"Juventus" strategist Maurizio Sarri commented on his decisions in the match against the "Fiorentina" team.
On Sunday, the "Serie A" champions defeated the Florence team 3-0 at home.
"We played a difficult match, as this season "Fiorentina" had not yet lost in the Italian championship.
I chose D.Costa because I knew that the "violets" would block spaces in the center of the field and I hoped he would help expand the game.
Leaving P.Dybala on the bench and not including him in the starting eleven is a sacrilege, but we have so many capable attacking footballers and we cannot play them all at once.
We need to balance the team and against "Fiorentina," Gonzalo Higuain was more useful," said M.Sarri.
"If we use all four immediately, then we sacrifice their positive qualities, for example, it is meaningless to ask C.Ronaldo to play on the edge of the field."
