Juventus defender Danilo: Players hide when in difficult moments; we should be ashamed

Juventus defender Danilo has accused teammates of "hiding" after their Champions League defeat at Maccabi Haifa.

The loss in Israel has left Juve's round of 16 qualifying chances hanging by a thread.

Danilo said: "It is difficult to find explanations at this moment, we must try to do better, to be more of a team and find that connection between all the components. I find it hard to think that a Juventus player can be nervous, in difficult moments we hide and throw the long ball and we have to find a solution.

"It's not enough to say we are Juventus, we have to prove it.

"Since I arrived here I have always said to think game by game, when you think too far you lose the objectives of every day. Nothing is taken for granted, if we do not take care of the simple things we will hardly win many games in a row. Juventus has a history. We just have to be ashamed, there are no words."
