‘I’m happy with my performance' - Maduka Okoye claims he did well despite loss to Juventus

Juventus handed Udinese a 1-0 home loss in Serie A on Saturday night, ending their two-game unbeaten run.

Following the loss, Okoye acknowledged the quality of the Juventus team and the difficulty they face playing them.

While his team had opportunities to earn a positive result, they were ultimately undone by a formidable opponent.

Speaking to Udinese's official YouTube channel after the match, Okoye reflected on a hard-fought contest where a single goal was enough for Juventus to claim all three points.

Despite a battling performance, Udinese could not secure a draw. Okoye lamented the missed chance but was quick to credit the strength of the opposition.

"Today we had the opportunity to get at least a point, but Juventus is a very strong team," Okoye stated.

The 26-year-old shot-stopper also emphasised the need for his team to quickly shift their attention to their upcoming fixtures as they look to bounce back from the setback. "Now we have to focus on the next match," he added.

While Okoye was pleased with his own contributions during the game, he stressed that personal accolades are secondary to the team's success.

"I’m happy with my performance, but in the end, what matters is that the team gets points," he concluded.
