Allegri: “Juve, too bad about the goal conceded, the result was right”

“It’s a shame about the goal conceded, but the result is fair, it reflects a balanced game – said the Juve coach Max Allegri at the end of the match -. We finished on a crescendo, we had speeded up the action and were more present in the box. Having said that, it’s a pity because the game was over, we needed to be quicker, put pressure on in the last 30 seconds. Kostic could have been more mischievous on Dumfries, but in the end it was equal, there were chances from both sides. The team is in a good condition, but we know that the return counts. The ending? No big deal, just a little confusion”.

“The positive thing is the anger for the draw, but you have to be good at accepting it. In the first half we were slow in moving the ball and they slowed us down even more. In the second half there was more pressure, the sensations were good but it happens this also”. Attackers chapter: “Dusan played a good game, Angel is extraordinary in connecting the departments. Then we need to occupy the area better with him on the pitch. With Federico we spent less in the middle and more on the outside, but the first opportunity was already there ‘Angel himself had. I’m happy with their performances, then I had to make substitutions because we needed fresh people with different characteristics. The match was blocked, Chiesa could have broken it.’

MARY’S ANGRY

“He was certainly angry because I took him off but I had to make substitutions based on the progress of the match. He hadn’t played for a long time, he had been in the national team and I took him off for someone who would tear a little more and be more present in the area”. Chiesa’s situation: “Federico is improving in condition, the pain behind the tendon has decreased and today he finished the game and I’m happy. He must improve, in 40 games before today he played 900 minutes out of 3600, it’s normal that the psychological aspect it’s a bit like that, it’s normal, it takes time. Since he came back I’ve said he needed months, next year he’ll be more ready and calmer.”
