Luciano Spalletti insists Juventus put in 'a great performance' for the 2-0 victory over Parma, despite jeers and criticism from fans and media, but admits they need a new midfielder.
The Bianconeri had a frustrating first half and were jeered by the crowd, particularly Jonathan David after his substitution, but the changes off the bench proved pivotal.

Specifically, Nico Gonzalez made an immediate impact by forcing a save, hitting the upright and then scoring on the rebound, while his high press also created the circumstances for another substitute to score late on in Teun Koopmeiners.
Spalletti had only said yesterday in his press conference that Nico Gonzalez was a player who always delivers wherever you put him, and that proved prescient.
