Evra: 'Happy and disappointed'

By Football Italia staff

Patrice Evra couldn’t entirely celebrate his debut Serie A goal, as Juventus were held 1-1 by Sampdoria.

“My goal would’ve counted for more if we had won,” the ex-Manchester United star told JTV.

“I am happy to have scored, but disappointed by the result, as we had the game in hand during the first half. If we’d scored another goal, it would’ve been over.

“We had talked before the game and wanted to start all guns blazing. At the end of the day we did it, but missed the second goal and paid for that in the second half.

“We are disappointed, but still top of the table and are focused on the next match. Juve must begin again as winners. We dropped two points and need to beat Cagliari next week.

“Juve have incredible character, so I have no doubts we’ll achieve our aims. I dedicate the goal to my sister Annette and fitness coach Marco Luison, who made me work hard when I was injured.”
