On Tuesday, Turin's "Juventus" suffered a very bitter defeat in the "Serie A" championship, when they lost at home 0:3 to the "Fiorentina" team. The Italian champions were reduced to ten men in the 18th minute, but after the match, "Juventus" coach Andrea Pirlo said that this cannot be an excuse. "Getting a red card cannot be used as an excuse. The result was not determined by the opponents' good attitude towards the game, but by our relaxation. Players often relax in matches before Christmas, as they already think about the big holiday season. We lacked concentration. The decision to remove Juan Cuadrado from the field seems quite clear to me. However, there were moments when the referee could have made more favorable decisions for us, but I don't want to dwell too much on that," said A. Pirlo.
