Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri was satisfied with victory over Brescia.

Alfredo Donnarumma put the Rondinelle in front, but an own goal and a Miralem Pjanic volley turned the game around.

Sarri said, “We improved a great deal in our passing and had more control of the game, but we need to improve in our defending. I saw steps forward in the way we created chances too, as there were basically three goal-line clearances and it wasn't easy after going behind within four minutes in a passionate atmosphere."

He also stated: “At the start of the season, Douglas Costa was the one making the difference and I wanted to make the most of that form. Paulo Dybala was doing well recently, so it was right to use him tonight.

“With the trequartista, Aaron Ramsey is best suited to the role right now, while there's also Rabiot. In some games, I am convinced Dybala can also help us out as a trequartista, although I prefer him a few metres further forward.

“Dybala showed a lot of quality, did well in combining at pace with Ramsey, he went off with a slight knock and we'll see how he's doing.

“Matthijs De Ligt is growing, we need a little patience. He is very young, came from a very different style of football at Ajax. He is phenomenal, but not ready yet. Don't forget Kalidou Koulibaly struggled a little in the first few months of Serie A with Napoli too.

“We've lost a charismatic player in defence like Giorgio Chiellini, then Mattia De Sciglio and today Danilo. At times we are vulnerable in defence as a team and not just because of the defenders. I want to see the goal we conceded tonight, but I don't think it was entirely the fault of the back four."
