Spalletti after Champions League defeat: ‘Use pain as motivation for redemption’

Milan, 20 February (LaPresse) – “Sometimes there are things you perceive, hear, but which still hurt you even if they are unfair. So you have to take note of them and decide what to do about what has happened. Reaction is certainly valuable, but it is the team’s awareness that determines whether you stand still or try to grow again in the moment you are going through. So you analyse things correctly and objectively. As we have said many times, this pain must be a springboard that charges you up and pushes you towards the next game.‘ These were the words of Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti speaking at a press conference on the eve of the league match against Como. ’The three steps backwards were discussed in the meeting with the players, in order to have a strong reaction and impact in the next few games,” he added.
