Women’s Super Cup, Joe Montemurro exults: ‘Juve plays to beat itself’

Women’s Super Cup, the words of the coaches

In the end è it was Juventus who came out on top, 2-1, but against Roma è it was a hard-fought match until the end, as explained in the postgame by the bianconere coach, Joe Montemurro: "This è a beautiful competition and è was played by two teams of international level – he said -, I think and I hope we saw a good show even if at this time of the year I expected at least 10 thousand people, the dry matches for us have a different dimension than those of the championship, today the team did well and we are happy".

"What I always say è that Juve does not play to beat Roma, Fiorentina or Bayern, Juve plays to beat itself – added the Australian coach -, and when we enter the field with the right mentality" we know we can have our say. Criticism? I am a coach, I work to respond to criticism on the field, what I ask you è not to criticize as fans but read the data and numbers, I would like these numbers to always be taken into consideration before any criticism".

On the other hand, there was Alessandro Spugna, Roma coach, who was disappointed with the defeat but also aware that the girls he coached played it to the best of their ability: "In finals like these I had said that there are no favorites, we lacked grit and started a little bit contracted, Juve proved to be meaner than us and punished us" he said.

"We will analyze the match from all points of view, on a technical level I have nothing to reproach the girls, in terms of grit sì. Now we work and look ahead, the championship è long, we have to try to increase our advantage" then concluded the coach of the Giallorossi, who in the championship look at all other teams from top to bottom and have six points ahead of Juventus itself, second.
