Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo was delighted after their 2-0 defeat of Roma.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a wonder goal, with Roger Ibanez putting through his own net.
“We had prepared this type of match. We knew Roma play very good football, so we were prepared to sit back, defend and then go on the counter," Pirlo told Sky Italia.
“Our preventative marking was good, this was the approach we wanted, because it wasn't easy to go forward and be aggressive with Roma.
“Instead, we waited for them at times and attacked them at others. We basically did a reverse of the way Roma played against us earlier this season, because you need that in your locker and can't always be aggressive with a high press.
“We have found the enthusiasm, are more solid and our defensive approach is more determined now, because we learned from mistakes made in the past.
“Giorgio Chiellini is in good shape and we hope he can continue like this. The group has always been humble, known when it's the time to run without the ball and when everyone needs to help out. Even the biggest champions do that and it's a crucial element."
