The Juventus coach praises his team after the victory over Milan (“In the first half we conceded nothing”) but reproaches the team for managing their numerical superiority: “Against a team with 10 men you have to transform the pitch into an airport: those passes by a meter they drive me crazy.” On the objectives after the success in a direct clash: “Nothing changes, we have to get to the Champions League”
“Football is made up of episodes, a nice play by Kean led to Thiaw’s red. The guys were very good, I can only thank them. It’s been a long time since we won against Milan.” Thus Massilioano Allegri after the 1-0 at San Siro which puts Juventus -2 from the top. “This victory gives us a different dimension only if we are aware of where we need to improve, that is, the ball management phase, without forcing plays but going for sure. Tonight we enjoy the team victory, suffering, typical of Juventus.” Sugli goals of Juventus, Allegri doesn’t change his refrain even after victory in a direct match: “The ranking doesn’t matter now, all that matters in the end is being in the top 4. What if I expected to be -2 from first place today? Twenty points after 9 games means more than 2 points on average per game, and this would take us to the Champions League…”.

Thiaw red decisive: the report cards of Milan-Juve 0-1
No jacket and tie: here’s why
He finished without a jacket or tie, torn away at the end of a show on the sidelines, very angry with his team who were still winning at San Siro against Milan. At the end of the match Allegri also explained the reason for his anger: “If you play against a team with 10 men, you have to widen the pitch and make it become an airport: you have to make longer passes and finish safely, you can’t make passes close or contrasts. Those three-foot steps drive me crazy in those situations… Having said that, the team played a great game, defensively in the first half we didn’t concede anything to Milan.”
Huijsen’s debut: “2005 with the confidence of a thirty-year-old”
Finally, a joke about the singles: “Huijsen he entered very well, with the confidence of a thirty-year-old: fortunately I found these 2005s and it is thanks to the work of the youth sector. Vlahovic he is very well, Church He hadn’t trained for three weeks, I’m very happy with both of them.”
