Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram faced the media after the defeat to Como, offering a determined yet realistic assessment of the team’s current situation. Despite the disappointment at the Allianz Stadium, Thuram insisted that morale remains intact and that the players are already focused on turning things around.
“We’re Angry but Focused on the Next”
“After this match, we are very angry because it was a great game to play and we lost,” Thuram admitted. “Wednesday will be completely different, and we must immediately focus on the next one. We need to play well and win.”
“Nothing Has Switched Off”
When asked whether the team’s momentum had faltered after recent defeats, Thuram was quick to reject that notion. “Nothing has switched off, and we mustn’t throw everything away,” he said firmly. “It’s true that we’ve lost the last two matches, but we have confidence, and we must continue to work.”
Supporters’ Frustration
The midfielder also responded to the whistles and frustration from the fans at full-time. “We’ll start again by working and improving where we’ve made mistakes,” Thuram explained. “We need to work to grow — both as individuals and as a team.”
Respect for Como
Finally, Thuram recognised the quality of their opponents, who stunned Juventus with a composed and disciplined performance. “We knew they were a team that plays very good football,” he noted. “They are a strong side with a coach who prepares matches very well.”
