Pirlo on the shocking loss of Juventus: It was not our day
Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said it was not thier day in the shocking 1-0 defeat at home to Benevento, but insisted that the Whites should continue to believe in their title chances.
Juve were shocked in Turin by the team that risks relegation from Serie A and which had never won before at the Allianz Stadium.
This was the first victory after 11 games without a win in Serie A for Benevento, or since January 6.
As a result of this defeat, which is the fourth for Andrea Pirlo’s team this season, the whites remain at the figure of 55 points, 10 away from the leader Inter, 11 games before the end of the 2020/21 season.
“They were not under pressure to win, they just expected us to do better. But, it was a bad day in every aspect, our attitude, our technical mistakes, everything. When you play like that, you lose.” said Pirlo after the match.
“But we have to keep believing, keep going our way in order to be on top. As I said yesterday, the goal does not change, but we must take a completely different stance. We wear an important jersey and we have to honor it every time.” he added.
