The Bianconeri have eight fewer points than at this stage last season, having drawn half their 12 Serie A games.

“I think our performances have been improving week by week, as even against a very international team like Atalanta, we had many chances and were left with regrets at not winning.

“As for the points, we have to count them all at the end of the season, not now,” Paratici told DAZN.

Is it true that Juve are too reliant on Alvaro Morata and Cristiano Ronaldo for their goals?

“We don’t just play for the two strikers, as many players push up and take part in the attack. We have a very competitive squad, showed that in the Champions League, and are trying to grow game by game, playing good football and getting stronger.”

Dybala is not at the Stadio Tardini due to an injury, continuing his stop-start campaign, as well as the on-going contract dispute.

“Dybala has this muscular issue, it was nothing major, but meant he couldn’t come here with us. He had an injury against Lyon in August too, so it took him a while to get into shape and we’ll enjoy him to the full soon enough.

“The President was very clear. Every day throughout the year we have to deal with transfer stories, so we are accustomed to this speculation.”
