Spalletti ironically with the journalist live on Sky: "Don't cry". The answer: "Don't even think about it"

Before addressing the tactical and technical aspects of the Sassuolo-Juventus match on television, Luciano Spalletti had a surprise encounter with Sky journalist Giovanni Guardalà. The black and white coach, obviously frustrated by his team's defeat, addressed his interlocutor in a special way, who, before handing over the connection to the studio, had begun his intervention by highlighting the difficulty in analyzing a match that became chaotic in the second half.

Spalletti interrupts Sky journalist after Sassuolo-Juventus

"I don't know how to analyze this match, I would start...". That's how Guardalà began his intervention, who was however interrupted by a somewhat controversial Spalletti: "Don't cry, don't cry". Most likely the coach did not like the attitude of the journalist, who was delicately trying to understand what had gone wrong in Juventus' evening. The Sky journalist, surprised, immediately replied: "I'm not crying, don't think I'm crying. I'm asking questions".

Guardalà, reaction and embarrassment in the studio

A completely unexpected situation, since it didn't seem like we were witnessing anything special other than the classic post-match interview. If Spalletti, almost surprised himself by the journalist's answer, whispered an "I understand", Guardalà tried to do his job: "Can I do it? Can I start? Inevitably we have to talk about the two goals conceded, which I think have angered you a lot". And from that moment on everything continued normally, while the coach, moreover, did not seem particularly disappointed by the result. The two goals conceded, in fact, from his point of view, are the picture of a colossal loss of balance of his team, justified however by the desire "to overturn a match" that had gone astray.

Match analysis by the black and white coach

Thus Luciano Spalletti returned "calm" in explaining the 3-2 defeat suffered at the Mapei Stadium, which was also due to the inability to concretize the work done. One thing is certain and he knows it well: "Juventus cannot leave so many free spaces, that is clear". However, this happened to seek the opportunity to win the match, which had really existed, and according to him this desire was the most difficult thing to do at that moment, compared to the attempt to defend the result. A rather special analysis, considering that then came a painful defeat and goals that could have clearly been avoided, but for Spalletti it is not the time to "cry", and he also told Guardalà. A sign of nervousness, but also abroad, that betrays dissatisfaction for a clearly negative match and for a start to the season below expectations.
