Udinese coach Pasquale Marino admits his players froze against Juventus on Sunday.

Reflecting on Sunday night's defeat, Marino rapped: "We were too timid.

"We didn't build the play up well and we gave up too easily when things went wrong.

"They were vastly superior to us. We adopted a reverential attitude and that's not a characteristic we usually show.

"This approach has to stop now because it's better to lose by two goals than to lose like this."
