Conte: 'Trabzonspor trip won't be easy'

Juventus head coach Antonio Conte has insisted that his side's trip to Turkey to take on Trabzonspor in the second leg of their Europa League last-32 clash will not be easy, despite the 2-0 lead they hold from last week's game.

Conte said that it will be a different game entirely with the passionate home supporters behind their team, but added that the players must keep faith with their ability.

"Tomorrow will not be easy for us," he told Corriere dello Sport. "The 2-0 is a good result, especially because we did not concede a goal.

"Now we have a small advantage over them but we know that we will face a team that will be spurred on by 25,000 fans. However, we are prepared to meet this challenge and succeed. We have sufficient experience to handle these fierce environments."

On-loan striker Pablo Osvaldo scored his first goal for Juve in the home win.
