Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri says their defending must improve after drawing 2-2 at Champions League opponents Atletico Madrid.
After the Bianconeri were 2-0 up with Juan Cuadrado and Blaise Matuidi goals, Atleti fought back with two headers from set plays courtesy of Stefan Savic and Hector Herrera.
“It was a vast improvement from the last performance and we felt like the game was in our hands, so drawing leaves a bitter taste in the mouth," Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.
“Juventus had not scored in this stadium for many visits and we got two goals, plus had another three or four shots on goal. It's disappointing, because the Atleti goals came from predictable situations and yet we weren't ready for them.
“The cliché would be to switch to man-marking, but I don't think that makes sense. We need to be more aggressive on set plays. Atleti are very good in the air, but the ball was so weak and we were too passive, as it could've been cut out.
“If we're being passive, then we'd be passive with man-marking too. I also see a lot of VAR incidents with man-marking lead to penalties, so that's another area to be wary of. We will work on defending from set plays."
