The Juventus coach after the victory against Lecce: “We were balanced on the field without conceding any shots, then we seized the right opportunity.”
Match analysis against Lecce
After the narrow victory over Lecce, Massimiliano Allegri explained to DAZN: “Today, it was important to win, especially after the dramatic defeat to Sassuolo. It wasn’t easy against Lecce, we started well, conceded little, and maintained balance on the field without allowing any shots on ourgoal. We showed patience and managed to capitalize on the right opportunity.”
“We need to play the ball backward less, especially in the final minutes. We have to manage the ball better, but overall the boys did well,” Allegri continued. “But it wasn’t easy mentally after a loss like that (refering to Sassuolo defeat).”
Scudetto contenders?
One week ago you were saying we are Inter’s opponent for the title, then last few days we were just horrible (refering to the loss against Sassuolo). We know where we stand and we know what we want and that is the Champions League qualification
I will repeat “Inter, Milan, and Napoli are currently better equipped than us to win the title,” he continued. “This year, we have many players with little experience, but we have gained some speed and players who can grow.”
The players & individual performaces
“Rabiot has improved a lot, Cambiaso was a bit tense in the first half but then he improved during the game. Fagioli and Miretti are in a growing path. Weah is adapting well, and we’ve recovered McKennie, who brings us strength,” Allegri continued, discussing individual performances. “Rugani had an extraordinary performance, he’s been with Juve for eight years and deserved this game.” He’s used to it. When you’re not used to it, the ball can feel hot on your feet.”
Juve’s attack: Milik and Chiesa
Finally, a few words about Chiesa and Milik. “Chiesa has become more unpredictable for the opponents this year, he doesn’t play only wide,” Max explained. “Federico has extraordinary technique and has improved a lot this year.” “Milik is an extraordinary striker. I have five very good forwards, including Yildiz. They are all working well, and today, Arek had a great game.”
