Thiago Motta insisted his Juventus side must regain focus after their Champions League victory over Manchester City when they return to Serie A this weekend.
Dusan Vlahovic and the returning Weston McKennie were on target against Pep Guardiola's side in midweek, lifting Juventus to 14th in the 36-team standings.
But Motta's side have failed to find that clinical edge in recent league games, despite being the only side left in Serie A not to have lost a game this season.
For the first time, Juventus have drawn nine of the first 15 league games of a Serie A season and won six games, their lowest total at this stage since 2001-02.
These draws put Motta in sixth place in the table and seven points behind leaders Atalanta, ahead of Venezia, who are at the bottom of the table.
Despite the position of Saturday's opponents in the standings, Motta did not underestimate the threat Eusebio Di Francesco's side will pose at the Allianz Stadium.
“Obviously the win helps, but the group is focused on the next one,” Motta told reporters ahead of Saturday's home game.
“It was a good match with a deserved victory, but that is a thing of the past. Now it's canceled, left behind, we improve and immediately think of Venezia.
“Our approach is always the same. We always have the same respect for our opponents and with the idea of taking the field and doing our best with humility and seriousness.”

However, Motta will be without several of his first-team players, with Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal, Arkadisuz Milik and Andrea Cambiaso all missing this weekend.
Jonas Rouhi, who replaced Cambiaso against Bologna in their last Serie A match, is also unavailable due to injury, but there is good news for Juventus.
Nicolas Gonzalez, who has missed the last fourteen matches in all competitions due to muscle problems, returns for the visit of Venezia.
“Nico returns to the group, he is very happy because he has worked a lot to make himself available,” Motta said. “I hope I can give him a few minutes.”
But Motta will watch the match from the stands after being shown a red card against former club Bologna, but he is confident his players can get the job done.
“It will be the first time. I think and hope that it will have little impact, in fact it can increase the level of responsibility of the team,” Motta said.
“From above you could see different things, because on the field some things are perceived differently.”
