism that the victory against Celta Vigo is an important step. He said that winning matches matter for the players, but also stressed that the team remains prepared to continue working seriously, regardless of the result. The coach asked to listen to external criticism and make precise choices within the team, leaving some decisions for the future.
In summary, Juventus has shown that it can compete at a high level, but Spalletti has expressed the need to improve the management of decisions on the pitch. With the victory against Celta Vigo behind them, the team prepares to face Lazio with the awareness that every match is an opportunity to grow and consolidate their position in the league table.
