Carnevali's comments come after Juventus loanee Adzic shocked the Old Lady with a late winner in the 94th minute, securing a 3-2 victory for Sassuolo. The defeat marks a setback for the Bianconeri, who had been looking to build on their strong start to the season. According to Football Italia, Carnevali told Radio Anch'io lo Sport, "If we look at the result, it's surely negative. We made mistakes a team like Juventus shouldn't make, even though we created some chances."
Carnevali also expressed his trust in Spalletti, who has picked two wins, one draw and one defeat in the opening four games of the season. The Juventus executive stated, "Changing coaches is not in my nature; we must try to program and build; we must give time and be patient, knowing that we will have to swallow some bitter pills." Spalletti remains under contract with the Serie A giants until June 2028.
Juventus will look to bounce back from their defeat when they host NEC in their Europa League debut this season on Thursday. Carnevali concluded, "We must seek maximum results: we still have much to do to compete for the Scudetto and the Europa League."
