Coach Igor Tudor, Manuel Locatelli and Teun Koopmeiners spoke to the press after Juventus’ 5-2 loss against Manchester City on Matchday three of the FIFA Club World Cup Group Stage.
IGOR TUDOR
“Losing is a bad feeling and losing like that is never good. Manchester City played well, they did well and congratulations to them. We didn't manage to recover the ball where we wanted to and when we had possession we didn't handle it well because they pressed us with intensity and timing. We had to be perfect and we were not. This match does not take alter out path, football is like that. Now we rest, recover and focus on preparing for the next game.”
MANUEL LOCATELLI
“We had a bad game that we have to analyse, we have to understand where we went wrong. Manchester City are one of the strongest teams in the world, but we definitely made a lot of mistakes. We have to roll up our sleeves and try to put in a great performance in the Round of 16.”
TEUN KOOPMEINERS
“It was a difficult game against a strong opponent, there are many things we have to learn from this match. We must also do better technically, as well as defending and recovering the ball in more advanced areas of the pitch. We couldn't get a positive result today, now we have to focus on the next game and give everything we have.”
