Juventus coach Igor Tudor apologised to his players as soon as he entered the locker room after bringing on Francisco Conceicao and Vasilije Adzic from the bench but decided to sub them just before Lazio equalised 1-1 in stoppage time. Conceicao
was brought on at half-time, with Adzic coming on in the 76th minute with Juventus outnumbered by a red card for Pierre Kalulu while maintaining their lead.
However, Tudor took off both Conceicao and Adzic in the 86th minute. And replaced them with Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Gatti.
“I changed the substitutes I sent on. I apologised to them as soon as I entered the locker room,” Tudor said after the game at the Stadio Olimpico.
“It doesn’t happen often. I don’t like to do it, but it was necessary. Because we need experienced and tall players to help the team at the end. “
Conceicao is having the best game since I have been in charge of the team. I admit it was a strange decision. But if I can go back, I will do it again. “
Tudor’s game plan almost succeeded but in the 90+6th minute of stoppage time, เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย Matias Vecino took advantage of the chaos to equalize for the “Roman Eagles”.
“It was a great game, I am sorry that we dropped two points at the end,” Tudor continued. The result still ranks fourth, level on points with Lazio, the last team.
“The team gave everything. Despite the situation where many players were missing, we still have two games left and we go into the game with confidence. “
The disappointment is that we had to play with 10 men for two games in a row. I don’t know how much Kalulu touched the opponent, but he should not have done that. “
It was naive. Kalulu is a good guy who gets too emotional. He was disappointed and surprised by the red card, but we accept it. Hopefully he will only be suspended for one game.”
