Massimiliano Allegri cashes in on Juventus’ confidence
The words of Massimiliano Allegri
Massimiliano Allegri spoke in a press conference ahead of Lazio-Juventus: "We have to be focused on the end of the season. We threw away so many points we had on the fifths. Now we have to be realistic. We only scored 13 points in the second half of the season and we have 9 games to consolidate Champions League qualification. Then there'è also the Italian Cup to play. Now we only think about that. I am happy that the club has confirmed its trust in me, but I had no doubts about that. Becauseé anyway with the societyé we are working and the societyé is planning what è the future. Now forò we have to be focused on the present. Ità will be tough in the final rush becauseé we have several direct clashes and we have lost so many points on the pursuers"
"In soccer you also live from these moments. We have to get back up and get results that will lead us to the Champions goal. The boys have to stay calm and peaceful. So far we have scored 59 points badly distributed between the first leg and the second leg, but I have nothing to reproach the team for. Now forò we have to come back and do something more to regain results and enthusiasm in the final part of the season. Many young people have grown up and also some more experienced players. There'è will to work. The team has never stopped trying to do well. In the last competitions we have not been able to do well and it should serve as a stimulus for us to do well in the last games"
"Scanavino’s words pleased me because heé represents the societyà. Criticism should always be accepted, especially in these moments. In soccer è this is how it is: if you win you are a good guy if you don’t win…. In soccer results count and we have done less in the second half of the season. Thirteen points are few. Soccer però always gives you the chanceà to overturn everything. We have to make sure that what is now è black becomes white. Juve must play in the Champions League next year. It's a goal that must not elude us".
