Manuel Locatelli believes that it is better for Juventus will draw 0-0 against Milan at San Siro than 4-4 with Inter, because this thriller was more of a “roller coaster” than a tactical chess match.
The Bianconeri were decimated by injuries, including Dusan Vlahovic and Nico Gonzalez, and therefore had to use Teun Koopmeiners as an unorthodox false 9.
Nonetheless, they had more shots on goal and more shots on target than Milan at San Siro, as well as more possession.
“We moved well as a team and had the right attitude. » Locatelli told DAZN.
It was another draw at San Siro, but a very different experience to that the 4-4 thriller here against Inter last month.
“We all remember Inter-Juve, but it was a very strange match. It’s true that we didn’t manage to score today, but you have to look at the positive aspects.
“I realize that Inter-Juve was very exciting, but I think it is better to play with balance rather than experience a roller coaster.”
Locatelli wants ‘realistic’ reaction from Juventus
The situation was trickier for Juve given that they had no real striker available.
“Attackers decide matches and we had to compensate for that today, so we have to be realistic,” added Locatelli.
The former Milan midfielder was also captain tonight and partnered Khephren Thuram in the middle of the park.
“Khephren and his brother Marcus are two great guys, so we have to commend their parents for their upbringing. I think Juve have signed a great player who will help us for many years to come, but I also really like him as a person.
Juventus have now drawn seven of their 13 Serie A matches so far this season, and are therefore in a worse situation than at this stage last season, although they are still unbeaten domestically.
