DISAPPOINTMENT
“I applaud the guys for how they played, we were punished by individual incidents. Juve hadn’t given up four or five chances in open play for some time but we didn’t make the most of them. We lost because they came up with a piece of play from a great player and we got something a little wrong on a technical level. It’s disappointing because we gave everything, a win would have been fundamental.”
THE REFEREEING
“It’s too easy to look for excuses. I’m very disappointed because they stopped one of our moves for offside but not Juve’s. It’s upsetting, I don’t like the attitude. We respectfully ask for explanations but they’re never given because it seems impossible to do so. This annoys me but you have to accept it. It stings, we were doing well and convinced that we could do it but individual episodes hurt us. What is a penalty on Conti? You tell me. I don’t want to complain about it, we’ll be without some important players when we play away to Genoa.”
HEADS HELD HIGH
“Compliments have to be made and we need to keep this attitude without giving up. We didn’t win but the performance still stands. At the moment, the important thing is recouping our energy because if games are going well, you find it quickly but otherwise, it takes a while. We need to stay calm in our work. We still have improvements to make, we could have hurt this Juve side. Now, the focus turns to the league and the cup.”
PAQUETÁ
“He’s an important player but the whole team is in good shape physically. He covers the pitch well and gets involved in the play. Lucas had a very good game, he showed character and personality: apologies for the result.”
