Juventus, Allegri: “We have to score more, we risked equalizing”

“We have to score more, we risked equalizing.” Massimiliano Allegri takes the 3 points against Lecce but isn’t satisfied with Juventus’ performance: “In this period we have to do better up front, close the many actions”, he underlines. “We had many chances against a ‘boring’ team like Lecce, which put everyone in a crisis. I’m thinking, for example, of that opportunity with Miretti that was not exploited. We made too many mistakes between Bologna and Lecce, we can’t keep the matches open. Even because defensively we conceded too much out of nothing. We need to improve. However, the victory is deserved against an excellent Lecce. We didn’t know how to rejoice over a victory, it had been a month since we had won.”

“Sorry for De Sciglio, he was doing well”

The sore point of the evening was De Sciglio’s injury: “Yes, sorry. Mattia suffered a crusader injury and that makes us feel bad. He was playing a good game, unfortunately that’s how it went. He’ll have time to recover and come back to play”.

“Vlahovic’s goal? I hope it’s a starting point for him”

The happy note of the evening, on the other hand, comes from Vlahovic, who returned to scoring in the league after 3 months: “He scored an extraordinary goal. He finished the game on a crescendo. Unfortunately this year he collided with a reality he had not never clashed. In Fiorentina everything was going well, he hadn’t messed up but this is part of his career. He had to remain serene and I hope it’s a starting point for him”.

“Paredes more balanced, Pogba entered well”

The other Juventus goal instead bears the signature of Paredes: “I’m happy, he played an important match in front of the defense and was more balanced than some time ago. Bonucci also played an important match, at his level. Bremer has played good balls but he has to trust his good feet more”. Allegri also spends a few words on Pogba: “He came on well, I saw him confident for the first time. I spoke to him, it was a cursed season for him. He can’t play 90 minutes but he knows it too. The important thing is that he does like today when he comes in. In today’s football, the important thing is to come in and determine.”

“Match with Atalanta a crucial point in the Champions League”

On Sunday there will be a direct clash for the race for the Champions League at Atalanta: “We will need to be good and clear-headed, regain energy. We need to score a certain number of points, if you don’t reach 72-73 it will be difficult for you to reach the top four. Sunday will be one important junction, we will know at what altitude the Champions League will be. We struggled to get to 60, I told the boys that Sunday was a difficult match, but coming back and playing that second half after making so many mistakes wasn’t easy. of the guys who have had a reaction on a mental level,” he concludes.
