Finishing must improve, says Conte

Juventus may have won 2-0 at Novara on Sunday, but coach Antonio Conte his side’s finishing can still improve.

Juve created numerous chances to double their lead after Simone Pepe’s early opener, but they failed to make it 2-0 until Fabio Quagliarella found the net in the 75th minute to put the game to bed.

“During the week we work a lot on this aspect of the game (finishing). In the next games we’ll look to convert more of our chances, also to avoid giving me heart problems,” Conte said.

“However, I prefer to have this problem rather than others. I’m happy at how the team creates chances.”

“We’ll enjoy today’s victory and tomorrow (Monday) we’ll turn our attention to the game against Udinese. We want to end 2011 in a positive way and exceed expectations.”

Juventus top the Serie A table at the moment with 33 points from 15 games.
