Spalletti: We lost our calm and couldn't maintain the rhythm
Luciano Spalletti, Juventus' manager, expressed his dissatisfaction with his team's performance following the draw against Fiorentina, confirming that his players lost confidence and composure at certain moments during the match.
Spalletti said in statements to DAZN: "Sometimes we completely lose our confidence and calm while playing. We conceded the goal quickly almost because we failed to handle the movements of our defensive line as required."
Juventus manager added that his team showed a good reaction afterwards, but they were unable to maintain the same level throughout the match, explaining: "We couldn't keep our consistency, even on an individual level. At times we decide to do nothing and just stand still, accepting the situation instead of making a decision and trying to respond."
Regarding the controversial moment concerning Juventus' penalty appeal after a challenge on João Mário, Spalletti said: "I don't know if it was a penalty or not, because I really don't know. I don't need to see it again, I have already seen it from the pitch."
