'We need to do better' - Spalletti stays grounded despite Juventus win - Soccer News
"Our tempo was slow, the last 6-7 minutes and first 6-7 minutes of the second half were bad, as Pisa caused problems with their intensity and we were fortunate in those situations. In the second half, we had more quality, were more inventive, [Edon] Zhegrova and [Jonathan] David did well, giving us more quality in the final third. We were able to score and at that moment of the game I felt it was deserved, as we were creating spaces in the box."
"We ought to do better and we need to do better. I thought Pisa played very well and it was similar to their defeat against Inter, who suffered here for 70 minutes. Pisa are not fortunate at the moment. Our problem is that we are a strong team, but we've got to prove it every time we step onto the pitch, and we were below par in too many ways during the first half."
Juventus defeated Pisa 2-0 with second-half goals from Pierre Kalulu and Kenan Yildiz. Pisa struck the woodwork twice and caused problems with intensity at times. Juventus achieved consecutive away wins in a season for the first time since September–October 2024, extended to four straight wins across competitions and three in Serie A. Under Luciano Spalletti, Juventus have 17 points from eight games (W5 D2 L1), averaging 2.1 points per match, up from 15 in nine prior matches. Spalletti criticised the slow tempo, praised second-half inventiveness, and insisted the team must improve consistency.
