8.33 pm – Juric’s press conference begins
You have made a series of macroscopic technical mistakes: is it regret?
“Yes. I agree: all Juve’s occasions, from the first, have been heavy mistakes from a technical point of view and without sense. They are trivial mistakes both in the first and in the second half, you don’t normally expect them. biggest regret “
Missing a tip?
“In the second half I saw better, creating more. In the first half we could have done more, without central strikers you have to work more. The regret is the same as before: we made mistakes opening the field to Juve.”
Could we have done more in the first half?
“We prepared it as always, then we lacked a winning idea in winning a one-on-one and creating superiority. We could have done something more, but the spirit and ideas were the same. Then they played long ball”
Were you too nervous?
“We are losing the ball if the others press, but normally we don’t make these mistakes. We made other kinds of mistakes than usual.”
Is there frustration in you and in the locker room?
“It’s a broader discourse. When you are in Turin, you can have a year of rebirth like last year and you saw things in a certain way, but then it no longer goes well: without taking anything away in Verona, where they accept a situation, in Turin they do not accept it and frustration is created on the outside. The Bull must be worth more, but I look at the reality: I know what it is and what we have done, now I have to pass it on. It is a difficult job, in the life you have to set realistic goals. I can only work with guys who always give their best “
What’s Happening to Taurus?
“With Empoli it was among the best of my time, so I don’t see it like that”
How do you cheer up?
“We want to go to the Italian Cup on Tuesday and get back on track. There are positive moments and others in which we have to adapt, but the championship has just begun and we have to recover immediately.”
Was the contribution from the fans good?
“The environment was beautiful, there was great support: I’m sorry not to do something more. As a coach, I can’t give something more to this place. But I can’t take a step further. C “It’s a good team, but I can’t give the satisfaction that the square deserves. I know it has done so many good things, that we work like dogs and we have had so many problems, but I can’t fucking push you up. But it’s not resignation”
What will it take in January?
“I do not ask for reinforcements. I took two slaps and took two steps back. I have always fought and worked, even in Verona we had many fights and we took Amrabat changing the season. On certain things, however, I do not arrive and I have to concentrate on team: these guys train at the top, but I dedicate my energies on the pitch. The first transfer market in Verona was turbulent and we had fights, then I pulled back but they understood what I wanted and there was no longer any need for me to do the crazy”
Is the farewell near?
“I don’t command. We are the Bull: we had an amazing first year. To finish tenth, and it would be a Scudetto, you need to be enthusiastic. In Verona they asked me why I wasn’t happy despite a ninth place, I wanted to go to Europe. A Turin is not good for 12th or 13th place, I feel like a person who can’t give satisfaction. I can’t take a step. I always criticize myself, I ask myself “Ivan, why don’t you beat Empoli?” And I say to myself to do something more. We are all together, but I can’t give this thing here “
Is there a lack of quality in your team?
“There are situations in which he can have better or not better players. I have always valued the players, if they give me such important contracts it is because the players grow in value. My job is to take players and take them to another level. never had great players, I always look for the right key to make them grow and for this I am appreciated “
