Chiellini with the Coppa Italia - Juventus LazioJuventus defender Giorgio Chiellini remains unflustered despite his team’s loss to Udinese in their opening Serie A fixture of the 2015-16 season.

The Bianconeri endured their first loss in 48 Serie A home matches despite dominating for the majority of the match. The Italian though is confident that the Scudetto holders can still retain their title, however they would need to work harder and be less negligent if they are to achieve that goal.

“We are even more united and compact, we know our qualities,” the Italian began.

“You need to have patience, but that does not mean we’re not here to win,” he added.

“When we have the full squad, it will be another matter.”
