Daniele Rugani was “delighted with my first goal” against Cagliari and backed Juventus to use their 4-0 win as “a starting point” for a successful season.
Rugani scored his first goal in Juve colours on Wednesday as the Bianconeri returned to the Serie A summit, but the defender refused to take even part of the credit for the victory, instead praising his teammates for their collective work in stifling the Sardinians.
“I’m delighted for my first goal, the win and many other reasons,” he told JTV.

“I’m delighted for my first goal, the win and many other reasons,” he told JTV.
“It was a lovely evening, it was important to start well after a defeat. Now we turn the page and think about the next one.
“We risked little, this was also important, to be solid and grant [our opponents] little.
“Still, the credit doesn’t just belong to us defenders but the whole team.
“When there’s a desire to sacrifice, run and give a hand, it’s not easy for your opponents.
“This should be a starting point. It helps to have good defenders, but you need the whole team to have a beautiful defensive base.”
