The Juventus coach was satisfied at the end of the match which his team won 3-0 and brought the Bianconeri back to -2 behind leaders Inter: “It wasn’t easy, they scored four goals in the first leg. Inter hare? Like in the games there are those who run away and those who chase. We move forward in small steps.” On Yildiz: “Few people know how to stop the ball and treat it like he does.” On Mourinho’s dismissal: “I’m sorry, he did a great job in Rome too”
“I’m happy with the result, with the performance, especially because we played a mature match against a team that has quality players.” These are the words of Massimiliano Allegri on Sky Sport at the end of the match won by Juventus against Sassuolo. A 3-0 which brings the Bianconeri back to -2 from the top of the ranking occupied by Inter. “In the only situations in which we let them play we risked conceding a goal. Szczesny made an extraordinary save,” said Allegri on Sassuolo. On Juve’s moment: “I don’t know where we can get to, today was important to put fifth place at 16 points“, now we need to think about Lecce where it is always difficult to win.”
“Yildiz has innate qualities”
On the individuals: “Whoever came in did well and I’m happy, we have to maintain the team spirit and move forward. Tonight I said that it was important to press and recover lost balls, they were also very good at understanding the moments of the match. We were mature despite many young people with less experience“. Then on Yildiz, still a starter alongside Vlahovic: “Few people stop and treat the ball like he does, he has innate qualities and has goals in his legs, he will soon have a down moment because it is normal for him to be like this, he is 18 years old. Now Chiesa and Kean are back and I’m happy about this because we have to make a difference up front.”
“Well Vlahovic. Inter hare? We’re chasing…”
On the scorer of the brace: “Vlahovic played well, he had a bad half hour against Frosinone in the Italian Cup but he knows it. Today he played a more lucid and calmer match, he has plenty of time ahead of him to understand the mistakes he makes.” Finally on Inter defined as “Marotta’s hare”: “Like in cops and robbers games, the robbers run away and the guards chase. We have to take small steps…”
“Mou sacked? I’m sorry”
Allegri also speaks don the dismissal of Mourinho, replaced by De Rossi at Roma: “I’m sorry because Italian football loses an important coachfor what he has shown in his career but also at Roma where he did an extraordinary job.” Then he adds: “From the outside it all seems easy but the results show that he did a great job and I wish him good luck. I also wish De Rossi good luck as he is at the beginning of his career.”
