Juventus coach Gigi del Neri was delighted with their victory over AS Roma.
Juve ended Vincenzo Montella's unbeaten Roma record, as Milos Krasic and Alessandro Matri secured the 2-0 victory.
"We are above all happy with the way we played as well as the result," said Del Neri.
"It's an important and fundamental performance for Juventus here in Rome. We started with the 4-5-1 system, but then changed midway through because Roma were putting too much pressure on us.
"With today's results, the team can fight for Europe, even if it won't be easy to recover so many points towards the Champions League.
"We paid a heavy price in some games, but this squad is solid and has a bright future ahead of it.
"It must be noted we also had seven players on international duty with Italy and it's something other clubs cannot say."
