Coach Thiago Motta and Federico Gatti spoke to the press after Juventus’ 1-1 draw against Cagliari at the Allianz Stadium.
THIAGO MOTTA
“There are games that annoy you, today is one of those that makes me angry, because I am convinced we can do better: we have to digest this draw and move on. We had a lot of chances in the first half, after we took the lead we had to keep our balance and attack better to put the game to bed, and we didn't do that, after which they scored. You have to be precise and clinical to close the game out, instead today we left it open; it's something we have to improve, because in the future there will be other moments like that. Today we did almost everything well, Cagliari gradually regained confidence and got the equaliser. Their goal is a sum of many other situations in which we should have put the game to bed and calmly seen out the win, and instead we got ourselves into trouble. We win together, we draw and eventually we lose together: there are no individual faults, all the players have my full trust.”
FEDERICO GATTI
“Today has nothing to do with tiredness after Wednesday, but it's a question of attitude, these games should not be drawn, they are two points lost that could prove costly at the end of the season; we must learn from this. Individual mistakes have nothing to do with it, but I repeat that it's a question of attitude and that concerns the whole team, now we have a week and a half to get back to work, but you can't give away two points like that.”
