Spalletti: It is not easy to maintain the top level, Juventus still has many details to improve

Early this morning on November 2nd, in the 10th round of Serie A this season, Juventus defeated Cremonese 2-1 in an away game. New coach Spalletti made his first victory as coach of Juventus. He was interviewed after the game.

About this game

I originally expected that our opponents would cause us more trouble, but in the offense, it was difficult for us to achieve side shifts. In fact, the reason why opponents can pose an effective threat is mainly because of Vardy's existence - he is the opponent's most dangerous player. From the perspective of Juventus' defensive organization, Kupmenas is more active than any defensive player in the team in returning to defense and transitioning between offense and defense.

Vlahovich mentioned before that "Juventus needs to get rid of some bad habits." What do you think?

We performed well at the beginning of the first half, but towards the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, our state experienced certain ups and downs. However, we created a lot of threatening scoring opportunities in the game. Such performance is actually rare. We need to continue to improve next.

Which aspect of "mentality, technology, and physical fitness" do you hope Juventus will focus on improving?

All three aspects need to be strengthened. The team must grow quickly, and some players have already shown potential. I have confidence in them, but Juventus' competitive intensity and team positioning will make everyone truly feel the weight of this responsibility. When I communicated with the management yesterday, I mentioned that from the outside, everything seems to be going well for Juventus for a period of time, but when you really get involved, you will find that there are still many details that need to be perfected - it is not easy to maintain the top level. This victory is very important to us because it will allow us to enter subsequent training with a more stable mentality.

About my feelings about returning to coaching this time

I have always been a coach. To me, football is like this: in this field, we need to maintain close contact with the team and do everything well in order to repay those who support us. I will dedicate myself to building a good relationship with the players. Hopefully it works this time - I wasn't good enough at this when I was coaching the Italian national team. Hopefully, through such efforts, we can all grow together.
