“It was important to win today against Lecce at their house, which is not easy. Our goal continues to be the Champions League and keeping the gap over the fifth.”
“After the victory against Lecce and temporarily surpassing Inter, Massimiliano Allegri remains grounded but also reveals that there is a possibility of winning the Scudetto. In football, nothing is impossible. You must believe in yourself and aim for the win while working to make the impossible possible,’ explained the Juventus coach, who reached 300 Serie A victories as a manager. ‘We need to give our best, and if someone does better, we should congratulate them.’
‘We’re training to win as many games as possible and understanding how to manage the matches,’ continued Allegri. ‘We’ve grown a lot in this aspect and we have a lot of confidence when we play. We are also in better physical shape and more aware of our strength.’
Analyzing the game against Lecce, Allegri said, ‘It was a challenging match tonight. In the first half, they ran and pressed, causing us difficulties because we didn’t make good choices with some passes. Then, when they tired, we remained composed, continued to play, and won.’
‘After the second goal, there was a moment when we lowered the intensity,’ Max continued. ‘Matches are long, and just one goal can complicate everything because it can psychologically turn the game around. The players were very good for closing the game and scoring the third goal.’
Speaking about his return to Juventus, Allegri said, ‘When I returned to Turin, there was a bit of presumption in the first year. We thought we could immediately return to winning, but it wasn’t the case. I got used to being on the bench, analyzing the game, making substitutions, and we all grew together.’ Allegri noted the team’s journey, stating, ‘The journey began in 2021. It’s work that started from afar. This year, Giuntoli also joined, giving us a big hand.'”
