Juventus coach, Alberto Zaccheroni, as always gave an indepth analysis of the match seeing the lack of choice and fatigue as the main culprits of tonight’s defeat agianst Palermo.

«I entered the dressing room and spoke of the fatigue. It is evident that this team simply needs to find a good physical condition which was lost by 50% by the players who were forced to play always like Chiellini, Melo and Diego. It is impossible for players to play with high intensity so often. It does not mean that we have to have all players with 90 minutes in their legs but if we have one with half an hour, then we must take advantage of this half hour and then change. This you can do when you have enough players available.».

The Juventus coach then went on to analyse the match in more detail: «In the first half we lacked the cruelty to score and lead. In the second half some problems emerged but on the bench I only had defenders and attackers and therefore I was limited when it came to inserting new energies».

The way to move on: «From a defeat one can make many conclusions. Mine is that we must recover our physical condition and at least half the injured players. If we manage to do this you will see the results. In the matches when we could make the necessary changes we brought home the results».

Asked about Diego’s performance, Zac answered: «Diego played well. He gave a lot but was not so effective on conclusions but this is reasonable because he has played with continuity and needs to rest».

The next match for Juventus is on Saturday 6th against Fiorentina: «I think that this week, being a 5 day week not a 7 day one, we still have time to recover and we will get back. I am careful when it comes to fielding players who might have not recovered completely».
