Juventus still suffers from draws, but they emerge from the Champions League night in Birmingham refreshed in spirit and aware of being able to count on a group that in difficulties (extreme, considering that of the 17 players available on English soil, 3 were goalkeepers) does not raise the white flag and is indeed willing to respond with its own weapons.
Of course, the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa isn’t exactly a result to remember and pass down to posterity, but Motta tries to mostly observe the positive aspects: “A sure point, the team continues to play compact and with balance. Aston Villa starts very fast and is looking for its striker, we have conceded little. It is clear that we have also created little, so as not to give Aston Villa what he was looking for. Another good performance, a point and we will continue to try to qualify.”
On the other hand, Villans coach Emery points the finger at Rogers’ disallowed goal in the 93rd minute for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Di Gregorio. The Basque coach says: “I don’t really understand what happened. The referee gave the goal, then the VAR said it wasn’t a goal and I didn’t like that analysis. In England it’s not a foul and not even in Europe, so as for me and my team.”
