"The foundation of the strongest clubs is flawless defense, and today we demonstrated just that. We showed considerable patience by not attacking the opponents fiercely, who could have taken advantage of the spaces left behind."
Next, "Juventus" will play away against the "Cagliari" team in the "Serie A" match. A victory would secure an 11-game winning streak, which would be a record for the club.
