Álvaro Morata – Juventus – Barcelona – UEFA Champions League
Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said he was angry about the opportunity Alvaro Morata squandered at Atalanta.
Morata missed the chance of a goal investigator in the twelfth minute, after he took advantage of a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo and the goalkeeper’s fall to strike the heel and the goal was left empty outside the net.
Juventus lost two points in a 1-1 draw at home to Nerazzurri Bergamo on matchday 12 of the Italian League. (See details)
Pirlo said after the end of the match: “We have to win these games, in which we have to take a step forward. On the contrary, we make mistakes that make us not win games. We have to go through those games with ferocity and concentration.”
And on Ronaldo’s wrong penalty: “It’s bad because it was helping him to excel, but those things happen.
The Italian coach revealed his reaction to Morata’s waste, saying: “It made me very angry, it is something we cannot bear, these opportunities can direct the game in a certain way.”
“You have to be clear to make the right decision and he didn’t, even though he played a great game, sometimes goals aren’t scored.”
A sixth draw for La Vieja in the first 12 matchdays, which was achieved for the first time since the 1984-85 season, at which point Juventus ended its sixth season.
A sixth has also drawn between Juventus and Atalanta in the last 11 matches since 2017, with Juventus winning 4 and Atalanta at 1 in all competitions.
Gianpiero Gasperini, current Atalanta coach, since taking office, also drew against Juventus in 6 of the 8 games with all the teams he coached.
As a result, Juventus temporarily climbed to third place with 24 points, while Atalanta climbed to eighth place with 18 points, after tying third in the last 5 games.
