Spalletti felt Kelly should have stayed closer to his direct opponent to limit his chances of hurting the Bianconeri.

“You play for 20 meters [far]but you have to go at five meters,” Spalletti said.

“[This way] I can play too.”

Kelly, 27, has been a regular starter at Juventus this season, making 42 appearances across all competitions at the Allianz Stadium.
