Amauri: We Should Have Killed The Game

Amauri is the latest Juventus player to lament the number of missed chances against Catania last night, while he has words of praise for Sebastian Giovinco.

The Brazilian has been in outstanding form of late, and scored for the third Serie A game in succession from Giovinco’s cross to put Juve 1-0 up against Catania in Turin.

However, despite creating a whole host of chances, the Bianconeri could not kill off the game, and the Sicilians found an equaliser midway through the second half to grab a somewhat undeserved point.

“Unfortunately my goal wasn't enough to win this time,” said Amauri.

“We should have done better getting another goal with all the chances we had. Shame about that funny bounce that cost us a goal.

“We're only at the beginning and we can only get better. Giovinco gave me a beautiful pass; he is proof of how strong the squad is, a squad where everyone is well-prepared when they're called into action.”

Juventus had been joint-top of the table prior to last night, but they have now allowed Inter to open up a two point gap over them, while they have also been leapfrogged by Lazio and Atalanta. This weekend Juve take on Sampdoria in Genoa.
