Luciano Spalletti, the coach of Juventus, expressed his disappointment after his team drew against Sassuolo, confirming that the performance did not reflect the required level, especially in terms of maturity and decision-making on the field.

Spalletti said: "We showed a lack of maturity and precision in our choices, and we did not have enough understanding of what we needed to do."

He continued: "This draw stopped a series of two consecutive victories, which is disappointing for us."

He added: "Regarding the penalty, Locatelli told me he would take it, so I asked him if he was ready for it, and he confirmed it to me."

He continued: "He is the main executor, and he had scored the previous penalty, so the decision was natural, and it is also natural for penalties to be missed."

He added: "Missing the penalty raises a lot of talk, and we are sad because we did not succeed in achieving the win."

On the tactical aspects: "Since our players are good at individual confrontations, I asked them to advance towards Yildiz and Conceição."

He added: "We were playing with our backs to the goal at the edge of the penalty area, and we made decisions that cost us a lot during the match."

He continued: "We created many chances inside their penalty area, and we reached the goal about 10 times through Yildiz and Conceição, along with some shared balls."

He also spoke about the return of some players, saying: "Despite the sadness, there are some positives, but the result is always the deciding factor."

He added: "We could have avoided some of the risks we faced, and we must accept what happened, as there is still time."

Spalletti concluded his statements by saying: "We must trust the Italian national team, as important decisions have been made, and I see that Gattuso's choices are correct."
