Empoli manager Paolo Zanetti has spoken out about his team’s 4-0 loss to Juventus and revealed that he is not happy with their collapse.
The Bianconeri beat the Blues in one of their best performances since the start of the season and gave their fans something to enjoy this weekend.
However, their opponents went home empty-handed thanks to goals from Moise Kean, Weston McKennie and a brace from Adrien Rabiot, which gave the Bianconeri victory.
Empoli had won at the Allianz Stadium last season and was keen to replicate that result in this match.
However, it never happened and Zanetti said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“For 55 minutes we played a game of courage, putting what we do on the pitch. Then we disappeared from the field and this makes me angry. We disunited and suffered a goal. This must hurt us a lot. Against this type of team you don’t think of having who knows how many chances, in the first half we did well but we had to stay in the game until the end. two corner kick goals cut off our legs.”
Juve FC says
Beating Empoli was one of the best results we’ve had in a long time and we need to keep the momentum going by securing another win against Benfica in midweek.
Our position in the Champions League now means that game is a must for us.
Beating the Portuguese side will boost our players’ confidence ahead of the final group stage game against PSG.
