Vlahovic and Kelly: ‘Fate in Juventus hands, we showed resilience today’

“It happens, I hadn’t started for a long time and didn’t have the routine or match fitness,” Vlahovic told Sky Sport Italia.

“The most important thing was the result, we got the three points, we absolutely must win the remaining two games.”

This result puts extra pressure on Milan ahead of tomorrow’s game with Atalanta, along with Roma as they take on Parma.

“It was all in our hands, if we win the remaining games, then there’s nothing anyone else can do about it. We know what is at stake, so we must go out there and win,” added Vlahovic.

The last two matches for Juve are against Fiorentina and Torino, two very bitter rivals.

The result puts Juventus temporarily in third place ahead of Milan, who play Atalanta tomorrow, and lets them break away from Roma in the race for a Champions League spot.

“We know we had to change some things from the last game,” Kelly told Sky Sport Italia.

“I think today we showed some resilience, especially in the last minutes, we need to see these games out and fight for each other, I think we did that today.

“We know the other teams have to play, but we can’t concentrate on them, we have to concentrate on us. We’re happy with the victory, now we can relax and then focus on the next two games.”
