(PRIMASPORT) CAGLIARI – Juventus had to settle for a draw away to Cagliari, after trailing the Sardinians for 60 minutes, who took the lead after 20 minutes through Daniel Maldini. The Bianconeri played a dynamic game and created chances, encountering Caprile's saves. Furthermore, their shots grazed the woodwork. They finally conceded in the 81st minute with a perfect combination between Alajbegovic, author of a millimetric cross, and Kolo Muani, who took the defenders' time and headed the ball into the net, scoring his first goal in Serie A. Four minutes later, the same French striker had a chance to double the lead, but his shot from the six-yard box hit the crossbar, and Woltemade was unable to tap in the rebound. At the final whistle, sparks erupted between Spalletti and Pisacane, who were shown the red card by the referee.
«"It's a shame about the result because we had chances and we should have taken the three points from this match," said Kolo Muanì. "At halftime, the coach asked us to increase the number of balls in the penalty area to hurt our opponents. I get along well with Woltemade; he's tall and challenges the opposing defenders a lot, so I have a little more space and freedom." "We put in a great performance, but we're missing a result. By playing like this, I'm convinced we can win a lot, but it's also true that we need to improve our finishing. I'm a little angry because these are games we have to win; the team has significant potential," Spalletti said after the match.«"It could have all ended with a hug, it's a shame. Spalletti already showed his concern yesterday," observed coach Pisacane. "If Juve are worried about us on matchday three, it means we're on the right track. They deserved the draw. I like to emphasize that we do what we can; against a team like that, I said that if we'd lost, I wouldn't have been able to say anything to the team. I emphasize the team spirit; some people are talking about the shots we conceded, but they're in line with our objectives. Maldini is a player who needs to move dynamically.". (PRIMASPORT)
