The Bianconeri defender insists that the missed chances in the game made the Lazio match unnecessarily difficult for the team; thanks Del Piero for the late winner.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giorgio-Chiellini-c14963 has urged his team to earn an early lead in the remaining matches, and believes that the team cannot rely on veterans to bail them out all the time in the Scudetto race with AC Milan.
The Bianconeri defender believes that Juve made the match too difficult for themselves by missing the crucial scoring opportunities in the match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775. The game seemed to be headed towards another dismal stalemate for the Old Lady, but the late winner
from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726 won the match for the club, and restored them at the top of the league standings.
The Turin guard insisted that the team needs to be more vigilant about taking its opportunities in the game, and should not let the game drift towards a draw. He believes that the team should have been two goals ahead at the end of first half, but let the
opposition back into the game with an equaliser.
The Bianconeri player stated that a goal in the final minutes of the game has been a blessing, as it is very difficult to get a ball away in the oppositions net with time running out.
While talking to the press, the Juventus centre back said:
"We made life difficult for ourselves. At the end of the first half, we should have been two goals in front, but instead we conceded Lazio’s equaliser. The final minutes usually are the worst moment to be caught up, because you have no time to react.”
Chiellini insisted that a draw in the match would have been devastating for the team, considering the fact that they dominated for most of the game. He insisted that the team owes a lot to Del Piero for stepping up to the moment, and providing the crucial
equaliser. The defender insisted that Juve must look to wrap up their future matches much early in the game.
"Tension was high, because a draw in such a match was inconceivable, considering that we clearly dominated. We all thank Alex [Del Piero] for his wonderful goal, but we must learn to decide our games earlier on."
The Bianconeri guard warned his team against complacency ahead of the match against Cesena, and pointed out that the team can suffer difficulties playing on the synthetic pitch. The defender insisted that the team requires a lot of attention in the game
to secure their unbeaten status from slipping against a spirited side.
