Allegri conference after Lazio-Juve | Gazzetta.it

“It wasn’t an easy match to interpret, we made gross mistakes on the goals. But the Italian Cup final is a very important goal for us, also for the rest of the championship”: this is what Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said after the match with Lazio. The coach, however, is not satisfied with the goal he has reached: “Now let’s move on to the championship: we haven’t yet achieved qualification for the Champions League and on Saturday we have a direct clash with Milan”.

“It was a painful match. We immediately conceded a goal on a dead ball. We had some chances and then we risked capitulating in the 45th minute. The team grew physically in the second half and created some favorable opportunities. It wasn’t easy to react after the disadvantage, we could have collapsed but the boys were good. We are in the final after three years, but now we have to focus on the championship because we have not yet achieved the objective. At the moment we are playing tough games, which we haven’t for a year and a half we played. Last year there was an unsuitable situation due to the chaos outside. This year we followed Inter until January, then there was the collapse and now we are forced to win.”

“There were gross errors on the goals, but this was an important match for the rest of the championship. The possible elimination would have left psychological consequences for the next matches. In these moments it is not easy for anyone, but they are opportunities for growth for the players guys I think that considering the two games we deserved the final.”
