Why It Matters
Juventus are going through a difficult period after the draw against Cagliari, which increased criticism of coach Spalletti and the team. The coach is trying to redeem himself in the Europa League, a competition in which he has never achieved significant results in his career.
The return from the long break for the national teams was more disappointing than expected, the draw in Cagliari brought Juventus and Spalletti back into the midst of criticism. Now the opportunity for redemption comes again away, but the atmosphere and competition will change: the Bianconeri are awaiting the match in Spain against Celta Vigo, the objective in Europe is to find victory again and repeat the goal on their debut against Nec.
"I will do everything to get to the end of this competition - says Spalletti, who in his career has not managed to achieve great results in international tournaments - it's something I miss just as I miss many other things". The next obstacle will be Celta Vigo at the Abanca Balaìdos stadium: "We face a difficult opponent, they are experts and cover the pitch well - says Spalletti on the eve - and they are a very orderly team in both phases, both the defensive and the offensive ones: we will have to be attentive and we will have to identify the moments that can make the difference".
It is precisely on this point, therefore, that the coach continues to hammer on: "It happens that during matches you are given the opportunity to change everything, it is in those moments that we have to be venomous and put teamwork into practice" the step that Juve must take in order to truly turn the corner. In the week of the three matches it is inevitable that there will be a bit of turnover: "There is a lot of truth in some of these names - Spalletti's answer on the possibility of seeing Gatti, Cambiaso, Koopmeiners and Woltemade - and we need them because we have to change something: not so much because of the effort made in Cagliari, because we had a few days to recover, but in anticipation of the next match against Lazio and because we will return at 4 in the morning".
Precisely against the Biancocelesti the coach will not be there due to disqualification: "I accept it but we haven't done anything, whoever said that I would have said that I would have given a slap said something very false" Spalletti's comment on the stoppage after the very close face to face with his Cagliari colleague Pisacane. The one who seems forced into overtime is Conceicao: "Here if you don't win you don't feel good because the demands are high, but we know it and we work to improve as quickly as possible - says the Portuguese - we have maximum objectives, even in Europe: in Cagliari it was the details that made the difference, to win against Celta Vigo we should do our best".
