Spalletti: If Juventus keeps performing like today, we will definitely win a lot of games

This morning, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Juventus drew 1-1 with Sporting CP at home. Juventus coach Spalletti was interviewed after the game.

About this game

I am very satisfied with the team's performance tonight, because the players showed their tenacious character and desire to win. However, we still need to improve our offensive and defensive handling in a small area. We sometimes appear a bit chaotic on the court. If Juventus keeps performing like today, we will definitely win a lot of games.

About Yildiz's position on the field

Yildiz can play multiple positions on the field, because no matter which position he is in, he can find a solution to the problem. Of course, things should follow logic, but his ability is indeed enough to adapt to different positions.

About Juventus’ two substitute players today, Moretti and Adzic.

Players who can join Juventus, without exception, have outstanding personal abilities. Of course, players' physical conditions will have ups and downs, which will also affect their performance, but the characteristics of these two players are very helpful to our team. We know Moretti's situation very well; and Adzic is strong and his pass is extremely threatening. His foot speed is not very fast, but his thinking and reaction are very quick, and he can accurately complete the technical actions required in our tactical system.

About Regrova

I still need to continue to observe him. At present, the left winger is the most suitable position for him. When he is active on the left, he can complete drastic breakthroughs. Let him try more cutting-in and space-opening styles, which will allow him to confront defensive players more directly. I had known him before, but this time I was impressed by his speed - in small areas, his sprints were like lightning. Moreover, his touch is very delicate and he has a good sense of control of the ball. In addition, the medical team told me before that his leg muscle endurance needs to be strengthened, but as follow-up training progresses, his condition will get better and better, and he will also be able to provide the team with more tactical options.

Juventus has a lot of shots on the field but very few shots on goal. What do you think of these statistics?

In my opinion, if you look at other teams that have played against Sporting CP, you will find that those teams have had many more shots on goal than us. Sporting CP is a difficult team to deal with. They have many international-level players in their squad, who have excellent ball control skills and a very aggressive style of play. They will take the initiative to put pressure on us. Therefore, I am very satisfied with Juventus' 18 shots today. The situation at the beginning of the game was very stalemate, which made me a little worried for a while, but the team responded very well afterwards, and the players showed the mentality and tactical literacy that professional players should have - this makes me confident about the future.

At the end of the game, you seemed a little emotional...

I was angry at Gerova because he made a mistake in a pass to David. We gave the ball away to our opponents several times throughout the game. You know, we have put in a lot of effort to regain the ball, and the confrontation on the field was very fierce, but we made many mistakes easily, allowing our opponents to easily gain the ball. This turnover rate is too high. Many of the opponents' ball possession opportunities were actually given to them by our mistakes. Because of this, I was a little emotional at the time, but overall, the team's performance was excellent.

Can you explain what the word "zeppettina" you shouted from the sidelines means here?

means 'lo scavino' (lo scavino). Gerglova completed such an inside move many times tonight. Being able to do this shows that he has good abilities.
