Juventus striker David Trezeguet says there is no reason to read too much into yesterday’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of MLS side New York Red Bulls.

Three second half goals gave the American outfit a famous win over the Italian giants, who netted a late consolation through Amauri. But Trezeguet looked unfazed after the encounter.

“These matches count for little,” he told the Turin club’s official website.

“The important thing is that no one got injured. We were tired and could not have done more.”

Juve will be back in action on Tuesday night in Toronto in a friendly clash against fellow Serie A side Fiorentina.

“We will try to do good things,” concluded ‘Trezegol’, who is said to be on his way out of the Olimpico and tomorrow’s game might be his final appearance in a Juve shirt.
