Spalletti: We need to take risks and secure results
At 20:45 CEST on Saturday, May 9, the Juventus Men's First Team will play away against Lecce on Matchday 36 of the 2025/26 Serie A season.
Coach Luciano Spalletti spoke about the match against the Salentini at the pre-match press conference.
RECENT FORM
āWe want to pick up where we left off at the end of the last match. It wasnāt all a write-off, our fans recognised our commitment and quality. We want to build on what we did well, even though it didnāt yield the result weād hoped for. The mistake we mustnāt make is to blame it on bad luck. When you donāt win matches, itās tough in the dressing room. Iāve seen them this week, and Iām convinced theyāll respond. Pain gives rise to a strength you didnāt have before, Character emerges from what isnāt going well and which youāre forced to turn around."
LECCE'S QUALITY AND VLAHOVIC'S RETURN
"Tomorrow weāre playing against a well-organised side. I know [Eusebio] Di Francesco, heās a good manager, and I know [Pantaleo] Corvino. I know they have a club that invests, these are all factors that add value. Weāll be up against a side that will play at a high tempo, itāll take everything weāve got to secure a significant result on a pitch like that. [Dusan] Vlahovic starting the game is a possibility. Letās not place too much responsibility on him either, team cohesion comes from many things."
MENTALITY
"Weāve ruled out a few options; before, there were different alternatives. In some ways, though, the path is now clearer, thereās only one way forward, with no room for distraction. You donāt risk getting there whilst harbouring doubts about how you should behave. You have to be resolute in your choices and intentions. Thatās what makes the difference, we need to do something that breaks the monotony, the routine. We need to take risks, keep up with the fast pace. And secure results that are crucial for us."
