Paolo Zanetti said Venezia’s 1-1 draw with Juventus was ‘a point worth its weight in gold’ and hopes Mattia Caldara won’t be recalled from his Milan loan.

The Lagunari had shown flashes of excellence recently, beating Roma 3-1, leading Verona 3-0 before a red card complicated their plans and they lost 4-3.

This evening, they held their own against Juve, Mattia Aramu cancelling out the Alvaro Morata opener.

“The side gave a response to a difficult moment, as we were coming off a real psychological hammer blow, but we played as a team and deserved the point,” Zanetti told DAZN.

“We had to make a lot of changes, so this was a point worth its weight in gold. We played open football, created chances, although as usual we have some issues in the final third.

“After going behind, we played a really strong 30 minutes and showed character to get it back on track.”

Mattia Caldara is on loan from Milan, so could he be sent back to San Siro in January to fill in for injured Simon Kjaer?

“I haven’t yet discussed it with him, that is more a media thing than anything else, Venezia have not received any calls yet. Naturally, he is a Milan player and it’s a prestigious club. He is also a leader at Venezia and is getting back to the player he was.

“We went to his house and convinced him to come here at a moment when few were ready to do that. I hope he remains at Venezia, but he is owned by Milan.”

Aramu got his fifth goal of the season, which is his debut Serie A campaign at the age of 26.

“He works so hard for the team, look at what he does off the ball and when we don’t have possession. It was one of his best performances for us, especially considering the quality of the opposition.”

One thought on “Zanetti: ‘Point with Juventus worth weight in gold’”
  1. Angelli has either fork money or remain out of European zone.
    He should get either sassoulo striker or the Fiorentina one.
    He should forget de Stefano area or Ronaldo in our time.
