Roberto De Zerbi is proud of his Palermo players’ efforts in the 1-0 defeat to Juventus.
The Rosaneri were huge underdogs going into the game in Sicily but only an own-goal by Edoardo Goldaniga denied them a point.
“I am happy with the performance, but I am sorry because we conceded a goal that is difficult to take,” De Zerbi reflected post-match.
“The attitude of the boys was extraordinary and I am happy because we played with desire and enjoyment.

“Maybe we could have been braver but when Juve play they cause fear, so we did well to respect the opposition and have the right humility.”
The tactician was also asked about comparisons between himself and Antonio Conte.
“I feel like I am on the pitch, I am involved in the match so the comparisions with Conte, from this point of view, are pleasing.”
