Roma coach Enrique surprised seeing Juventus still unbeaten

AS Roma coach Luis Enrique is surprised by Juventus' unbeaten record.

The two clubs meet in Turin tonight.

"The difference between the teams in the table is clear, but it will be an open game between two sides who know how to play football and know what they can do," said the Spaniard.

"I am surprised that Juventus are still unbeaten, as often big clubs have a drop in concentration levels against the smaller sides, but it hasn't happened to them this season.

"Antonio Conte is doing an extraordinary job. We will play our game, as we always do, trying to keep possession and score goals. It is exciting for us to play in Turin and try to end their run.

"We are 100 per cent motivated and you cannot make a mistake against Juventus. Don't forget we lost 3-0 in the Coppa Italia despite what I thought was a good performance. I doubt the Juventus Stadium will be a problem for us, as the word 'fear' must not exist in the football world. If anything, the atmosphere will give further motivation.

"At the halfway stage of the season, I said Milan were the only team stronger than Roma, but today only Juve and Milan have done better than everyone else. We were inconsistent, which is why we're far off the top of the table. We must work to get closer to their level."
