After the second half of Juventus-Milan, a match valid for the 3rd round of the 2026-2027 Serie A championship that was played at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, and after the final whistle by referee Maurizio Mariani, Manuel Locatelli, a Juventus player, spoke at the press conference. Here are his words.

If there is disappointment: "We deserved to win. They made that shot on which they scored the goal, but our reaction was very important. Those who came on did very well and this is a sign of the group's strength".

How he saw the new signings: "They are doing well. But it is up to us to help them and get them into condition. As it was today: those who come on must give us a hand".

Why they always concede goals from the first shot on goal: "I explain it because today we made a mistake, I have to review it. Cisse should not have kicked like that. But it is more important to talk about the reaction we had afterwards".

If the league table is already taking shape: "There are many strong teams, but we must believe in our qualities, gaining more awareness. We have a strong squad, but we must not be presumptuous".

What was said with Modric at the end of the game: "I asked him how his cheekbone was, but we had already spoken by message. We talked a bit. It is a pride and an honor to know him and play against him, because he is a champion. These are the examples to follow".

How you saw Alajbegovic: "He is a strong player who must have the opportunity to grow. He made himself available, he is humble. But we must not put too much responsibility on him: he must be free to do what he knows how to do".
