Beppe Marotta warned Juventus mustn’t make changes into “an alibi” ahead of their trip to Manchester City.
The Bianconeri are having their worst ever start to a Serie A season with one point from three rounds, earned in a 1-1 draw with Chievo last night.
On Tuesday they start the Champions League campaign in Manchester, though Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Kwadwo Asamoah are out injured.
Beppe Marotta warned Juventus mustn’t make changes into “an alibi” ahead of their trip to Manchester City.

“Patience is one thing, but we mustn’t turn it into an alibi,” director general Marotta told Rai Sport.
“Our culture does not stand for alibis and we must take part in every competition with the objective of victory.
“I didn’t expect the season to start with so many difficulties, but I knew it would be tricky because this is a new team with new tactics.”
Max Allegri wrote on Twitter last night after the Chievo game that “to swim we must learn to keep our heads below water.”
Marotta was asked what he would say to the Coach after this stuttering start.
“I advise Allegri to not think about the success of the past. We will play Manchester City to win, as we always do. It’s Allegri’s job to make the team understand the Champions League has different requirements to Serie A.”
