The former central back of Lecce was talking to the press and during his interview he went on to reflect on their defeat in the Derby d’Italia and gave his analysis.
Juventus finally lost a match after nearly one and a quarter of a season, however, they were agonisingly close to extending the run of results to 50 games unbeaten in the Serie A. Furthermore, had it been any other match against any other opposition in the

two outfits. There is a huge deal of rivalry between the two clubs, which was multiplied by a huge factor when the Nerazzurri were granted two Scudetto that had been won by Juventus in the aftermath of the Calciopoli scandal.
The second reason for the extreme importance given to this match in particular was that it was being billed as the match between the contenders of the Serie A championship (Scudetto), as the two sides were also occupying the top two spots in the Serie A.
The game was the perennial six-pointer and the team winning the match would have great leverage in the remainder of the season, as momentum of either side could have swung both ways in the aftermath of the result. Bonucci remarked on the mistakes they had
made in the match and the lack of killer instinct they had shown during the first half. He was quoted to have said:
“We dominated the first 20 minutes. But then, after that, we were not the same Juventus. We were punished by a lot of mistakes – we have to improve in attack and in possession generally. When you've got the ball, the opponents can't hurt you – that's obvious.”
The Bianconeri outfit had a glorious chance through Marchisio to make it 2-0 within the first fifteen minutes, but the midfielder struck the ball cleanly but straight in the path of the on rushing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Handanovic-c32356.
