Douglas Luiz: Juventus should have played better

Juventus won 2-0 away at Lecce in Serie A to take three important points. The Turin side returned to winning ways after being beaten 3-0 by Lazio last week.

Juventus led 2-0 at half-time, but after Eusebio Di Francesco's tactical change at the break they came under much more pressure in the second half. Against the home side's rising tempo, the team struggled to control the game.

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia after the match, Douglas Luiz said he was happy with the win. He openly acknowledged, however, that the team had shortcomings. The Brazilian said they played well in the first half but eased off a little in the second.

Douglas Luiz scored his first goal for the club after joining Juventus from Aston Villa in summer 2024 for a fee of 50 million euros. It was also the first league match in which he both scored and assisted.

The player said he enjoys his position. Stressing the importance of three points away from home, Douglas Luiz added that the team can do better than this.
