Luciano Spalletti was scathing about the penalty not awarded to Juventus: “A backup question?”

Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti analyzed his team’s performance in Florence on DAZN. “Every now and then we make a big deal out of nothing, and then we lose a bit of our confidence. On the goal, we didn’t communicate the shift in the defensive line, so we had some good reactions but we can’t be consistent. We do something right for ten minutes, then in the next situation we don’t react correctly.”

“In defense, at times, we decide to just stand there and accept the situation without making a decision and taking action—it’s the decision that eliminates doubt; if you remain in doubt, you almost never manage to achieve anything significant,” he adds.

“In attack, I chose to start Woltemade and Kolo Muani together,” he explains, “ I did this because Fiorentina’s players come at you aggressively, and you have to go straight to the center forward; Woltemade has shown he has something extra—even if ball control isn’t his primary strength, he’s more of a playmaker who excels at linking up with teammates. Kolo Muani is doing better now, and with this newfound energy, he can play in any position. He’s moving more now, and I see him as more focused.”

“The penalty incident? I don’t need to watch it again—I already saw it on the field. I don’t know what to say. Can I have a follow-up question?” The grand finale.
