The Bianconeri head coach believes that the Rossoblu taught them an important lesson at Juventus Stadium.
Antonio Conte is frustrated with dropped points against Cagliari at Juventus Stadium on Sunday, January15th, 2012.
The Lady Killers were expected to emerge victorious in an easy home game against the mid-table outfit. However, the game ended in a shocking 1-1 draw. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024 opened the scoring for the Turin giants in the seventh minute,
and the hosts dominated throughout the first-half.
The course of the game changed when Cagliari bounced back with an equalizer in the early minutes of the second-half. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gianluigi-Buffon-c14833.
Juve failed to recover from the equalizer and were held to a stalemate. The Bianconeri boss believes that his team deserved to win, and the result serves as a reminder that they need to concentrate and keep on fighting until the
end.
While talking to the media after the match, Antonio Conte said,
“I think the game immediately started well for us, as we were in the lead and playing good football with many chances to finish it off. After the break we conceded straight away and that goal made us freeze up. We improved later,
but were unable to take our scoring opportunities.”
The tactician defended his tactics of substituting Vucinic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Matri-c4733 in the latter part of the game, and insisted that he wanted to introduce fresh legs onto the pitch.
“I tried to introduce fresh legs in attack, but the final blow just didn’t come. I am not satisfied with the result, as we must be intelligent enough to improve on negatives and continue this campaign that is above our expectations,”
said the Juve boss.
Luckily for the Turin giants, the dropped points did not cost them a lot, as their closest rivals, A.C Milan, lost their respective league game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan. Juventus have extended their unbeaten streak to 18 league games,
and are atop the league standings.
La Vecchia Signora will face Atalanta in their next game on Saturday, January 21.
