Claudio Marchisio has warned Juventus not to be pre-occupied with Atletico Madrid’s set-pieces in their Champions League fixture.
The sides meet on Tuesday in Turin and although Atletico have already guaranteed their place in the tournament’s next round, a two-goal defeat would see Juventus qualify in first place.
Marchisio has told a Press conference that Atletico’s good form means they won’t be an easy proposition and called for the Serie A champions to focus against their Primera counterparts.
“They aren't just strong on set pieces,” said Marchiso.
“They are a very compact team, very good at defending and countering, they have some players that in these respects can really give us trouble.
“In the first round we showed that we can play against them at the same level, something that isn't easy against the European finalists.
“We see that they come from 11 positive games in the Liga, so they're going through a great moment too.
“They'll be short of two important players [Joao Miranda and Cristian Ansaldi], but they'll be replaced by others who are doubtlessly at their level.
“And we saw in the first round how one mistake by the team – not by an individual – can lose us a match that we could have drawn.
“So against a team like Atletico we can't lower our concentration for a single second.”
