DBasia.news – The Serie A big match between Juventus against As Roma in Turin ended with a slight victory for the host. Juve played with their best squad and played the trio Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, and Cristiano Ronaldo in the front line. However, these three faced the difficulty to penetrate Roma’s defense guarded by the goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

“Robin Olsen made some fine saves and we played well. It was a good game, we remained organized when under pressure,” said Juve coach Max Allegri.

“We had to cause Roma problems and put the pressure on them straight away, as it’s a psychologically fragile side. We should’ve done more after going 1-0 up, as they were really struggling,” he continued.

The failure makes Roma stay in the middle table in the 10th position with 24 of 17 matches. Meanwhile, Juve stay as the leader with 49 points from 16 victories, 1 defeat, and no draw.
