Grayson Bremer admits Juventus paid the price for a lack of sharpness after being held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce despite having dominated much of the game.
After full time, the Brazilian defender spoke to DAZN via TuttoJuve and expressed his disappointment at the way Juventus lost control of the game.

“Those are the games I’m most worried about,” Bremer said. “There were times when we relaxed and conceded a goal for no reason. When you dominate like that, you have to score immediately.”

Juventus created chances but struggled to convert the advantage into goals, which Bremer felt ultimately changed the momentum. “It took us too long to equalize,” he explained. “We created a lot, that’s true, but in the end we didn’t score and that’s what happened.”

Bremer reflects on Juventus struggles and backs David to succeed
Brehmer also addressed what he said was a recurring problem when Juventus were in the lead. “When we dominate, we start to think we can score at any time,” he said. “But that’s not what happened. One comeback, one turnover, like the one we made, and then they score. All of a sudden, the whole game changes.”
The defender also offered support to teammate Jonathan David, who was going through a difficult moment during the game. Bremer is keen to highlight the striker’s qualities and character. “He’s a good guy and a hard worker,” he said. “In training it’s always difficult for me to mark him because he has the movements of a strong player.”

Despite missing a penalty and experiencing unfortunate moments earlier in the game, Brehmer remained confident in the future of his teammates. “He was playing well before that,” he added. “He was unlucky, he hit the post and the ball fell into the hands of the goalkeeper. But he’s a great professional and I’m sure he’ll have a good future.”
Juventus will now look to react quickly as they reflect on a draw that felt like a missed opportunity.
