Allegri speaks after Nantes-Juve – La Gazzetta dello Sport

“I’m happy with the performance – said Juve coach Max Allegri at the end of the victorious match against Nantes – it wasn’t an easy match. The French public pushed hard. We played a good match, managing to exploit the advantage that Pallois’ sending off got us going. We need to improve the speed of the pass, and understand that only by keeping the ball using the whole pitch do we have an advantage.”

Di Maria and a regret

—

“Champions are different from others, they know how to make everything simple. Players like this raise the level of the team, the others are calmer. He sees things that others don’t see, there are categories of players and he belongs to the champions”: this is the “dedication ” by Allegri a Of Maria. The coach also dwells on Fagioli: “He and Miretti are the ones who have played the most, they have important qualities. They need to play, they are playing. They alternate between less good matches and better matches. They gain experience, Fagioli has great technical qualities” . On absences: “Apart from Napoli who are doing a league of their own, Juventus performed well. In the Champions League we were eliminated by Benfica, while in the league we scored 47 points like Inter, if we don’t take into account the rulings From the outside, however, they see Juventus at 32 points… I see the season as more than positive: Pogba, Di Maria, Vlahovic stopped, as did Bonucci and Cuadrado. But we found some young players, who in the presence of the injured maybe they wouldn’t have played. Now everyone is returning and everyone is needed. We can’t snub the Europa League or the championship because we have 32 points.”

“It’s not because we’ve been eliminated from the Champions League that it becomes easy to win the Europa League. We need respect, we have a duty to get to the bottom in the Europa League as well as in the Italian Cup. Even in the league we’ll slowly see where to go”. The last parenthesis is to close a recent spat with De Grandis, a Sky journalist: “I’m sorry about the other evening, if there had been another journalist in his place, the same thing would have happened. I only want to win 1-o ?Tonight at 3-0 I was angry because they were technically wrong.”
