Gervinho felt Juventus tactics were to blame for Roma’s poor early performance. “There were no spaces.”
The 1-1 draw was decided by two set play situations, though the Giallorossi played considerably better after going down to 10 men.
“We were only able to find spaces at the end, when Juventus became a little stretched out. In order to attack, you need spaces,” Gervinho told Roma TV.

“Juventus are a strong side and very difficult to face. They know us very well, understand our qualities and made sure we couldn’t make the most of them.
“Juve played prudently, waited for us and there were no spaces for us. We ran into a very solid block in front of us.
“We were dangerous at the end when we poured forward with headers from Manolas and Keita, but it’s also fair to say Buffon had a relatively quiet night.”
The Ivorian was asked about his fitness levels after winning the African Cup of Nations last month.
“I feel good. I had a bit of trouble with fatigue as soon as I got back, but I am fine now.”
