Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny says the defeat to Verona is “embarrassing” and admits “the team struggle away from home.”
The Bianconeri lost 2-1 to the Gialloblu, despite going in front through a Cristiano Ronaldo goal, and it is their third away defeat of the season.
“It’s a defeat that hurts. Tomorrow we will have a meeting as usual after a game,” Szczesny told Sky Sport Italia.
Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny says the defeat to Verona is “embarrassing” and admits “the team struggle away from home.”
The Bianconeri lost 2-1 to the Gialloblu, despite going in front through a Cristiano Ronaldo goal, and it is their third away defeat of the season.
“It’s a defeat that hurts. Tomorrow we will have a meeting as usual after a game,” Szczesny told Sky Sport Italia.
“We paid because we weren’t careful at an important stage in the game, we need to understand what happened.
“Our motivation is still there, we are good at home, but on the road we have a bit of difficulty. I think it’s a mental aspect, it has to change immediately because it’s embarrassing that a team of this value leaves points on the road like this.”
Ronaldo scored for the 10th consecutive game, breaking David Trezeguet’s record set in 2005-06.
“Ronaldo is angry like all of us, he did everything to make us win,
“It’s difficult to explain because we didn’t concede two goals in moments of difficulty, they happened when we were controlling the game.
“I believe that we must also find the ability to sacrifice ourselves when defending the result, to suffer a little.
“When going ahead, it is normal for the opposing team to attack and it’s important not to concede.”
Juventus have lost three games in Serie A this season, all of them away from home.
“On the road we haven’t done well lately, we need to regain confidence and the ability to bring home results.”
Inter and Lazio could close the gap on the Bianconeri, with games in hand.
“There is always a concern when we lose games, but we continue to work, we are immediately thinking about the next game, in the Coppa Italia, and then to get back to the league.”
