Rome, 17 May (LaPresse) – "Have we lost the match of our lives? It’s not that simple. When people say ‘they’re all finished’, that’s wrong; it’s wrong to write everyone off. These are just football matches. Obviously, this is a dreadful result. It’s an important match in terms of the standings. I’m just saying that the lads have made significant progress, and we need to maintain a level of character that matches this level of challenge and importance.” So said Luciano Spalletti, Juventus manager, to Sky Sport after the 2-0 home defeat against Fiorentina, which puts their Champions League qualification at serious risk. "If you’re not in a position to perform at the level you’re capable of, I have to question myself above all else. If I come onto the pitch and deliver this, I need to analyse what I’ve done before analysing what the players have done. We played a terrible match; from certain perspectives, some incidents didn’t go our way, and we did little of what the match required. But let’s not talk about life or death. We need to get back to everything that brought us this far,‘ added the Tuscan manager. ’I have very clear ideas about myself and my players. I’ve done everything I can to get them into the right frame of mind. I had to make sure we did well in this match," concluded Spalletti.
