Fernando Llorente admits he’s “a little too isolated” in the box with this new Juventus system after a 0-0 with Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish striker needed treatment during the match for a nasty cut to the bridge of his nose.
“It’s just a cut, I’m fine, nothing broken. A little bit uglier maybe!” he told Sky Sport Italia.

The Spanish striker needed treatment during the match for a nasty cut to the bridge of his nose.
“It’s just a cut, I’m fine, nothing broken. A little bit uglier maybe!” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“It’s the dream for every player to be in a game like this. Any of the teams we face in the next round will be the same for us, they are all tough at this stage.
“We are a very difficult opponent for anyone we come up against, so we can beat anybody.”
Llorente struggled to get some of his trademark headers this evening.
“Atletico are so strong in the air and I didn’t perhaps move the right way to shake off the marking. Am I a little too isolated in the box? At times, as Tevez goes out to get the ball, but we did well in the first half and I remember a great Pogba assist that I was so close to turning in.
“It is very important to play as a first team pick for Juventus. I try to give everything in each game and prove I can help the team any way I can.”
