The match with Juve, Cioffi: “Penalty or not, I just have to say good to the boys”

The coach also returns to the episode that caused discussion in the second half. “Exceptional attitude given the path from which we arrive”

«The penalty on Soppy? The feeling is that they had pulled him by the hair. There is a referee and an assistant at the Var, and if they haven’t seen him it means that there was no penalty, but I’ll have Soppy cut his hair, “he says. Gabriele Cioffi in Dazn, before the former referee Luca Marelli confirms from the study the withholding and the penalty that could have been there.

Cioffi chews bitter and passes on, indeed to the analysis of the performance, explaining what he has seen: «I am very satisfied, the guys have had an exceptional attitude given the path we are coming from and I have to thank the staff. If we weren’t brave it was because we were rusty, and we conceded an avoidable goal.

Until the goal I saw a team contracted and if you do a training in fifteen days with two finishes you are contracted in nature, but let’s go on. Rigor or non-rigor I just have to say good to the boys ».

From the study comes the question on how the new protocol linked to Covid management was accepted. “The new protocol? I welcome him as the old man and I take note of it. We try to do what we are told, there are roles and responsibilities to respect and the difficulty must be taken as proof and desire to improve and understand our strengths, and we have understood ours. And the job”.

Among the most anticipated protagonists was Paulo Dybala, much discussed before the challenge and then even more, after the lack of exultation and that defiant look launched towards the grandstand, explained as follows: «There was a friend of mine who I couldn’t find in the garage and who had had Covid. I have nothing to prove to anyone. The renewal? The club has decided that they will speak in February and March and I am at the coach’s disposal ».
