Spalletti Slams Juventus' Lack of Courage
26 Nov
Summary
- Coach Spalletti cited a significant lack of courage post-match.
- Juventus secured a narrow 4-3 victory against Bodo/Glimt.
- Jonathan David scored the decisive goal in stoppage time.
Newly appointed Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti has expressed significant dissatisfaction following his team's hard-fought 4-3 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. Spalletti openly criticized the squad's lack of courage and pointed to major underlying issues within the team camp. This win marked Juventus' first Champions League success of the season under the former Italy boss.
The match itself was a dramatic encounter at Aspmyra Stadion. Bodo/Glimt took the lead twice, first through Ole Didrik Blomberg and later through Sondre Brunstad Fet's penalty. Juventus responded through Lois Openda and Weston McKennie, but it was Jonathan David's crucial goal in the 91st minute that ultimately secured the victory for the Italian side.
Spalletti's candid remarks suggest that while the team is achieving results, their performance and mentality require substantial improvement. His immediate focus will be on addressing these internal problems and fostering a more courageous approach to future matches, aiming to build on this crucial, albeit turbulent, win.
