The Juventus coach after the 2-0 draw: “I’m happy, arithmetically we’re in the Europa League. I’m sorry for Pogba, but he has broad shoulders and we’ll wait for him. Vlahovic? I’m happy with his performance”. And thinking about Sevilla: “We’re fine, you have to be good and you also need a bit of luck”
JUVE-CREMONESE 2-0: HIGHLIGHTS
Juve wins again, third success in a row in Serie A, solitary second place and 8 points margin over Milan’s fifth place. But also the knockout by Pogba who has just returned to the starting lineup: “I’m happy, arithmetically we are in the Europa League – Allegri says to Sky after the match -. Performance-wise it was a good match, the first half wasn’t easy because they closed all the spaces. We were going a little slow, then in the second we increased the engine revs. Once unlocked, there were spaces.”
“Pogba has broad shoulders”
On Pogba, why did he play from the start? “The will to let him play from 1′ was born a week ago – says Allegri -, after Sevilla I intended to let him play. With Cremonese it was the right match, where we would play in the opponent’s half and where technique was needed. I also wanted him to play to test him at the start of the match where the pace is different than at the end of the match when he entered the race. When you kick like this the quadriceps can go into protection, he felt a hole in that area. Sorry but Paul has broad shoulders and we’ll wait for him.”

“Optimists towards Seville”
Still on the singles: “I’m happy with Vlahovic’s performance, he made some good plays on a technical level, he came to meet, he missed a few balls. He didn’t have any chances to score. Church? In the first half he had some difficulties because they kept him well, in the second better “. So the mind projected to Seville:”There is optimism because the team is physically fit. It is difficult but you have to be confident. You have to be good and you also need a bit of luck.”
Paredes: “With Allegri we cleared ourselves up”
The Argentine also spoke after the match: “My best game since I’ve been at Juve? I think so” – he told Sky. On the subdued season: “That’s how it went, unfortunately. Life and football are made up of moments, both good and bad“. On the relationship with Allegri: “We talked and we clarified each other, now we just have to move forward together”. On the future: “I don’t know anything yet, I live day by day”.
