Something isn't working, says Diego

Juventus midfield maestro Diego admits something isn't working after last night's disappointing 2-0 defeat away to French champions Bordeaux.

The result leaves Juventus needing to beat German giants Bayern Munich next month to ensure their qualification for the latter stages of the Champions League.

Speaking after the game, the Brazilian said: “It was a very important game for us and we got it wrong. Something isn't working.

“We have to talk about it and try to grow,” he concluded.

Diego's team-mate, Italy centre-back and Athlete of Christ, Nicola Legrottaglie also expressed the disappointment he felt at the way his side performed.

“The goal was actually against the run of play, as at the start of the second half we were doing better. Unfortunately once again we conceded a goal against Bordeaux from a dead ball situation.

“It's a shame, as we had started with the right attitude after the break. In these competitions nowadays the dead ball situations are crucial, as it's difficult to score in the Champions League from open play.

“Bordeaux deserve praise, they have this characteristic and deserved to win. It certainly wasn't our best performance and we did not play like Juventus.

“We know the responsibilities and pressure of wearing such a prestigious jersey, so we may not always be consistent, but we did work hard and have the final game on home turf.

“We have two out of three results at our disposal,” Legrottaglie concluded.
