Juventus head coach Thiago Motta expressed deep disappointment following his team's exit from the Coppa Italia at home to Empoli. Despite leveling the score through Khephren Thuram after a poor first half, Juventus succumbed to a penalty shootout defeat, with Motta blaming a lack of understanding among players regarding the game's significance. He called for a renewed commitment in training while lamenting missed opportunities during the match. Empoli, who advanced to their first semi-final since 2006-07, are having a rough league season yet have excelled in the cup competitions.
Shame. I feel shame for what we saw in the first half and I hope my players feel the same. The attitude was shameful.
Now we have to start again, give everything in training, give everything to each other and respect the place and the history you are in.
