Juventus, clear words from Allegri on Chiesa and Vlahovic

Allegri speaks on the eve of the challenge with Freiburg

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke on the eve of the Europa League match against Freiburg: the coach of the Tuscans addressed the situation of Federico Chiesa, who has found very little space in the last four matches.

The former Fiorentina player could play as a center forward: “We have played with Chiesa as a center forward, he is very good, he is technical and of a very high level, he is a striker,” Allegri explained. “That he can start from the outside, inside the field, but he is a striker. He can play center forward as he did last year. He has all the characteristics to do that.”

On Vlahovic’s moment, struggling in the goal area: “Of Vlahovic I am happy, being a center forward for Juventus has different responsibilities. Dusan has grown, he is growing, like all players there are moments where things go more or less well. But he often played badly when he scored, while on Sunday he played a good game without scoring. Tomorrow maybe everything will be seen differently from the outside.”

On Di Maria’s employment: “He is different from the others when he has the ball, he is fine physically, tomorrow he will play as a starter. We’ll see if he brings it to the end of the game or not.”
