Stephan Lichtsteiner warns “it won’t be easy” for Juventus against Atalanta – “they play good football”.
The Bianconeri have a three-point lead at the top of Serie A after 16 wins in 17 games, but the Swiss international isn’t expecting a comfortable trip to Bergamo.
“It won’t be easy,” Lichtsteiner cautioned in an interview with JTV.
“Atalanta play good football, they’re aggressive and they have good players. We’re expecting a tough game.

The Bianconeri have a three-point lead at the top of Serie A after 16 wins in 17 games, but the Swiss international isn’t expecting a comfortable trip to Bergamo.
“It won’t be easy,” Lichtsteiner cautioned in an interview with JTV.
“Atalanta play good football, they’re aggressive and they have good players. We’re expecting a tough game.
“Our gap to Napoli is only three points, we’ve recovered well in recent months but there’s still a long way to go.”
Champions League opponents Bayern Munich lost 2-1 at home to Mainz yesterday, but Lichtsteiner doesn’t think it’s important ahead of the return leg on March 16.
“I saw the stats, they had a lot of possession of the ball and shot many times. I don’t think their defeat is significant.
“I’ll be tough for us in Munich, but we’re confident.”
Finally, the former Lazio man analysed last night’s Coppa Italia second leg with Inter, with the Old Lady advancing on penalties after a 3-0 defeat.
“We struggled,” Lichtsteiner admitted, with the Turin giants having held a 3-0 lead after the first leg.
“But it’s important for us to know that we’ve achieved qualification for the final, that’s the good news from yesterday.”
