Juventus defender apologises for blunder: “I take responsibility without excuses” Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer owned up to the mistake he made in the draw against Hellas Verona, which led to the shocking opener. The Bianconeri hosted the already-relegated Venetians at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday afternoon. While Luciano Spalletti’s men appeared to be in full control from the get-go, they couldn’t translate their domination into goals.
On the contrary, the visitors stunned the home crowd by scoring from their first chance of the match in the 34th minute. Gleison Bremer does a mea culpa after Verona howler Verona’s goal stemmed from Bremer’s failure to properly clear the ball. The Brazilian defender was too casual inside the penalty box.
The 29-year-old tried to pick up Pierre Kalulu at the corner flag, but his pass was too tame, while Domagoj Bradaric was closing up on the Frenchman. The Croatian wing-back was thus able to collect the ball, and he immediately found Kieron Bowie, who beat Michele Di Gregorio at his near post. After the match, Bremer raised his hand and admitted his mistake, while vowing to do better in the final three rounds of the season.
“Due to a misunderstanding, I was the one who made the mistake,” wrote the Brazilian international on his Instagram account . “I take responsibility without excuses. I should have done better.
Now, more united than ever. Fino alla fine. ” View this post on Instagram What Bremer’s mistake tells us about the Juventus squad Thanks to Dusan Vlahovic’s free-kick, Juventus were able to salvage a point.
