Juventus coach Antonio Conte has said that there were positives in his side's defeat to Everton in the International Champions Cup.

The Serie A champions lost on penalties to Robert Martinez's men in the pre-season friendly tournament.

"I saw several positive things this evening," LegaSerieA.it quotes Conte as saying.

"Certainly, there are also negative aspects, but it is best [for these] to emerge in friendly matches, because we have time to improve.

"I liked our application. The legs were obviously tired after 15 days of hard work, but in the end they all played a good game."

Juve start their season with a Coppa Italia clash at home to Lazio on August 10.
