Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri refused to be too downhearted about his team's performance in a 2-1 loss to Inter Milan and challenged his players to prove their calibre by bouncing back.
Allegri had urged caution throughout his side's seamless start to the new campaign and told his club's official website: "Today's defeat isn't a tragedy and could actually be a blessing in disguise if we react in a sufficiently mature manner.''
Allegri added: "Inter played well, but we failed to maintain our concentration tonight. We lost possession too easily and let them counter-attack too often.
"They did well to create chances, but as soon as we took the lead we needed to show that savvy in order to bring home the three points.''
Allegri's players will have plenty of chances to rebound from their first defeat of the season with games against Cagliari, Palermo and Dinamo Zagreb all to come in the next nine days.
He added: "We now have a run of important matches and we need to return to winning ways, remembering that we have to do the business on the pitch in order to secure the results we want.''
