'We are disappointed, we have regrets' – Juventus boss Spalletti rues Verona draw

Luciano Spalletti said Juventus are "disappointed and have regrets" following their 1-1 draw with already-relegated Hellas Verona.

The Bianconeri missed the chance to consolidate their top-four status in Serie A and move five points clear of fifth-place Como.

Juve fell behind at the Allianz Stadium to Kieron Bowie's first-half strike, while a Dusan Vlahovic free-kick after the break was only enough for a share of the spoils.

Juventus have now failed to win four of their last six Serie A home games against teams starting the matchday in the relegation zone (W2 D4).

Spalletti felt the hosts deserved to take all three points, but conceded they were far from their best.

"We must always evaluate what happens, analyse things, and then try to improve for the next matches, because those are the ones that matter now, seeing as we didn't win this one," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"Clearly, we are disappointed, we have regrets, and, unfortunately, this happens in football. We were not fortunate, and with a little more sharpness, we could've turned it around, even if you cannot always control everything.

"What we can do is stay clear-headed in the moments that matter, and we didn't do it. That is one of the qualities that makes a great player, because you can identify those moments where you've got to be fully concentrated.

"I thought we had started quite well, but then Verona locked it down, as is only right for them to do. We created some dangers, but couldn't break through the right way, then allowed them a few counter-attacks.

"We made mistakes that you see from kids. Then in the second half, you pin them back and have great moments of football that deserve to win a match. We played our game, and I think, overall, we did deserve to win it."

For the second time under Spalletti, Juventus have drawn two Serie A games in a row – the previous instance happened in November, against Torino and Fiorentina.

However, despite extending their unbeaten streak to nine games, they will be determined to get back to winning ways soon, with only three games of the season remaining.
