Luciano Spalletti insisted that his Juventus side “need to do better” after their 2-0 win over Pisa.

Second-half goals from Pierre Kalulu and Kenan Yildiz downed Pisa, who struck the woodwork twice in their final match of the year.

Juventus have won back-to-back away games in the same season in all competitions for the first time since September-October 2024, while they have also won four consecutive matches in all competitions and three in Serie A.

And under Spalletti, Juve have picked up 17 points in eight games (W5 D2 L1), for an average of 2.1 points per match; the Bianconeri had collected 15 in their previous nine (W4 D3 L2) for an average of 1.7 per game.

However, the Italian head coach was not entirely satisfied with his side’s performance against Pisa, admitting that they rode their luck at times.

“Our tempo was slow, the last 6-7 minutes and first 6-7 minutes of the second half were bad, as Pisa caused problems with their intensity and we were fortunate in those situations,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“In the second half, we had more quality, were more inventive, [Edon] Zhegrova and [Jonathan] David did well, giving us more quality in the final third. We were able to score and at that moment of the game I felt it was deserved, as we were creating spaces in the box.

“We ought to do better and we need to do better.

“I thought Pisa played very well and it was similar to their defeat against Inter, who suffered here for 70 minutes. Pisa are not fortunate at the moment.

“Our problem is that we are a strong team, but we’ve got to prove it every time we step onto the pitch, and we were below par in too many ways during the first half.”
