Champions League
Pirlo: The goal suffered early frightened us, we have confidence for the return match
Juventus was defeated by Porto 2-1, in the first elimination match directly in the Champions League.
After the match, Juve coach Andrea Pirlo said that the goal at the beginning of the match changed everything.
“The attitude of the team was wrong. When you get a goal so fast you are afraid of missing the assurances, which should not be missing at this stage of the Champions League.”
“We conceded a strange goal and they decided the game as they wished. They were good at closing the spaces. Fatigue was also present, but I repeat this should not happen at this stage.”
“Fortunately, Chiesa’s goal gives us confidence and in Turin it will be another match.”
“Morata was not feeling well, at the end of the match he lay on the field, he was not ready, but we needed him.”
“Today we moved the ball very slowly, we did not read some situations well. We had prepared the match well, but the goal at the beginning changed everything. It became difficult, we forgave the match”, said Pirlo.
