Leonardo Bonucci hailed Juventus debutant Fabio Miretti after victory over Venezia.

Juve defender Bonucci scored both goals for the 2-1 win, with fullback Miretti making his debut.

He said, “Fabio had a great performance, but we already knew his qualities and had no doubts he'd do well, even if he is young. The squad is in the process of rejuvenation and fresh blood is welcome.

“My role is to pass on my experience, that need to never give up and fight to the end."

Bonucci added: “It was a great day for my whole family, it felt like coming full circle after my wife's charity initiative. We needed to bring home the win to ensure the last three games wouldn't be too complicated, but Venezia deserve credit for coming here and playing open football."
