"Technically and tactically we made too many mistakes, for example: at the level of distribution below the ball line, we were in bad shape, we did not attack the lost ball and we allowed plenty of stop-starts. Regarding the good, however, I saw the character aspect: the team wanted the victory at all costs and reached it through Douglas in collaboration with Higuain. The result was important because getting the qualification with two days in advance is not easy, now we aim to finish first.”
"I replaced Ronaldo because I saw him worried, I noticed that the match was not smooth. It was a precautionary change. Douglas? He is recovering but he does not have those burning accelerations he had before the injury. He scored a goal that is part of his extraordinary gifts, but he can still grow.”
LEONARDO BONUCCI
“Let's enjoy the first achieved objective of the season, but we must already think about Sunday: it will be an important match. My goal-line save? It would have allowed us to take home a point, while Douglas' goal allowed us to take three points. We are a team that adapts to the matches, we play the game asked of the coach, and when it comes to suffering, we know how to handle it, and we also know how to punish at the right moment.”
DOUGLAS COSTA
“This is one of the most important goals I have scored since being at Juve. I am happy to have come onto the field and being able to help my teammates in this way. The cold did not help us today, but we played together as a team and in the end, we managed to bring it home.”
AARON RAMSEY
“That was our target to come into the game: to win and secure qualification. We still have work to do to finish top, and we achieved that target of qualifying tonight. We are happy and we look forward to the next matches.”
