In the seventh round of the Serie A league, Vlahović scored first, Marin equalized with a penalty, Conceição received a red card, and ultimately, ten-man Juventus drew 1-1 with Cagliari at home. After the match, Juventus coach Motta gave an interview to the media.
Marin’s equalizing goal in the final moments ended Juventus’ record of 627 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal in Serie A.
In an interview with DAZN, Motta said: “After scoring in the first half, we controlled the game and managed possession, but we shouldn’t have done that; we should have continued attacking. In the second half, we created some opportunities, but it always felt like Cagliari might equalize.”
“We took the lead and then tried to maintain the result, but we couldn’t do it in the end, which is something we need to improve. All Serie A matches are tough, no matter who the opponent is. Today, we left room for the opponent to equalize, and we found it hard to close out the game.”
“I think we did everything we were supposed to today. Because there was a penalty and a red card at the end of the match, it was difficult to get the result we wanted. Vlahović missed a big chance before the equalizer? There’s nothing to say about that; it happens. We must do a lot to improve our competitiveness and continue on the path of growth.”
