Golden equalizer for Udinese in the key to salvation. To comment on the 1-1 draw in the final minutes against Napoli, the Juventus coach, Fabio Cannavaroto the microphones of DAZN: “Beyond the tactical aspect, I liked the attitude. Napoli came here to play the game, to win, and this draw has a different flavour. Against a great team that is only behind Inter. We must use it for the next races, we know it’s hard but not impossible.”
Until the end you showed courage and desire.
“You know how strong Napoli is, how difficult it is to play against them. Because of the occupation of space and not only that. I liked the boys because we attacked, we finalized the opportunities we created. In the second half I warned that the first 15 minutes they would have been important, that we had to push the team behind. Then Osimhen scores, but you know that they are great champions and we need to be very focused. We are aware that the situation is not easy, we are trying to take away a bit of fear they lost these matches, we are trying to recover. The team is alive, we saw it in Bologna.”
This late goal can also provide momentum for direct clashes.
“You know what a draw like that leaves you with. Certainly with the work they’re doing these days it’s a lot of stuff. We have to start again from this, knowing that we’re going to two difficult fields like Lecce and Frosinone. But destiny is in our hands, if the answers are these then we are alive. We faced three strong teams, the others had control of the match. But against the others we must exploit our weapons. Today we were missing three players compared to Bologna and we are making up for them for these three matches finals”.
Seeing Osimhen’s goal again, what did you think?
“Aside from Osimhen, the error was on the right. I had explained to the two defenders to put Osimhen in the middle and try to limit him because when he goes into the third period he is devastating. He passed in the middle. Politano must never cross. These are things that we need to improve.”
