Spalletti did not fall short/ Juve star's threat: he should be angry with himself

Luciano Spalletti is not happy with the behavior of Francisco Conceição after the substitution.

According to "Varesh Three", Juventus managed to win in the second week of the Europa League group stage with a result of 1-2 against Celta Vigo. The game in Vigo had two different halves, Juventus was slow and inactive before the break between the two halves and fell behind the opponent in the 18th minute with Hugo Alvarez's goal, which was the result of a team move.

But in the second half, the situation was completely different and Juventus turned the game around. Nick Voltmade made the most of Marcos Alonso's mistake and scored the equalizing goal. Then, in stoppage time, Juventus substitute Randal Columani opened the scoring with a header from Andrea Cambiasso's cross from the second post.

Sky Sports Italia's sideline reporter noted that the winning goal came about 20 seconds after Spalletti told Voldemort to move to the wings and put Kolo Moani in the center of attack. Spalletti told Sky Sports Italia: "Colo Moani had too much of a winger role for himself, while the space on the flanks was supposed to be left empty for Cambiasso. However, at some moments we couldn't keep the ball and because of that, they regularly found a free player in the center of the pitch.

They made us run after them and we used a lot of energy. In the end, Woltmade was a little tired, while Kolo Mwani could be impressive in one-on-one situations. "He's a strong player, so I switched them, but at the end of the day it's the forwards who make the difference with their decisions on the pitch."

The Juventus coach was not satisfied with his team's performance in the first half and asked the players to circulate the ball faster: "In the first half, we were a little slow in almost everything and that allowed Celta to reorganize. When we got the ball back, we were too slow on the counter-attack and when we lost the ball, we were slow to press and win it back. Our performance against Cagliari was much better in every way; Both in terms of concentration and stability and intensity of the game. "Today we were too slow in all phases of the game."

There were also tensions on the side of the field. When Francisco Conceição was substituted, he went straight to the dressing room without sitting on the bench. Was he angry at himself or at being replaced? "He'd better be mad at himself," Spalletti replied, "or we can talk about it later."

If he has anything to say, I think he must be unhappy with his performance. In addition, he left the field in the 70th minute and we have another game in a few days. If he has behaved like that, even though the members of my technical staff have told me that he has not, he should explain to us what he thinks and we will try to resolve the matter."

There is a remarkable statistic about Juventus, who have not come from behind to win a game since their 2-1 win against Cagliari in November 2025. Spalletti added: "We had chances and Celta had chances, but at times we didn't have the necessary organization and we gave the opposition spaces that they could use to hit us. At the same time, I like that these players are willing to take risks to win. In modern football, you have to take risks. "It could be a result similar to the game against Sassuolo where we lost, but you have to take risks."
