Diego insists he can win back the Juventus fans' affection. The Brazil midfielder has been barracked by Juve fans since their downturn in results and was again targeted during yesterday's 1-1 draw with Lazio.

"It means nothing, nothing. I'm here to play, to train well, so to be a professional. And that's what I'll do. It's true that I must improve. I have my responsibility and I am here to learn and do better," said Diego.

On coach Alberto Zaccheroni, Diego added: "He told me to play, to stay free, keep the ball at my feet to create opportunities and I think today I tried to do it."
