We Did Our Best - Ranieri
Claudio Ranieri commented on the goalless draw of Juventus away to Empoli, and did not feel like complaining about the players' performances.
Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri talked about the goalless draw away to Empoli, which despite the Bianconeri's shallow performance still allowed them to gain one point over their challengers Milan and Fiorentina, who both lost tonight.
"We wanted to win, but we were facing a very determined Empoli side, who were well organised," the coach commented. "Compliments to Empoli, they played with a 4-5-1 and they didn't allow us to play. We tried, but we didn't manage to win. It's always better to get a point rather than nothing.
"The second round of the season is always more difficult than the first, not just for Juve, but for everyone. On our part, I think we are having a good season, but it's difficult. I don't have anything to complain about to my players, perhaps only the last pass wasn't quite right, but today it was hard to find spaces."
Juventus remained comfortably in third place following tonight's match, as they currently hold a 5-point lead over fourth-placed Fiorentina.
