“You have to suffer so that you can win, congratulations to Fiorentina because they played a great game.”
After the narrow victory against Fiorentina, Massimiliano Allegri seemed pleased with his team’s performance: “I am satisfied with the 3 points and our performance against a strong Fiorentina,” the Juve coach explained to DAZN.
“We always need to look forward, but we shouldn’t talk about the Scudetto as our objective. Inter, Milan, and Napoli are ahead of us,” he added.
“Against Verona, we played a more technical game, while today was a different match. Sometimes you have to suffer to win games,” Allegri continued, shifting the focus back to the match against Fiorentina. “We had some difficulty with the ball possession. I must give credit to Fiorentina because they played a great game. With them, the important thing is not to break the game open and not let them play in an open field. We defend very well in the box.”
Then, Allegri made a few comments about individual players. “Kean had a good game, and then we needed Vlahovic and Milik. The substitutions helped us because we slowed down the pace, and Fiorentina lost their composure. I am pleased with Miretti’s goal. He is sometimes criticized for his performances, but he has significant qualities. He has already grown a lot.”
Inter? First, we have to face Cagliari. The league is very long,” the Juventus coach continued. “We know our limits, and we are working on them. However, we also have important qualities. Inter is a team built to win the Scudetto, and they deserve respect,” he added.
