“We did little to win” – Spalletti criticises team’s approach vs Milan, hails ‘excellent’ Juventus striker Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti believes his side should have taken more risks against Milan on Sunday evening. For the second time this season, the two old rivals settled for a goalless draw. Although the contest took place at San Siro, the Bianconeri took control of the action for the bulk of the match, while the hosts sat back and tried to harry their opponents on the counterattack.

In the end, neither side was able to score , so the two clubs ended up preserving the status quo, with the Rossoneri remaining in third place three points ahead of the Old Lady. Luciano Spalletti wanted a more determined Juventus against Milan After the game, Spalletti admitted that Juventus should have pushed forward with a bit more intensity, but were perhaps too afraid of Milan’s counterattacks. “We did little to win it.

We were a bit hesitant to fully take control of the game and risk something—and there’s always risk in a match,” said the 67-year-old in one of his post-match interviews via JuventusNews24 . “In this case, we knew it too, and when you know the risk, it almost becomes less of one because you understand where it’s coming from. “But they’re very good at making you feel in control, making you forget the key areas, drawing you into the game, then winning the ball back and flipping the pitch in an instant.

That thought held us back a bit. “In the second half, we were freer, we tried a few moments of inspiration, some individual plays. We tried to put some heart into it as well, but we couldn’t quite manage it.
