TURIN, Italy : Juventus players should have been more precise in their attack as they played out a goalless home draw against AS Roma in Serie A on Sunday, coach Thiago Motta said.Juventus dropped the first points of their league campaign after kicking off the season with impressive back-to-back 3-0 victories against Como and Hellas Verona."I think it's a fair result, in a balanced match.

We didn't concede and we have one more point in the standings," Motta told a press conference."I'm very satisfied with the group and their commitment.

We could have done much better today in precision in the offensive phase, but the opposing team knew how to defend and not give spaces."It is the first time since 2014-15 that Juventus managed to keep a clean sheet in their first three Serie A games of the season."Today we were too frenetic.

At times we did well, at times they did well, it was a really difficult and balanced game," Motta added."We failed to understand the right moment to hit Roma, which must be underlined, they are a great team.
