We reacted after their goal in the second half, but we don't need a slap in the face to wake us up - we have to start with more determination," the club's official website quoted Pirlo as saying."We knew it would be more difficult than in Kiev, especially due to the intensity that Verona puts on the pitch. Kulusevski came on and did very well, Dybala worked hard for 90 minutes and it was a positive note, Arthur did well in his second match, as did the other midfielders, but we need to improve," he added.Juventus currently holds the fifth spot on the Serie A points table with nine points from five games.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
