“The thing we need to improve compared to last season is handling moments of the game, we saw that against Barcelona and also against Sassuolo, because against Sassuolo we had some similar moments to Barcelona.
“In Barcelona we were punished, and with Sassuolo there was the error of the goal… it wasn’t so much the goal we conceded though, but there were moments where Sassuolo got a lot of shots at goal.
“At Juventus that doesn’t have to happen, so we need to handle these moments better and, I repeat, I’m convinced our season is defined by those moments and we need to handle them better.
“There are moments in a game, like after 30-35 minutes - I don’t remember exactly - against Sassuolo where they played nice football, pressed us well and got shots off.
“You’ve got an opponent, and the opponent can always create problems. Maybe they’ve lost two goals so they push further up, and in those moments you need to understand if you’ve lost control of the game.
“That means you need to find a different command of the game, i.e in the defensive phase, and not allow them to get shots off at goal. When that moment passes you can start playing again.
“With Sassuolo that might be five minutes, with Barcelona it might be 20. That’s what we didn’t do in Barcelona.
“That’s the most important thing to do this year, and that’s what the season will depend on.”
