Max Allegri full post match press conference vs Sampdoria

Massimiliano Allegri spoke at a press conference after the Sampdoria match.

This Juventus team is showing a lot of character…

“Tonight was not an easy game, at 2-0 it had simplified but games last 95/100 minutes. Then we stretched ourselves, we didn’t stop the first counterattack. I think it’s part of inexperience, young players bring enthusiasm and technique, we needed to stay still there.

“Miretti and Fagioli played a great game, even Enzo did well. But without making mistakes, the game would have slipped away. The team had a good second half, we had a different attitude, we were shorter. Important victory that allows us to work well ahead of Freiburg.”

How are Bonucci and Bremer?

“Bonucci took a knock and will undergo examinations tomorrow, Bremer has discomfort in the tendon but nothing serious.”

Rabiot is becoming more and more important for this team…

“Adrien has become very good, he has matured well. He can play in the two midfield positions, in the three, he has a different engine. Now he is also good at closing the action. He can only improve.”

An opinion on Soulè?

“I’m happy because he scored a goal. He had made a nice play before. He had a significant impact because he cleaned up the game technically. He is a technical player, in the game he transforms. I’m happy.”

Can Pogba and Chiesa return for the Freiburg match?

“Pogba, no for sure, Chiesa we’ll see.”

Happy with the support of the public for Vlahovic?

“Dusan needs to stay calm, technically he played a good game. He needs to find that balance, as I always tell him, to be calmer and less hasty. Something he did well in the last twenty minutes. I’m very happy, he will find the goal soon.”

How is Di Maria?

“Di Maria didn’t do anything, he will return to the team on Tuesday and then be available.”

How do you feel looking at the standings?

“The standings give us satisfaction, the goal is to remain in the top four and aim for second place. A few weeks ago we were fighting for survival, now we are seventh in the current standings, at the same time we need to work to achieve our maximum goals for what we have done on the pitch, which is 53 points.”
