Kwadwo Asamoah confirmed Juventus are ââ¬Åphysically not in great shapeâ⬠and lost their focus against Lyon.
The Bianconeri won 2-1 on the night, 3-1 on aggregate, to reach the Europa League semi-final.
ââ¬ÅIt was very important for us, as it wasnââ¬â¢t easy. We saw in tonightââ¬â¢s game that it was not simple against an opponent like Lyon, who played better than in the first leg,â⬠the Ghanaian told Sky Sport Italia.
ââ¬ÅWe were able to do some of the things we studied in training. The tempo lowered a little and we lost concentration on the corner, so thatââ¬â¢s where the game changed a bit.
ââ¬ÅWe kept our calm and moved the ball around patiently to keep possession, as physically weââ¬â¢re not in great shape, so we had to make the ball work for us.
ââ¬ÅWe are playing every three or four days, so itââ¬â¢s not easy.ââ¬
