SARRI: "THE TEAM WANTED THE VICTORY AT ALL COSTS"

Juventus' coach Maurizio Sarri spoke in his post-match press conference following the away win against Lokomotiv Moskow.

"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.
