Juventus coach Fabio Capello turned on his players after last night's dramatic 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.
The Bianconeri ended the game in nine men after both Mauro Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina committed second bookable offences.
"What really disappoints me the most are the red cards, as these are things a team like Juventus cannot accept. We will have a little chat, because mistakes of this kind are unacceptable. I think Zebina's second was a little bit over the top from the referee, as it wasn't an ugly foul. Nonetheless, we should be more careful."
The 2-0 result at Highbury means that Juve must win 3-0 at the Delle Alpi on April 5 to reach the final four, but will be playing without the suspended Patrick Vieira, Camoranesi, Zebina and probably still injured Alessandro Del Piero.
"It's a heavy scoreline, but now we must focus on Treviso and think about that later," noted Capello. "The truth is we had three or four chances to shoot and Kolo Toure performed some crucial tackles, but I guess it is the right result on the night. We tried to play the ball, at times went for the long ball, but we conceded the goal because we weren't set out in the right positions. It had been a totally even game up until then."
The former Milan and Real Madrid tactician also analysed why Juve were so comprehensively limited in London.
"Arsenal were constantly doubling up on our wide men and Jose Antonio Reyes was acting almost as a full-back, so it was difficult to push down the flanks. We couldn't get the final pass through for one reason or another, whereas Arsenal did achieve that a few times. They play on the counter-attack and have remarkable pace when they burst forward from their own half like that with Henry as the lone striker. I think we will be able to change some things and do better in Turin. The pitch is a problem, but we'll have to try to make it work in our favour."
Capello has not lost hope of his first Champions League trophy since Milan thrashed Barcelona 4-0 in 1994.
"We need to have faith and I always do. We'll play with determination and grit. I have to say Arsenal had something extra in terms of physical stamina after essentially resting for 10 days. I've seen them play a few times and a defence is solid when everyone works hard to cover for them, which they do effectively right now."
