Juventus defender Martin Caceres has told the Italian Press to ‘stop looking for controversy’ after the win over Napoli.
The Uruguayan defender scored at San Paolo to put the Bianconeri 2-1 up and set them on their way to an eventual 3-1 triumph. However, Napoli were adamant that the former Barcelona man was offside when he converted Andrea Pirlo’s cross.
“I don’t like looking at the Press,” Caceres insisted in an interview with Sky.
Juventus defender Martin Caceres has told the Italian Press to ‘stop looking for controversy’ after the win over Napoli.
The Uruguayan defender scored at San Paolo to put the Bianconeri 2-1 up and set them on their way to an eventual 3-1 triumph. However, Napoli were adamant that the former Barcelona man was offside when he converted Andrea Pirlo’s cross.
“I don’t like looking at the Press,” Caceres insisted in an interview with Sky.
“I like to talk about football, and the fact is that Juve deservedly won 3-1.
“Instead [of talking about that], they’re just trying to create controversy, but this has nothing to do with that game, we were better.
“I think you should talk about the team which deservedly won, rather than looking for controversy.
“It was a difficult game obviously, because after we went up 1-0 it was a quiet game, but then after the equaliser they could also have gone 2-1 up.
“It was good that after the last time [the Supercoppa, which saw Napoli equalise twice before winning on penalties], that didn’t happen.
“But to be honest after going up 2-1 and then 3-1 we were more confident, Juve played well and that’s all that matters.
“The intent is clear, every time we take to the field, we play at our maximum, and if I’m not mistaken this year we won at the San Paolo for the first time in 15 years which is very difficult as it’s always a tough place to go.
“The message is the same, every time you play you must do your best and play in the Juventus way.
“We’ve won a very important match 3-1, and it was fair.”
