Paulo Dybala insists he and his teammates must ‘remember we are Juventus and we must respect this shirt’ after a 2-1 defeat to Hellas Verona.
The Bianconeri suffered a second consecutive 2-1 loss to a mid-table side, after the midweek round against Sassuolo, as Cholito Simeone bagged a brace in the opening 14 minutes.
Weston McKennie’s strike into the roof of the net was not enough to turn it around.
“Verona scored two goals very early, but it’s also true that they were sharper than us, winning many tackles and duels,” Dybala told JTV.
“At that point, we tried to score in any way we could, but we cannot afford to just gift the opposition a half of football.
“We must remember we are Juventus and we must respect this shirt, its history and the great champions who wore it in the past.”
The Old Lady have just one point from the last three rounds, leaving them on 15 points from 11 games, so they could conclude the weekend already 16 points off the leaders.
Dybala was asked how Juve can possibly drag themselves out of this situation?
“We do it together. Each of us, before going to sleep tonight, must think about this game and how we can all give something more. We’ve got to learn the lesson, be humble and immediately focus on Tuesday in the Champions League.
“Those who play at Juve cannot be afraid.”

Juve keep spending mindlessly, FORZA SSC NAPOLI
Its easy Juve need to play at a high tempo for the full 90 minutes,
And not start games like scared chickens
He should be the last person to talk. He wants more money but again fails to take the bull by the horns and is always coming from too deep a position. He had one amazing night against Barca and that was it. Sell him, the squad and begin again. Chiesa is leaving, as without CL cuts will be made. 10 years like Inter into the abyss they will enter.
The quality Juve have, yet the play they show is opposite…
Dybala, please leave – your time is over!
He should lead by example and put the ball in the back of the net.
Nate, if Dybala only had one amazing night against Barca, why did he win the Serie A MVP two seasons ago? Dybala is the least of Juve’s problems right now.
I hate that word. It’s way overused by the Juve players and Allegri over the years.
Winning? We need humility.
Losing? We need humility.
How about you find your form? The lot of you.
