Arrigo Sacchi belives that Roma 'are struggling with a thousand problems' and 'don't have the determination to win'.
After speaking about the dominance of Juventus, the 70-year-old moved on to talk about other Serie A sides, including the success enjoyed by Atalanta this term.
But what effect will a 3-1 defeat to Genoa have on the reigning champions?

After speaking about the dominance of Juventus, the 70-year-old moved on to talk about other Serie A sides, including the success enjoyed by Atalanta this term.
But what effect will a 3-1 defeat to Genoa have on the reigning champions?
"They too, are human," Sacchi continued in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport. "Maybe some criticism after Sevilla helped Genoa to be alert.
"Soon [Massimiliano] Allegri will have some players that have recovered from injury, and I do not think there will be major consequences as a result of the the slip-up."
"I repeat, Juve are only human. They are making strides to emulate my Milan, which was the best team of all.
"But the players are great professionals, they will rediscover their motivation in two days. Juve is too superior in everything: mindset and leadership. I do not see an opponent.
"Take Roma, who are struggling with a thousand problems: I read that the players went to speak with the ultras. Roma have ups and downs, they don’t have the fierce determination it takes to win.
"A bad thing is happening in this league: last season there was a break, but now we're back to the norm. Short defense, fast breaks, individuality. There were new things, it's different now.
"Napoli has a young group that is easily pleased and lacks a desire to win. I saw the match with Sassuolo: if Juve played well at Sassuolo they would get five goals.
"Sassuolo were one of the novelties of last season, but have made great steps from the lower divisions to Europe League and didn’t get the results they deserved.
"In addition to Sassuolo, there is Fiorentina and Roma, Pescara, Empoli and Sampdoria. They play without weight and with swagger, but do not exploit their opportunities.
"Atalanta? They produce great Italian football. The club has a competent management structure and a large youth sector.
"I hope that Atalanta is successful, however, one year is not enough: [Leonardo] Bonucci played at that level ten years ago.
"I hope that something good happens to young Atalanta, because I love Italian football and I always hope that we can overcome the past"
