“Juve are a great side, second to no-one, and are still the team to beat. They did win the last four Scudetti, after all. They said that they want to start their Serie A season here in Genoa, so we’ll see what happens.
“We know the injury issues, as we haven’t had Mattia Perin, Ezequiel Munoz or Cristian Ansaldi available yet, plus we lost Tino Costa last weekend.
“Blerim Dzemaili has only been with us for two weeks and is working like all the others. We can only improve. We’ve created the chances over the last few games, but didn’t bring home the results.
“The keys to facing big clubs are intensity and organisation. Juve are aggressive too and don’t allow you to play. They’ve struggled so far, but the real Juventus is the one we saw against Manchester City.”
Genoa squad for Juventus: De Maio, Izzo, Burdisso, Perotti, Diogo, Marchese, Capel, Ntcham, Pandev, Lazovic, Lamanna, Ujkani, Dzemaili, Sommariva, Tachtsidis, Rincon, Cissokho, Laxalt
