Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri questioned his players' mentality after their 2-1 defeat of Genoa.

A stoppage-time Cristiano Ronaldo penalty saved their blushes.

Sarri said, In terms of characteristics, I think this team is suited to playing with a man behind the strikers, rather than three upfront. This is a system that rather penalised Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Douglas Costa has played as a trequartista too, especially at Shakhtar Donetsk. He's only been back for two days, so we didn't have time to test him in that role.

This is a squad that won eight consecutive Serie A titles, so I think they might be lacking a bit of determination, both going forward and defending."
