After the defeat against Genoa, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti spoke to SportMediaset, recognizing the need to apologize to the fans and to review the current level of competition. According to Spalletti, the team showed a certain tiredness, especially in the second half of the match against Lecce, and had to manage both the mental and physical parts of the game. The coach underlined that the team must learn to do something different to improve.
Spalletti highlighted that, in addition to the tactical aspects, an adequate attitude is missing. “It's something that goes beyond tactical matters,” he declared, adding that Juventus must understand how to behave differently to obtain better results. The coach also asked to analyze the situation correctly, to understand what to do in the future.
The coach's focus then shifted to Napoli, with whom Juventus is equal on points. Spalletti asked for clarification as to why the team had the same amount of points but faced a different situation. “We have the same points and we will play for it,” he said, urging the team to be informed and ready to play.
In summary, Spalletti expressed concern for the physical and mental fitness of the team, called for a change in attitude and indicated the need to analyze the current situation carefully. The next step will be to implement new strategies to face the challenges of Serie A and regain the trust of the fans.
