"It was a painful lesson for me, so seeing as I should've predicted it wouldn't work, I made it more difficult for them, In the second half, when we changed system, I saw a different energy and balance to the team. We had equalised and got the match on track, but then we conceded another goal, and it all became more difficult."
"I have the same intentions and certainty as when I accepted the Juventus job. I see them improve in training, and the more I see these players, the more I get angry and am at the same time relaxed. They keep me on a rollercoaster, really. You see some things and believe, at last, they've got it and will repeat it more often, but instead, it gets cancelled out, and we start from scratch."
Luciano Spalletti admitted tactical choices contributed to Juventus' 2-1 defeat to Napoli, calling the result a painful lesson. He observed a stronger energy and balance after a mid-game system change, but conceded that conceding a second goal made recovery more difficult. Spalletti said he still has the same intentions and certainty from when he took the job, noting visible improvements in training alongside frustrating inconsistencies in match execution. He insisted he will not alter his approach because of one result. Juventus sit on six Champions League points and prepare to face Pafos after mixed home performances.
