Del Piero downplays Juve struggles
Alessandro Del Piero has stated that he is not too bothered by Juventus’ recent displays, including a 2-0 loss to Bordeaux in the Champions League.
Juve failed to confirm their place in the knockout stages of Europe's elite competition in emphatic fashion and are now looking for a draw against Bayern Munich to advance.
"It's clear that I am not satisfied," Del Piero told the Corriere dello Sport.
"When you lose you are upset. We suffered too much. We could reflect on several things at the moment, but the truth is that we were coming off a testing three-month spell.
"There have been plenty of injuries and the new players are settling in. It's inevitable to go through ups and downs."
The Bianconeri take on Cagliari this weekend away from home.
"Let's hope we get back to winning ways soon, starting with Cagliari, so that we gain more self-confidence," concluded the skipper.
