Gigi Buffon compliments Roma on their 'great maturity' and admits 'Juventus would not have deserved the draw'.
The Giallorossi put themselves in a strong position by defeating their rivals 2-1 on the second day of the campionato, and the international goalkeeper was impressed.
“Roma are very strong and they improved,” he said after the game, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“But what pleased me the most was seeing their response after the penalty that was not called in the first few minutes.
“In other times they would have dwelled on that and complained, but here they came back to win the game.
“This is the sign of a team that matured greatly. They gained serenity and confidence in their means.
“A draw would have been undeserved, but our many injuries, especially in the midfield, are not an excuse.
“They played better, they showed daring and courage.
“We were too shy and we lost confidence after a few passes went wrong.
“You necessarily suffer the consequences when you sign many players who have a brilliant future but are still young. But we can and have to do more.
“We should have put up a better show.
“Now what we need is a greater sense of responsibility by everyone, because losing the first two games of Serie A is something that does not belong to Juve's history.
“If we show great responsibility and attachment to our colours starting from Monday, then I won't be worried.”
