Juventus, Spalletti: "In Napoli I damaged the team"
Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti spoke on the eve of the Champions League match against Pafos: the Bianconeri coach urged not to underestimate the Cypriots. “Pafos is tough, they are full of Portuguese and Brazilians. It is a team that only looked bad against Bayern. Then it took very few goals despite having top opponents. They are a tough team and willing to put it on the physical level. And they are organized on set pieces”.
On the difficulties in attack: “The numbers are the unwanted ones at the moment, both at the level of results and individuality. Now I have more knowledge of the players I have at my disposal, and for me that is fundamental. Then I see that some things have improved. We are not good at repeating them often inside the game these things that they have, but they are there in the conditions to be taken. We have to do them more and recognize them more”.

The Naples game: “Without strikers in Naples? It was not to goad them but to want to win the game. I went to play that way because I was convinced it was the right system, then I did not get the result I wanted. Of course I have responsibilities. I did not put the team in a position to do the best and I damaged the team”.
On the discontinuity of the team: “They make me stand on the’roller coaster, sometimes I laugh and sometimes I yell. Then you see them doing good things and you think it will happen again and again, but instead you go and undo it and start over. For me nothing changes and nothing will change, I won’t change because of a result or attitude. You deal with things and try to find the explanation for what happened”.
The condition of Bremer and Rugani: “I expect them with open arms, they will be on the bench. I cannot tell you if they will be in the game or not. They will train tomorrow if they don”t get in those 10-15 minutes, then you raise the level to be able to make different speeches”.
