Juventus Women coach Giuseppe Zappella spoke after the Bianconere's 3-3 draw away at Inter in Serie A.
ZAPPELLA'S POST-MATCH COMMENTS
“There’s regret for the chances we wasted, and there were a lot. Other teams take a lot from games against us without creating much, but we create a lot and don’t take the points home with us.
“I’m happy that I saw what I asked the girls to do on the pitch, and their attitude was the right one. Now my job and the staff’s job is to restore the balance of the team. We suffer too often from counterattacks.
“[Joe] Echegini has been thrown into a completely new environment and a new reality for her, she found herself at Vinovo and with the most successful club in Italy, so she’s managed things well. She had a good impact when she came on, and we’ll look to get the most of what she can offer from here on.
“[Asia] Bragonzi is a strong centre-forward and I’m sure that she too would say that she can do more. But she has all my respect and you’ll see her on the pitch again, either from the start or from the bench. I want to make the most of the potential of this whole squad. Today she had a hard time against a good defence.
“I’m happy that the team is playing more directly and using the wings better, that was something we were lacking and of course there’s the fact that we concede too many goals - the staff and I will work to fix this.”
