Juventus, Massimiliano Allegri admits, “We were chickens.”

The words of Massimiliano Allegri

Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus coach, analyzed the home draw against Atalanta to the microphones of Dazn: "We played a good game against a good Atalanta, we conceded two goals in which they were good but we could do better. We played a much more aggressive second half, with anger and technique. We definitely need to improve the defensive phase when we are ahead, we play good games forò we take goals too easily".

"These are moments, we have to remain calm, we gained a point in the standings over Bologna and we kept Atalanta at eleven points – he added -. Our goal è to finish among the top four, ten points are missing. I cannot reproach the boys for anything, they had a good reaction and we have to be proud of that, then we canò do better forò the commitment of the team this year has never been lacking. Today was not an easy game, this result is worth a lot. It does not seem, but it is worth a lot".

"Today we set up the game trying to build four in the back, to find spaces in front since they play man-to-man. Cambiaso comes a lot inside the field, McKennie è good in insertions. Do we lack a Koopmeiners? No, absolutely not. Let’s say today we were a bit chicken on the free kick and light on the second goal as well. In the second half we defended better in the open field, near the area worse. We were too wide, while in the first half they never shot at goal. In these situations we need to improve".

"I am happy becauseé he gave a good performance, in the second half better than the first – Allegri commented on Milik -. The goal of finishing among the top four must not escape us, then we have the Coppa Italia. Young people are growing, playing at Juve is not è simple".
