The races are won on the pitch, but also on the bench and in Benevento Juventus made mistakes on all fronts. We continue to think that Cristiano Ronakdo, mindful of the past, had at least to go to the bench, a heavy mistake without even a fourth striker to appear in Campania with only two forwards, something that will also be repeated in the derby.
THE CHOICE – The most sensational choice was to leave Ronaldo at home, a choice that Mr. Pirlo describes as follows: “on Wednesday he had a problem in the Champions League and wanted to play anyway. We then decided to recover because he had also played many games with the national team, therefore it is normal for someone to get tired and rest. This time it was Ronaldo’s turn, in other games it was others’. It’s a shame, certainly Ronaldo is an added value, he has shown it in all the matches, but even if he doesn’t there we have to try to play our matches. He was tired, he needed to rest, as other players need to rest because they have always played the same ones especially in defense. It happens when you play many close matches. It happens to us, they also happen to teams that make the Champions League and play in the national team. So I think it’s a bit normal for everyone. “
“. Yesterday’s choice, however, goes a bit in contradiction with the words of the coach:” when we lack players of experience and personality that are an important thing with the growth process we struggle and we have shown it tonight as in others matches. ”If you knew there would be problems without personality players, then Ronaldo’s failure to call was almost a conscious own goal.
DISCUSSIBLE ERRORS – then there are certainly questionable and hard to understand choices, even in formations with players who fail to affect, especially if they come off the bench. Pirlo sees it this way: “We had managed the first half well, we had taken the lead, we could have closed it, because we had opportunities to end the game, but we still can’t understand the moments of the match well. We had a corner kick. , we beat him fast, when instead we had to finish the first half by keeping the ball. We wanted to play fast, they went down and we conceded. Unfortunately it is not the first we take at the end of both the first and the second, so we have to grow quickly because we have to understand that the matches are not all the same, the moments of the matches are not all the same and must be managed differently. Unfortunately, in the end there was a bit of nervousness, little clarity, when instead it was necessary to be clearer to try to score goals. But we have to work, continue to grow, try to understand what state we are in and what level of the match it is. “.
In short, too many inconsistencies that even the coach struggles to explain, we need to do more and better. We gave ourselves up to the break to give time. Now that time has expired and the first judgments arrive that say that Juventus today is behind the competition.
