Simone Braglia insists Juventus played well against Atalanta

Juventus were beaten by Atalanta in the Italian Cup midweek, and many observers believe the team did not perform well because of the scoreline. Since Luciano Spalletti became the Bianconeri manager, there have been very few matches in which the Old Lady has underperformed.

The gaffer has turned Juventus into one of the most competitive teams in the league over recent weeks, which has strengthened the club’s desire to retain him as their coach on a long-term basis. This season has not been straightforward for Juve, but progress under the current management is evident.

Juventus’ Performance Against Atalanta

Although Atalanta won convincingly, it would be inaccurate to suggest that Juventus did not play well. The primary reason for the defeat was the team’s inability to convert its chances. La Dea, on the other hand, were clinical in taking their opportunities, which secured their victory and progression in the competition.

So far, Juventus have performed admirably in most matches, and according to Simone Braglia, they were also in good form during the encounter with Atalanta. He commented via Tuttojuve, “Juve played the game; they just lacked the final thrust. Juve had more chances. Then the highly questionable penalty awarded to Atalanta, and the decision by those who don’t know the players’ movements, condemned Juve. I liked the team’s identity and the way they played. I don’t see all this defeatism. The problem is that they still lack a bit of character.”
