Typhus, Kean and Yildiz
Allegri: “The fans at the Stadium? We needed it. When you get used to winning for 9 years, after 3 years that the team doesn’t win, going back to having this climate inside the stadium is very important because it helps the kids. Yildiz? He is young, but he is a smart player who when he receives the ball he knows what to do. I’m really happy. Kean? I am very happy with his call up to the national team. He has grown a lot, he still has to grow. Tonight he was a little angry because he didn’t score a goal, but he gave a good performance“.

Allegri a Sky
Allegri also spoke to Sky: “In the first half we had prepared the match to be aggressive, but Torino were good and we were never able to catch them. Then we got organized with the 4-4-2 and from there we struggled less, we were more aggressive and from the 25th minute the game was in crescendo. Then Milik gave the game more fluidity, but Miretti made himself available and the first half should have been done like this. Defensively the team is finding a good balance, the defenders inside the area did well, which didn’t happen in Bergamo because we conceded some situations. The ranking? It’s a satisfaction, but the road is still long, returning to normality at Juventus means winning matches, turning the page and being happy, but thinking about the next one. Now we have the break then a great match against Milan and we have to prepare as best we can when everyone returns. Many Italian players have been called up, even Miretti and Fagioli will get there one day and I’m very happy about this“.

Kean’s La coppia
Did the Milik-Kean offensive tandem work better? “Milik brought physicality and technique. In the first half I needed Miretti in a very physical match, I needed his technique. When I put Milik on, more physicality was needed, with Kean who played a good game“. After the match against Sassuolo there were three matches without conceding a goal for Juventus: “There were individual errors against Sassuolo, those are the evenings that happen. It was important to have had a good reaction, these are things that happen and we need to go back to normality which at Juve is winning matches. Tonight we must thank the fans who were extraordinary. Having this climate inside the stadium all year round would be extraordinary“.
Juventus-Torino 2-0, all the statistics and the scoreboard

Allegri at the press conference
Allegri’s press conference begins: “Gatti’s goal? I’m happy for Federico. After Sassuolo’s performance he recovered very quickly and that’s normal. Throughout his career he will make other mistakes like everyone else, he must remain calm. At the beginning we couldn’t take on Torino, then we went 4-4-2 in defense and we grew there. I’m happy with the match, with the boys, we conceded little or nothing apart from an overhead kick by Sanabria. Defensively we were organized, this must be a further starting point because then after the break we will go to Milan. Whoa? He put in a good performance as a full-back and McKennie did well to cover him. They did a good job. Yildiz is young and needs to improve on many things. He is young, but when the ball arrives he always knows what he has to do“.
20:50
Allegri on Chiesa and Pogba
Allegri again to Dazn: “Chiesa will go to the national team, he was better today and I hope he recovers. The goal is to send as many players as possible to the national team. Yildiz too, he is smart and smart. Pogba? Humanly I am more than close to him. I met the boy and I can’t help but be close to him. Football loses an extraordinary player, different from all the others. He is suspended and we are very sorry, we hope the best for him. On a psychological level it won’t be easy“. Then, on the aspects to improve in his Juve, he says: “We need to do many more things. We defended well and conceded nothing, either individually or as a unit. Ball management needs to be done better. The team with less experienced players, today Yildiz entered who will become a wonderful player and has an incredible calmness, I’m happy with Kean and that he was called up as I’m happy with everyone else. The stadium must always be like this because it gives us an important hand“.

The match and the objectives
Allegri: “Turin? They were very good at the beginning. Same thing in Bergamo, we couldn’t go and get them, then with the 4-4-2 we became more organized and changed the game. The change of module? Having different solutions is very important. Changes can arrive at the start of the game or during the game in progress. In Bergamo when we should have changed the match we did worse, but we still managed to bring home an important 0-0. The target? It’s always the same, fourth place. But this doesn’t preclude us from aiming for something else because we are Juventus. We need to get our feet back on the ground and start winning matches normally again“.
20:35
The mistakes made by Juve
Allegri also talks about three mistakes made by his players: “We have to grow up. There were three bad choices, when we were 2-0 in control of the ball. There was a play by Milik that could have been avoided, then a counterattack by Locatelli on which we took a counterattack and then another shot by Cambiaso. We have to finish the action.”
20:32
Allegri at Dazn
Max Allegri introduces himself to Dazn’s microphones: “Do I have the record of 13 derby victories like Trapattoni? I didn’t know, I don’t even know how many I’ve played, I’m lucky, I’ve coached strong teams. In the first half we expected them to be very aggressive as they were in the first 20-25 minutes and we couldn’t catch them, then we reorganized ourselves and already in the first half we finished growing. Miretti did a good job. then when Milik came in we changed the game. The team played a good game, a mature game. We are growing on this, they are happy for the kids“.
20:10
The Curva Sud for Allegri
In the second half the Juventus Curva Sud, the beating heart of Juventus fans, sang chants for the coach: “One of us, Allegri one of us” and then “Mister Allegri, oooh, oooh“.
