Giorgio Chiellini insists Juventus put in a “good” performance against Atletico Madrid and are ready for Roma.
The Bianconeri were beaten 1-0 in the Champions League last night, despite keeping 62 per cent possession at the Vicente Calderon.
“Fundamentally the negative result remains, but I think Juve put in a good performance against Atletico,” Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia.
“We expected them to take that attitude and tried to ensure they created as few chances as possible, controlling the ball, not allowing counter-attacks and trying to find spaces between the lines.
“In my view it was the performance of a great team and if it had ended in a draw then nobody could’ve complained.”
That was the first goal Juventus have conceded all season and on Sunday they host joint Serie A leaders Roma.
“It will be an important game, as the two strongest teams in Italy are going to face off. Roma are not just Francesco Totti, as they have important players all through the squad and we have the utmost respect for them.
“It is going to be difficult and important, but not decisive, because we are just at the start of the season.
“We want to do well and expect a very balanced game where incidents will be decisive.”
Roma were also in action this week in the Champions League, earning a 1-1 draw away to Manchester City.
