The second consecutive match Turin team fails to win against weaker opponents, but 'old lady' coach Antonio Conte remains calm and encourages to continue sweating in training and on the field.
Yesterday in Sicily, the "Juventus" and "Catania" teams shared a point in their match. The Turin team had to chase the hosts after Gonzalo Bergessio's goal.
The result was equalized in the second half by the guest goalkeeper Milos Krasic.
Conte is convinced that his team showed a strong character yesterday and continues to progress.
"I am happy with my boys' game. They proved on the field that they want to win, but let's keep in mind that there are currently stronger teams than ours. Nevertheless, our motto cannot change: work and work again," said the "Juventus" coach after the match.
Conte's team still holds the first place in the Serie A standings, but, according to him, they need to keep their feet on the ground and not talk about the 'Scudetto'.
In Catania, Conte decided to experiment with the starting lineup. Alessandro Matri played as the lone striker, followed by Arturo Vidal, while Milos Krasic and Eljero Elia took their places on the flanks.
"The players in my disposition give the opportunity to vary with different tactics and become less predictable. Changing formations is allowed by players like Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Claudio Marchisio, and also Luca Marrone and Michele Pazienza. During the match, aiming for victory, we returned to our usual tactics," said Conte.
Conte defended the defender Giorgio Chiellini, who played poorly in the match, after whose mistake "Catania" scored a goal.
"Bergessio moves excellently on the field and managed to pass through our defense. We will analyze the mistakes and try to find their reasons," stated Conte.
