Giorgio Chiellini did nothing to hide his dissatisfaction after Juventus were held to a 2-2 draw at Atalanta on Sunday night.
"We’re disappointed – I can’t lie," he said after the final whistle. "That said, our performance was good and we need to build on that. It’s important that we take the positives and focus because we face a good side in Lazio after the break."
Chiellini stressed that Juventus should never have allowed Atalanta back into the game after racing into a 2-0 lead.
"Their first goal is particularly disappointing," he said. "I won’t go so far as to say that if we’d made it to half time at 2-0 then it would have been over, but not far off. We would have deserved it too, because we looked focused and strong at the start of the game. We should have been more alert because we knew Atalanta were going to put us under pressure. That said, I think we did well – [Gonzalo] Higuain had a fantastic game."
