We are in for a difficult season - Juventus coach Luigi Del Neri

The former Sampdoria boss believed the Bianconeri had turned the corner following their strong showing in the 4-0 win over Udinese last weekend.

"We all know it is going to be a difficult season. I thought we had resolved our problems, but we haven't," Del Neri told Sky post-match. "We will start again, and will work hard during training.

"The victory in Udine was meant to give us some security, but it obviously didn't. The side has paid the price for not being attentive enough. We must be more decisive with what we do on the pitch.

"I am sorry for the fans who supported us throughout the match, but the side needs to work harder in order to satisfy them. We need to be determined in defence. Whatever goals can be avoided will be. The team also needs to be more physical," he concluded.
