Salernitana defender Federico Fazio acknowledged the difficult task they faced tonight against Juventus and attributed the difficulty to the superior quality of the Bianconeri.
Unlike their previous cup match, where Salernitana suffered a 6-1 defeat, this match turned out to be a much closer duel between the two teams. Despite falling behind, Juventus had to make a considerable effort to take the victory and maintain their position near the top of the Serie A table, very close to Inter Milan.
The match presented a more formidable challenge for Juventus compared to their previous decisive victory, and Salernitana may feel they could have achieved a different result if not for the red card they received.
After the match, Federico Fazio, Salernitana defender, openly admitted that Juventus demonstrated significant superiority over them in the match.
He said, quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
‘I think they are very good, we had to do something more, we had to be smarter. We play with one less and we lack cunning. In a match like today, between African Cup and injuries, there are few players available, which makes the difference on the field of play. “We do everything we can to take the points home, but it’s difficult to keep going like this.”
Juve FC says
Salernitana played better than in the cup match and deserves credit for making this match more difficult for us.
However, they were simply no match for us, and if we hadn’t been able to win that match, it would have been difficult to justify it.
