Giorgio Chiellini believes that Juventus’ strong start to the season is a sign that even they have identified room in which to improve.
The three-time consecutive League champions have begun the season with two wins from two and notably have restricted opponents to just a single shot on target.
At today’s Press conference ahead of facing Malmo in the Champions League tomorrow night, Chiellini was asked what had changed.
“I believe the Coach can also confirm this, but we are working to try to reduce the errors to a minimum,” Chiellini has responded.
“Because even if we have won the Scudetto three years in a row it does not mean to say that we are perfect. Indeed, there is always so much to improve, both individually and as a team.
“We were really very good, we have played two first halves brilliantly, with incredible intensity, where the only flaw was to be winning by the single goal, because we should have deserved at least two.
“We must continue in this way. Certainly every Coach puts at their team’s disposal their knowledge, their own style, so there’s already been some adjustments and we are trying to do as much as possible what the Coach asks of us.
“The important thing is to continue with this defensive solidity because it has been proven over the years mainly in Italy, but also in Europe, that if we do not concede goals, then we are a team that has a thousand weapons to unlock games.
“We just have to keep working in this way and we will have a lot of satisfaction.”
In considering the team’s potentially changed mental approach to the Champions League, Chiellini was asked if there was a willingness to sacrifice a fourth Scudetto in exchange for lifting the European Cup.
“I think it would be foolish to sacrifice anything. Real Madrid went more than 10 years waiting for to experience this glory again, with investments of €100m a player.
“So we are thinking match by match to win what we can win. Hopefully we can win more for many years to come, but I do not think we need to make sacrifices in order to win.”
