No excuses for Juventus - Evra
The Old Lady lost 2-1 at Napoli on Saturday
evening and are already 10 points behind Serie A
leaders Inter following a poor start to the season
Juventus defender Patrice Evra says there are no
excuses for his team's slow start to the Serie A
season after another loss on Saturday.
Max Allegri's squad was overhauled in the
summer following the exits of Andrea Pirlo, Arturo
Vidal and Carlos Tevez, while injuries have also
hit in the early part of the campaign, with Claudio
Marchisio and new arrival Sami Khedira out for
long spells.
The defending champions went down 2-1 at
Napoli to leave them with just one win from their
opening six league games and 10 points behind
leaders Inter.
And Evra was in no mood for excuses when he
spoke to reporters at the San Paolo: "We're all
responsible."
"Our young players cannot be used as an excuse
and it's down to the older heads to help them out.
"It's a difficult moment for us, and it hurts, but
we're not panicking and I remain fully optimistic.
Now we've got the Champions League and
Bologna and we want to win at home."
Goals from Lorenzo Insigne and Gonzalo Higuain
sent Napoli to their win, and they held on despite
Mario Lemina pulling one back for Juve.
