Allegri after Lazio victory: “We need to keep our feet on the ground; 76 points will help us qualify for the next Champions League.”
“I am pleased with the performance, the victory, and especially the attitude of the players, whether they played from the beginning, came in as substitutes, or were on the bench, the atmosphere is really positive.” Said Massimiliano Allegri as he commented Juventus‘ victory over Lazio.
On the other hand, the emphasis is on Chiesa‘s performance, which was indeed of a high standard.”I think he and Vlahovic have improved a lot, especially because Federico is playing much closer to Dusan and they both are finding more spaces. I believe it was his best game since joining Juventus in terms of technique, intensity, and focus.“
“We need to focus on working, continue working with our feet on the ground. To achieve results and stay ahead of the competition, we need to make significant sacrifices.”
He continues, “Last year, we earned 72 points despite enormous difficulties. The players were very good and showed unity in tough times. This year, with one game a week, we have more time to prepare for matches. Tonight, we played a good game both in terms of character and technique.”
Allegri reiterates the objective of securing a top-four spot, which he elaborates on: “We must understand that reaching the top four this year is very challenging; there is great competitiveness. Inter, Napoli, and Milan are above the others. Our target is 76 points so we can qualify for the Champions League, our goal is to play there in the next season.
