Juventus Coach Ciro Ferrara Pleased With 'Important Win' Against Maccabi Haifa
The coach has reflected on the game, and is happy with the outcome...
The Old Lady were saved by a fortunate goal from Mauro Camoranesi at the end of the first half. Juventus didn't play to their full potential. At times they were lacklustre, and way below par. Nevertheless, they held on despite a barrage of attacks from Maccabi. Juve are now second in their group, and the coach can see the glass half full.
"The group is smiling at us and there are still two matches left. We hope to go to Bordeaux to win and qualify with a game in hand," Ferrara told Sky Sport Italia.
"Clearly it was very important that we won tonight and after drawing with Bordeaux in the first game, we have never really stopped moving ahead.
"I noticed that the team had difficulty as we were not able to close the game such as the one against Napoli. But it was important to get the three points. We suffered, but we deserved the win."
