“We could have done better in the last half hour and we took risks in two or three situations, but I’m happy with what we’re doing: the whole team strongly wants the Champions League”: this is what Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said after the victory. against Fiorentina. “I knew that the second half wouldn’t be easy, it was a two-faced Juve also because the opponents were there – he continued in the press conference – and we could have doubled the lead in the open field”. In the end, Szczesny also and above all had a hand in the victory: “He made an extraordinary save, we risked capitulating – the comment on the Pole’s intervention, who with the help of the crossbar saved on Nico Gonzalez by blocking the three points – and he has grown a lot, perhaps because he is getting old: he speaks little but he speaks well, he continues to demonstrate that he is among the top goalkeepers in Europe.”
Vincenzo Italiano regrets his Fiorentina’s start to the match: “We lost the match in those first 20 minutes, we took to the pitch too timid and too respectful of Juve – the coach’s analysis – then we loosened up and put a strong defense like that of the Bianconeri is in difficulty: Szczesny made an amazing save, we have to start again from this second half.” The Viola, however, extended their negative streak without victories in the championship to four: “Let’s also say that we faced all the big teams, we had a terrible calendar and we are still inferior to these teams – concludes the Viola coach – but we managed to put everyone under: playing like in the second half we will be able to cause anyone difficulty, I am convinced that we will still get great satisfaction in the three competitions.”
