Luciano Spalletti said he was satisfied after Juventus beat NEC Nijmegen 5-0 in the Europa League, with debutant Kamil Grabara keeping a clean sheet at the Allianz Stadium, Football Italia reported.
Spalletti praised Grabara’s composure and distribution, saying goalkeepers can act as an extra passing option in games like this. He also said Juventus could have been more compact defensively, but added that the tactical change was the right call given the way the match unfolded.
The coach also underlined the need for his side to adapt because of a limited squad, while cautioning against underestimating NEC despite their heavy defeat.
