Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri has come out to defend his players’ poor play in their 4-0 loose to English Premier League side Chelsea following. The Italians were humiliated by the UEFA Champions League defending champions as they were dominated from the start of the game to the end.
According to the head coach, he said: “I think the first half was good. After the break, they continued their press, while we were a bit too weak on the second and third goals.” He also said: “We allowed a few too many corners, where they are strong physically. We had a few situations where we could’ve done better. It’sIt’s disappointing to concede four goals, but the objective was achieved, and now we must think about Saturday’sSaturday’s game with Atalanta.”
Massimiliano Allegri also spoke about their missed chances. He admitted they gave the ball away too cheaply by trying to make vertical passes too quickly rather than keeping the ball. The pattern has worked for them in other games, but the Tuesday night game was not just their day.
He said they lost not because of his bad. He made it clear that his side was by no means bad in the first half. His player lost confidence after mistakes they made in conceding the second and third goals. He said his side has already qualified, so what’s next now is preparing for their next game.
