According to reports, Juventus defeated Monza 2-0 in the 34th round of Serie A, temporarily moving up to fourth place, making the path for Igor Tudor’s squad to secure a Champions League spot smoother.

The Croatian coach of Juventus said in the post-match press conference: “We performed well in the first half and had good chances to score a third goal, but Yıldız’s red card completely changed the game.

The second half turned into a real battle, and we had to defend the result with everything we had. I like these kinds of games—ones that require toughness and effort. Even Nico had a chance to score a third goal.
This hard-fought victory is very valuable for the players’ growth.

They learn that even in difficult situations, they can fight and win. That’s why I really like this win. In football, tactics are important, but in the end, it’s duels, determination, and fighting spirit that decide the outcome. We try to instill this in the players every day.

Defeat Against Parma
The match against Parma is tough, perhaps even tougher than the game against Inter, and we try not to look for excuses. Our team still needs mental improvement.

For an experienced team, playing a few days after a heavy defeat isn’t difficult, but it’s different for other teams. I watched the Parma game again. We didn’t give them many opportunities and put a lot of pressure in the second half, but we had gaps in the final third. Every game has its own difficulties. Parma had gone five consecutive matches unbeaten, so perhaps playing against them is even harder than playing against Inter. The timing of matches is important, but the team must improve in every aspect.
