Montella: “I think we played well, but Higuain was the difference”

Vincenzo Montella spoke to Premium Sport after his side’s defeat at home to Juventus. Here’s what he had to say. 

On the match: “It was an odd match, Higuain was the difference with two great goals. For me the team played well, then we were a bit tired. In the end, their attackers were better.”

On the big games: “In the four big challenges, apart from 15 minutes against Lazio, we have always played at least equal. However, we must be more resolute and clinical.”

On the defence: “Today we had a good shape on both goals, but Higuain made the difference. You have to take the skill of your opponents into consideration.”


On the attack: “We came close to scoring several times. There aren’t many strikers of the same quality as Higuain.”

On the situation: “We have to react immediately and think about winning on Thursday against AEK Athens.”
