The Juventus manager's comments following the victory over Udinese.Juventus beat Udinese 1-0 and return to fourth place, at least for one night, pending the result of the match between Como and Roma.Speaking to Sky Sport after the match, manager Luciano Spalletti commented on the game’s progress and the final victory: “We did really well, maintaining the intensity needed to wrap it up as soon as possible. We actually managed to do so, but that’s fine; we were up against a really strong side.”A few words too on the role of his strikers today: "Boga – I’d never put him there before. I’ve always seen him play on the left, and he’s done well up front. Yildiz isn’t entirely comfortable as a striker; he hasn’t yet mastered the art of dealing with the man marking him from behind."During the post-match analysis on Sky Sport, pundit Marocchi asked: "Cambiaso is always all over the pitch. Does he cause more problems for the opposition or for the manager?" Spalletti replied: "If he doesn’t run all over the pitch, he won’t play anymore. If he listens to you, he won’t play anymore. It’s in his best interests to run all over the pitch, because he’s good at playing as a midfielder."Finally, a clean sheet again: "I saw the improvement when we kept possession for longer. It’s about maintaining that possession – it shouldn’t be a superficial exercise, but a means of carving out space to create chances. We need to be good at taking risks, but they must be carefully assessed. And tonight we were perfect."Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingAll the latest updates in real time! Join the CALCIOMERCATO.COM WhatsApp channel: click here
