Nicola Legrottaglie has said Juventus are starting to see their efforts in training pay dividends on the pitch following their 2-1 win over Ajax in the Europa League.

Two goals from Amauri overturned the tie after Miralem Sulejmani's opener for Ajax.

It's onwards and upwards for Juve and Legrottaglie as he hails the team's new found enthusiasm to win, paying particular attention to Alberto Zaccheroni's tactics.

"Finally we have won two on the bounce," he told Juventus Channel after the game.

"We played an excellent match against a great team and this win gives us plenty of self-belief and motivation so we can now win more games.

"As you can see we are now getting used to Zaccheroni's tactics and so we are beginning to see the fruits of our labour."
