On the return to Juve in summer: “There were two contacts, then we did not define anything and not for an economic question.

On Allegri’s return: “To me all those criticisms seem crazy. I respect Allegri very much, as a coach and even more as a person. It seems to me the right person for Juve and the results say he rearranged it. But no one says that under pressure he is the best. “
An example: “Inter-Juve 2-3 in 2018. We came from the defeat with Naples and it was clear that we were risking a lot. Allegri made a great speech, very calmly, he put us back to work and we have turned that calm into strength.“
On the foul on Rafinha in Inter-Juve: “I feel like saying enough, let’s talk about something else. In that action, I jumped like that, I certainly didn’t want to hurt. Sure, I know I could have taken the second yellow, but in my opinion the first admonition had been wrong. Years later, I’d like him to remember our great comeback, not an Orsato decision.”
On Inter-Juve: “For me it’s 50-50, but Paulo Dybala can also decide. I think Allegri will make him play from the start. Paulo has the head of a champion, he will always be ready.”
On the choice of the company on Dybala: “I wrote to Paulo immediately when I found out, because to me he is a friend, I always liked playing with him. I wrote him that he is a great champion and he replied “thanks, brother, I love you.” I think I understand how he feels.”
On his role with Sarri: “Sarri is a football fool, a great coach. The mistake was another: I fixed myself on the number of balls to play, the famous 150 balls and I lost sight of my football.“
Your Koeman: “I couldn’t continue with him. His way of doing things is disrespectful. Laporta made a great decision with Xavi: now the group is united and everyone knows what to do.“
