Juventus Coach Talks About Loss to Como
Juventus coach Igor Tudor spoke about the reasons for the surprising loss to Como with a score of 0-2 in the seventh round of the Italian league, as well as his decision to give Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic limited minutes in the match.
Mark Oliver Kempf and Nico Paz scored the winning goals for Como, marking the team's first victory over Juventus in nearly 70 years, while the Bianconeri continued their negative results after more than a month without a win since defeating Inter 4-3 last September.
Tudor said after the match: "It was a tough match against a very organized team. We conceded a goal from a set piece, and after the second goal, the match was effectively over. We tried to reach their areas, but we lacked the final touch."
Regarding his decision to switch to a four-man defense in light of Gleison Bremer, he added: "I thought this was the best option for the team, and I don't think the result means the decision was wrong."
As for bringing Vlahovic on in the 77th minute only, the coach explained: "I wanted to try playing with two strikers in the end, but facing Como required a lot of effort, and playing against them is not easy due to their speed in counterattacks."
In conclusion, Tudor admitted he is naturally concerned, saying: "I am always worried; this is the life of a coach. We will discuss what happened in the locker room to try to improve things."
