Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo admits speaking with his players after their thrashing by Fiorentina.
Pirlo says the result must never be repeated.
He said, “We talked about that game and everything was wrong about it, from the attitude to every detail. It was a bad way to end 2020. We had a good meeting where we discussed our future objectives and what happened, so it was a productive encounter.
“I never want to see that performance again. We've improved in many aspects lately, but I am convinced we can do far better."
This is Pirlo's first season as a coach, so has he learned any valuable lessons already?
“Just as when I was a player, we need to judge situations in their entirety and look at the bigger picture. It's too easy to see you go from hero to zero in the media, but I'm used to it, having already been a player at the top level. It's nothing new.
“When you are in charge of Juve, you're going to run into a lot of difficulties and have to take on a lot of responsibility, but I'm ready for it."
