Sporting’s next Champions League rivals slammed by own coach: "The shirt weighs heavy" | OneFootball

Igor Tudor pointed out several flaws in Juventus after the defeat to Real Madrid, by 1-0, in the match corresponding to the third round of the Champions League group stage. The Turin team will be Sporting's next opponent in the prestigious competition - where the lions triumphed against Marseille.

"The boys are very disappointed", Igor Tudor began to explain, regarding the mood of his locker room after the defeat to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. It was the first defeat in the competition, after two draws in the initial rounds of the tournament.

The Juventus coach continued: "Everyone must be leaders. From that point of view, we are not yet at the level I would like to see. The Juventus jersey carries a lot of weight and we need to improve in that aspect. We created a new team and the presence of champions, who are usually in the locker room, is somewhat lacking."

"This team has its strengths and weaknesses. We have to believe because this is the right path. What didn't please me? We lack a bit of everything. However, I leave with confidence, although slightly annoyed by the defeat," concluded Igor Tudor, who has his Juventus in 25th position in the Champions League group stage.

Remember that Sporting and Juventus meet in the fourth round of the Champions League. The lions will travel to Turin on November 4th, but before that, they will still play against Tondela in the League, and against Alverca, twice (League Cup and championship).
