Answers on the future: Allegri passes the ball to Giuntoli
It is still unclear whether Massimiliano Allegri will be the Juventus coach again next season. At the end of the match against Roma è the coach was asked what plans he had for the future: "I do not know, you have to ask the club. I am focused on Salernitana and I hope to return to Rome for the Cup final with the Champions League already won. They don't ask me what I'll do next year only when I return home to Livorno…".
Juventus and Roma drew 1-1 despite numerous chances on both sides: "I was angry becauseé we risked losing a game that we failed to win despite several favorable situations. We could not lose, with the draw we would have kept the lead in the standings. Soccer è beastly, there's when everything goes right for you and when everything goes wrong. After the knockout in Milan and the ugly defeat to Udinese we collapsed. We knew Inter were stronger, we had 12 points on the chasers and when you lose sight of the main goal you tend to slow down. Then the crucial players had problems, we had to play always with 4 midfielders…".
"The club will evaluate at the end of the season, now we have to focus on Sunday’s game, which è a match ball, and then on the Coppa Italia final with Atalanta. There'è a very good base, we lacked midfielders: having Pogba even for half an hour makes a difference because he's a scary player, Fagioli would have served as an alternative. I learned from an early age that the midfield è important: if it works well, the attackers do well; if it works badly, the defense is not è protected. Our people did a great job and never backed down" concluded Allegri.
