Kupmenas: I feel comfortable at the back position and can contribute to the team

In the 11th round of Serie A, Juventus drew 0-0 with Turin at home. Kupmenas served as Juventus defender for this campaign. He accepted interviews with the media after the game.

Did the opponent perform too well, or were some of your tactical coordination not smooth enough?

The coach asked us to attack around Vlahovich, and the opponent adopted man-to-man defense. We took advantage of the space behind their defender, but the offensive details in the final stage were not handled well enough.

Does the coach require you to participate in off-ball movements while organizing offense in the backcourt?

The coach asked me to organize the offense in the backcourt, but also allowed me to advance into the midfield area. If the defender goes forward, it will put a lot of pressure on the opponent. I am suitable for this position and can help the team.

How do you feel in this position?

I feel very comfortable in this position. I can contribute to the team with my own characteristics. I hope to touch the ball more in the game and promote the offense. This position allows me to do this.
