Juventus fans are not letting their team down after the Serie A champions dropped a 2-0 home defeat to Sampdori on Sunday.

Juventus have now lost three of their last four Serie A matches at the Stadio Olimpico.

It was the first defeat in four games for the Nerazzurri, who have only lost once in their last seven league games.

“It’s a very difficult moment for the team,” said Juve coach Alessandro Del Piero.

“I am very disappointed because we did not have a clear start.

We have not shown the quality that we could have shown at the start of the season.”

Sampdori, who finished bottom of Serie A, will play in their first league match in 18 months when they travel to Torino on Saturday.

Del Piero said: “We have to go home and think about the team.

We will not take a day off, and I am really happy to be here.”

Juventus fans are also looking forward to playing at the Torino stadium after the home side were beaten 2-1 in Turin last season.

The Bianconeri had lost their opening two matches against Napoli and Roma and were coming off a 1-0 loss to Samp, who had been the opposition in the last three Serie A fixtures.

“We are disappointed because our team is playing at a level that is not acceptable,” Del Piere said.

“I am disappointed because of the level of the team and the level we have shown so far this season.”
