"We must undoubtedly start off from the second half we played," Juventus assistant manager Marco Landucci said after the team's draw with Bologna.

"The team was a little tense in the beginning, passing the ball around slowly, but we mustn't forget that there are also opponents on the pitch and Bologna played a good game tonight.
We probably also felt the effects of the first home game. We wanted to put on a show, but above all, a bit of calm was needed. At the moment we have to look at the positive aspects and one of them is that we had an excellent second half," he added.
"We are sad that Dusan's goal at the beginning of the second half didn't stand, because it would have been important to draw level at that moment of the match, but we pushed anyway and found the equaliser in the end."
