Hernanes slams Juventus' 'lack of determination'

Hernanes hit out at Juventus teammates after their 1-1 draw at Chievo Verona.

This was already their worst ever start to a Serie A season, but the last time they failed to win any of the opening three rounds was in 1968-69 with a trio of stalemates.

“I am not remotely satisfied, as we needed three points today and the table is getting stretched out," Hernanes told Sky Sport Italia.

“We lacked the determination to take the lead, so from Tuesday we must immediately try to pour that grit into the game with Manchester City.

“As we get older and more experienced, players learn that quality isn't enough. You have to marry it with determination, grit and effort to get the ball first."
