(PRIMASPORT) TURIN Juventus is preparing for their Serie A match against Lazio with a more relaxed atmosphere following a clarification between coach Luciano Spalletti and Portuguese winger Francisco Conceicao. The disagreement, which arose at the end of the Europa League match against Celta Vigo over an early substitution in the 64th minute, has been definitively resolved by the player himself, who spoke to the coach and CEO Giovanni Carnevali.
Tension was visibly evident when Conceicao, displeased with the substitution, expressed his frustration with a gesture on the bench and a heated exchange with assistant Martusciello, before returning without further incident. Post-match, Conceicao downplayed the incident, while Spalletti emphasized the player's need to maintain his composure throughout the match, not just after the substitution.
The following day, a dialogue between the coach, player, and management calmed tensions, avoiding disciplinary action. Conceicao is now ready to return to the field to contribute to the team. Sergio Conceicao, Francisco's father and coach, also weighed in on the matter, emphasizing the importance of respecting technical decisions and understanding the emotional reaction of a player eager to perform at his best.
