The Juventus coach takes responsibility for the five consecutive defeats and looks to the match against Milan
AI-generated summary
Udinese have suffered five consecutive defeats. Fans have been waiting for a home win since May 2nd.
"It was undoubtedly the worst performance since I have been in Udine and in Italy. We lost duels, we were naive, we were not intense. In this situation, for which I take full responsibility, I will find the solution. The club has already experienced moments like these and knows how to deal with them." This is what Kosta Runjaic declared in the press conference after the heavy 3-0 home defeat inflicted by Lecce.
"I'm responsible for these five consecutive defeats - he added - in other circumstances we talked about bad luck, but today there are no excuses. It was just a totally negative performance, with the exception of Alaba, who I replaced at half-time because he felt a problem, and for Davis. But it's not a question of individuals but of the wrong attitude. Lecce deserved to win. Today I'm sad for our fans, who have also been waiting for a home victory since last May 2nd. Now we'll sleep on it and from tomorrow we'll head to Milan to find the solutions to this situation".
