Massimiliano Allegri analyzes the draw Sporting Lisbon worth the passage to the semi-final of the Europa League. Here are his words:
A beautiful day for Juventus: the 15 points returned and a semifinal won with great suffering, even at the end…
“It was a good day, especially the next round, with difficulty, in the end we suffered. We played a good game especially in the second half, we did some good things at the start, we have to do better in the finals. But I would say that the boys behaved well, we knew of the difficulties, we were a bit lucky in the end and we brought home this good result, on a day where the 15 points were returned to us in the standings. weeks in the Europa League and diving into the league, because we’ve lost three of the last four games. It’s also true that we’ve made a lot of effort and the standings have conditioned us a bit, but now we need to confirm ourselves in the top 4 of the standings” .
Did you expect something more from Chiesa? Several restarts were misused.
“No, no, everyone was good, who did a little better… let’s say that the three in midfield played a really good game today”.
“I honestly expected Sevilla, because in any case they are a mangy team, they play well, they dribble, they are a club that has won many Europa Leagues, so they have an advantage. The signals in the last match were in favor of Sevilla, then in football everything is there but my feeling was that Sevilla would continue”.

The three midfield is essential to support the three up front…
“Apart from the fact that I really like playing with the three midfielders, then due to the characteristics of the players I have available… against Sporting there was a need to open the game. We did well but occasionally we rushed this play inside the area. Instead, when you’re there, you have to have the patience to wait a moment to also go to the conclusion from outside. We shoot very little from outside, it’s something we have to improve. Behind Alex Sandro is a little firmer and Cuadrado is free to go”.
Did you expect this Rabiot?
“He has the qualities but he can still improve, sometimes he gets close to the area and doesn’t shoot. He needs to improve but he did it in dribbling and he has become important, extraordinary.”
