October 22, 2026Pablo Navarro2 мин

Juventus needs to bounce back immediately, leaving behind the shadow of the loss to Lazio and rediscovering the solidity that has been lacking in crucial moments. The day before the match against Rennes, Spalletti offered no shortcuts or excuses, admitting difficulties and urging the team to dig deeper. The coach then revealed how a meeting with the players unfolded and its outcome. The most anticipated news concerns the attack: Kolo Muani and Woltemade will both start against Rennes in a match that represents more than just a chance for redemption. On the other side, an ambitious team awaits, led by top scorer Lepaul and ready to play openly. Kolo Muani himself emphasized the importance of an immediate reaction; Juventus wants to restart, regain confidence, and secure a third victory. Now, however, concrete on-field responses are needed.

Juve-Rennes, Spalletti's Conference

"We who do this job are somewhat children of results, and I've learned to be balanced. What makes us happy is winning matches. Unfortunately, we're behind now and haven't achieved the results we wanted. We need to dig deep," Spalletti began his press conference. Regarding Juventus often conceding the first goal and being forced to chase the game: "There's no precise reason. The recipe can't always be the same; match conditions vary depending on the opponent. You need to know how to react based on the necessities you encounter during the game. I don't think it depends on a single attitude, but on our overall reaction. We need to better handle the consequences of the opponent's proposals, both when pressing and when deciding to stay back." He continued: "The team is on my side? Yes, in the last meeting, I let them speak and tried to gather as much information as possible to help them. I confirmed their honesty and seriousness; everyone was very willing to incorporate more elements into the game, introducing variables that can bring us back to our maximum level."
