Agent plays down Sebastian Giovinco jeers

Sebastian Giovinco's agent has played down the jeers that the forward received from the Juventus fans on Saturday.

The Bianconeri fans were not pleased with the performance of the 25-year-old during their goalless draw with Lazio in Turin in Serie A.

"There can be dissent, but I'd like to underline it was a small section and not the entire stadium," Claudio Pasqualin told TMW. "Seba's time at Juve has been positive and the proof is there in the fact [coach] Antonio Conte considers him to be a first-choice pick.

"Maybe he could've scored a few more goals, but he is aware of that too. At times it was down to bad luck, others the opposition goalkeeper, but Seba is relaxed.

"He has a cool head and the strong shoulders of a champion. This unlucky moment will pass. As for the jeers, even if they were coming from a small minority, it is all part of the game."

Juventus are currently at the top of the Serie A table with 32 points from 13 matches.
