Ivan Juric explained the aggressive Genoa approach to sweep Juventus aside. “It’s all about deciding how you want to die…”
The Grifone had already beaten Milan here 3-0 and held Napoli to a draw, but the first half performance in particular utterly dominated the Serie A leaders.
“We were coming off a bad performance and didn’t want to change our attitude,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia after a 3-1 victory.

The Grifone had already beaten Milan here 3-0 and held Napoli to a draw, but the first half performance in particular utterly dominated the Serie A leaders.
“We were coming off a bad performance and didn’t want to change our attitude,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia after a 3-1 victory.
“We did well to be clinical, determined, aggressive and get the maximum points. We are working hard with Giovanni Simeone, as he can improve in many areas, but it’s a pleasure to train him because he always stays for extra training and has great instinct in the box.”
Juve used an odd version of the 3-5-2 system with Stephan Lichtsteiner in defence and were repeatedly caught out by rapid Genoa moves.
“There have been dropped points this season and that causes regrets. Today things just seemed to be going our way, as we usually have to work a lot harder to score three goals.
“When you’re facing a side like Juventus, it’s all about ‘deciding how you want to die’. If you sit back then sooner or later they will score, just as Miralem Pjanic did, while if you are very aggressive and run at them, you’ve got a chance.
“I want to give the credit to my lads rather than say it was a bad Juventus performance.”
