Morata: ‘Parma made it difficult’

Match-winner Alvaro Morata praised Parma for their performance and admits it was “difficult” for Juventus.

The Coppa Italia quarter-final was only decided at the 89th minute at the Stadio Tardini.

“It was not easy, as Parma are a complicated team, especially on their own turf, but we deserved the win,” Morata told Rai Sport.

Match-winner Alvaro Morata praised Parma for their performance and admits it was “difficult” for Juventus.

The Coppa Italia quarter-final was only decided at the 89th minute at the Stadio Tardini.

“It was not easy, as Parma are a complicated team, especially on their own turf, but we deserved the win,” Morata told Rai Sport.

“Parma made it very difficult for us and I am sure that if they continue playing like this their season will go better.”

The Spaniard came on in place of Kingsley Coman, so formed a new partnership with Fernando Llorente.

“This is another tactical variation we have in this squad, as we can all play together in different permutations.

“We all give 100 per cent and work every day to ensure we can give our best. It doesn’t matter who plays as long as Juventus win.”

Juventus will face either Roma or Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

“We want to win everything – we are Juve and cannot get a single game or trophy wrong. I think we can win it all.”
