Tudor: I prefer the last game to win 4-3, Juventus should get a penalty kick

In the first round of the Champions League held this morning, Juventus drew 4-4 with Dortmund at home. Juventus coach Tudor attended the post-match press conference.

Do you prefer the last Serie A game 4-3 or the 4-4 in this game?

I liked the last game more because we won at that time. But I like both games. Tonight we tried our best in the game, and the opponent was a strong team, which was not easy. I want to congratulate the players, they have done their best.

Juventus conceded 7 goals in two games. Are there any problems with you in defense?

I don't think this will happen again. We are facing two very strong teams, and it is difficult for me to explain the specific reasons, but I can understand the difficulties I will encounter when facing top teams.

Why did Vlahovic not start in this game? He made 2 shots and 1 pass after he came on the bench. We have discussed this topic before, and I have explained why. I see players in a very good spirit when they come out on the bench, which is a very important signal for the coach. The way the game ends is critical, and the players understand that.

What do you think of Kupmenas?

Why do you always ask me the same questions? I chose players who can help the team more at the moment, and that's part of my job. As for the next game against Verona, we will make another choice at that time, and I have to consider a lot of factors.

Juventus scored two goals in the stoppage time of the game. What do you think of this fighting spirit?

We have done this in the last two games. We won’t plan anything deliberately, but we will stick to the end. Only through training can we achieve results, not empty talk. It feels good, even though no one likes to throw so many balls. We are working hard, but I don't think there will be many games like the last two games, because Juventus has conceded very few goals all the time. It’s just that Inter Milan and Dortmund are very powerful.

The players in this game are very tired

If you play this game a week after the game against Inter Milan, this will not happen. During the break, I saw that the players were pale and they were already very tired, and our conceding was caused by fatigue. Shortly after Bremer returned after a long injury, Cambiaso missed several games before, and Ilditz was almost exhausted and was replaced in the midfield... The team lacked physical fitness and sprinting speed. In addition, the referee's penalty was also against us, and we should have received a penalty in the first half. I have to emphasize that because if we get that penalty and the opponent doesn't get that penalty from them, the result of the game could be that we win 4-2. The referee did not perform well tonight.

Juventus' attack line position is fierce, and it depends on the different games. Jonathan David will play more easily when we get closer to the opponent's goal. We will look at the future arrangements, and today we have made some special choices to let Jonathan David retreat a little, with Openda leading the way.

Can this team bring surprises?

I think the team has given everything, both the advantages and disadvantages have been shown. We must do our best to do our best, and we must not relax in order to achieve good results.
