Andrea Pirlo was self-critical after the derby draw with Torino (2-2), a result that further complicated Juventus’ accounts in the title race.
“We started the game well, we scored first, which is always difficult when we play defensive teams. And as is customary, we made life difficult for ourselves “, he began by telling the DAZN, in reference to the goals that allowed him to turn around Torino.
“We wanted a different second half, but we made a mistake right away and we had to react. A mistake we have made in the past, sadly too many times. We also have lapses and concentration, ”said the Juve coach, reinforcing:
– We cannot lose concentration for a second because, the moment we lose the ball, we are punished.
“We have to work on the principles of football, such as positioning and movements, looking for spaces between the lines, especially against teams that defend well. Right now we are doing a lot of horizontal passes and that makes us predictable, “he lamented.
Despite the mistakes, Pirlo saw the team squander the few chances they had to win the match: “We had a ball in the iron and a chance from Cristiano Ronaldo. It is natural that, against teams that are installed on defense, it is difficult to move the ball quickly.
Cristiano Ronaldo ended up dodging the worst and scored the draw, a result still insufficient for the aspirations of Juventus, which is looking for the tenth Scudetto consecutive. With nine games to go in Serie A, they are in fifth place with 56 points, away from Inter Milan’s leaders, who have 68.
