Siena shot stopper Gianluca Pegolo has voiced his belief that defender Giorgio Chiellini was Juventus' biggest attacking threat in Sunday's scoreless Serie A draw.
The Bianconeri fielded attackers such as Mirko Vucinic, Alessandro Matri, Fabio Quagliarella, Emanuele Giaccherini and Marco Borriello in last weekend's encounter, but the goalkeeper was clearly not impressed with Antonio Conte's attacking options.
"Juventus' most dangerous attacker? Giorgio Chiellini, no doubt about it," Pegolo was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"He came really close to beating me on a number of occasions.
"We did a good job though and we are very satisfied with the draw," the 30-year-old concluded.
Despite the home draw against Siena, Juventus remain top of the table as fellow title candidates AC Milan, Udinese and Lazio all spilled points as well.
