Juventus, Allegri: “I’m sorry for Pogba, we’ll have to be clear-headed and serene in Seville”

“Pogba will have to stop again, we are all sorry.” Massimiliano Allegri fails to enjoy the success on the Cremonese. The Frenchman’s new stop embitters the entire Juventus environment: “He really didn’t want us because he was doing reasonably well. When he came out, among other things, we had minutes of difficulty in finding our positions and we are sorry for the sacrifices what he did. We’ll wait for him again. He’s a man, he has broad shoulders. It’s normal to take certain risks when you don’t play for a year, when you play from the start, unfortunately, the chances of getting injured increase. We all give him a big thumbs up wolf”.

“We closed on a crescendo, better in the second half”

Allegri was satisfied with the team’s performance: “The team is physically better. In the second half we found the goal by increasing speed and verticalizing more. Fagioli did well, as did Chiesa. In the first half we had to do better when we took the ball. They they defended well. We could have been faster, in the second half we did better. We deserved it and we’re happy about it. The team is doing well, this gives us hope.”

“In Seville we will have to remain lucid and serene”

Words that make it clear that the mind is already in Seville where Juve are playing for a season: “The seasons don’t depend on a match”, replies Allegri. “Sevilla have won 6 Europa Leagues, we will do everything possible and we will do everything possible to stay second in the standings. It will not be an easy match. Anything can happen, the first leg draw was good for how it started. Qualification is now open.” For Thursday, Allegri is worried about the fact that “they’re playing at home in a difficult environment. We’ll need to be serene, clear-headed. The goal destabilized us, we had 15 minutes of difficulty and we have to treasure this. It could happen in Sevilla, but we’ll have to stay within the game.” The Juventus coach ignores how to stem Sevilla: “I don’t have anything in mind, I’ll decide at the last minute as always. Maybe tomorrow I have one thing in mind, the day after tomorrow another. We’ll see on Wednesday when I’ll have clearer ideas. Let’s hope we get them right” .

“In order to grow this group, responsibilities must be removed”

In closing, Allegri looks ahead trying to make people understand what steps the team must take to fight for the Scudetto: “We need to take one step at a time. First we finish this season in the best possible way, we consolidate one of the top four places in the league and by finishing second we would improve what we have done in the last two years. Let’s see what the Europa League gives us. For next year, I repeat that there is still a little bit left. This year, 5-6-7 young people have arrived from the Next Gen and the work started 10 years ago. Next year we will have to start again, then the years change because maybe some situations suit you and everything changes. We start again to fight for the top, but you have to be realistic and serene, take responsibility away from a group with so many young people inside”.
