Ferrara: "I Am Very angry By This Loss – We Should Have Controlled The Result"

When trying to measure his anger from 1 till 10 after the disappointing loss against Napoli, the Juventus coach had no doubt – his anger was at 11!

"I am very angry because this result could have an important effect on our league position. At this phase of the season, we should be stepping on the accelerator and improving our results. Instead, on the 2-0 for us we seem to have let go of the game – and this is not possible in Serie A against a team like Napoli".

"We suffered their speed because obviously something was not working in our game. We were not tight enough on the pitch and left too much space to our opponents".

Even when things started looking difficult for his team, Ciro Ferrara had only one result on his mind:

"I didn’t want to even draw this game. I wanted to win but we ended up losing. It is unexplainable how on the 2-0 for us we suffered our opponents’ game so much. You cannot leave so much space to players like Lavezzi and Hamsik. When you do leave so much space for opponents like that to play, our team ends up needing to run even more".

Ferrara feels that the team needs to forget this result and move on: "I had the impression that things were going badly when Napoli scored the 2-1, but in the future we need to be good enough to remain focused and determined even when in difficulty. Despite this loss, in the coming games we need to maintain our concentration and determination just as we needed to remain with our feet on the ground after the victory against Sampdoria".
