 | Pirlo: We are ready to play with Napoli, but the decision is unfair23-12-2020 |
Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo was not particularly happy after his team suffered a double blow within hours. It was first announced that the official victory over Napoli was canceled and the match would be played (the match was originally scheduled for October 4, but in Napoli there were two infected with coronavirus and the team did not travel to Turin afterreceived a ban from local health authorities). Juventus then lost 0-3 at home to Fiorentina.
`A canceled win can`t be an excuse. We started the game with the wrong setting and when that happens, it usually ends badly. A similar thing can happen in the last game before Christmas, when the players start thinking about the holidays. We were inert. and distracted, which made the loss inevitable. We have no problem playing with Napoli. I am more upset about the other teams that traveled and played their matches with more coronavirus infected.
They acted fairly, playing regardless of the circumstances. I can`t comment on the correctness of the decision, but it is definitely unfair to those teams that managed to play their matches in a more complicated situation. Juan Cuadrado`s red card was obvious. There is no point in talking about any tactics after giving awaygoal and numerical advantage of the opponent only in one half. We know that we are a strong team, but at the moment the favorites are Inter and Milan `, commented Pirlo.
