Maurizio Sarri was disappointed not only with the result but also with the performance of his team after losing the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match to Lyon.
On Wednesday, Turin's Juventus, considered the absolute favorite, lost 0-1 to the Lyon team. The only and winning goal of the match came in the first half, which disappointed the specialist from Italy the most.
"It's hard to explain why, but in the first half the ball moved too slowly, we didn't penetrate dangerous areas, so it's natural that our opponents pressed us, took the ball and scored a goal," said M. Sarri.
"We lacked the desire and aggressiveness in attacking. Defensively, we didn't shine either, especially after having to sub out Matthijs de Ligt.
The second half was better, of course, but in the Champions League, that's not enough. I don't know why the players still don't understand how important it is to move the ball quickly.
This is perhaps the most important part of the game. We will continue to work on this component of the game and sooner or later it will "click" in our heads," the strategist did not hide his disappointment.
