Palermo coach Giuseppe Iachini was impressed by Juventus and Alvaro Morata after his side fell 1-0 at to the Bianconeri at Stadio Renzo Barbera on Saturday evening in Serie A.
The match had been a close affair with very few chances for both sides and looked destined to be a draw until Morata replaced Fernando Llorente on the hour mark and produced a fantastic goal to win the game.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia after the game, Iachini was full of praise for the young Spaniard.
“I always ask my players to close the space on players, Andelkovic closed off the right, but Morata moved to the left. With great players there’s sometimes little that you can do,” he said.
“It’s a shame we conceded at that time, because the game was open on both sides. But in football there are moments of individual brilliance which make a difference.”
The 50-year-old also reserved a special mention for Massimiliano Allegri’s strong team selection despite having an important Champions League second leg against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
“Everyone said that Juventus would come and play their reserves here today, but they arrived with a full team.”
“This speaks volumes about the strength of the team, they have great organisation and quality and they will have every chance of beating Dortmund on Wednesday.”
