Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini admits they were outclassed for Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan.
The result was never really in doubt at San Siro, as Nicolò Barella created one goal for Arturo Vidal and scored the second himself on a long Alessandro Bastoni ball.
“You can make all the preparations and tests you want, but it's about putting that into action. We didn't win a single duel on the field today, Inter wanted it more and deserved the victory," Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia.
“It's a blow, but it mustn't be a knockout blow, because we have the time to make up for it and a long way to go this season, starting on Wednesday against Napoli in the Supercoppa. Fortunately, we are playing again in three days, so we can put this behind us and focus on winning the first trophy of the campaign.
"There are times when you have to be humble and allow the opponents to have the ball, but our problem today was that when we were on the ball, we made a lot of mistakes and were constantly giving it away or not finding a way through.
“We were out-played in every area of the field, we kept taking too many touches, were moving the ball too slowly, we made too many mistakes."
