Spalletti urges Juventus to improve decision-making in final third - Soccer News

We need to improve our choices in the box. We put the ball into dangerous areas many times, both in the first and second half, but we never found the right touch to redirect it. That's where we have to grow. We played a good match, a very good match. The result always makes the difference, of course, but there were clear steps forward in our performance. David is a penalty taker, and he takes them very well. He made the right choice, going down the middle; he just didn't lift it enough.
