'Second a failure for Roma’



Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri believes Roma’s insistence that they will lift the Scudetto would make second place a failure.

The Giallorossi have been vocal about their belief that they will lift the title in May, with Coach Rudi Garcia, general manager Franco Baldissoni and President James Pallotta all stating publicly that the Lupi will emerge victorious.

Roma currently lie three points behind Juventus in Serie A, and Bianconeri Coach Massimiliano Allegri believes the pressure is all on Roma now.

“Roma believe they can win the title?” Allegri reflected in a lengthy interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I think they really believe what they say, and they’ve done well.

“Roma are strong, and are coming off the back of a great season where they finished second.

“The fact is that they can’t hide now. The pressure will be too strong for them, because now another second place wouldn’t be good enough.

“It would be a big disappointment, a kind of small failure.”

Allegri also echoed the sentiments of Zdenek Zeman by insisting that Napoli are still in the hunt for the Scudetto.

“I’ve always seen Napoli as a dangerous rival for the title, even when they were going through a rough patch.

“Also, if they’d scored a couple of penalties which they had, Benitez’s men would already be up there with ourselves and Roma.”

Allegri: 'Scudetto and last eight’


Massimiliano Allegri has set out his goals for Juventus this season, and takes issue with Antonio Conte’s recent comments.

The Bianconeri have won Serie A for the last three years in a row, but have disappointed in Europe and were knocked out at the group stage of the Champions League last season.

Allegri replaced the man who oversaw that campaign - Antonio Conte - on the Juve bench this summer, and is targeting another League triumph.

“What would I consider a good season? The Scudetto and the Champions League knockout stages,” Allegri revealed to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I want to establish Juventus firmly in the top eight clubs in Europe.

“Of course we know we can’t compete financially with the huge behemoths which dominate at the moment, but we’re ready to make good progress.

“You never know what can happen, once you reach arrive at the latter stages…

“We are calm, everything is in our hands and we go forward with the right amount of tension.

“I’m not just thinking about qualifying, I believe we can win the group and avoid a prohibitive draw in the next round.”

Allegri’s predecessor took over the Italian national team job after vacating the Bianconeri bench in the summer, and this week criticised Italian clubs sides for not working players hard enough.

Allegri takes issue with Conte’s comments, pointing out the importance of controlling possession.

“We are not lacking in intestity,” Allegri insisted.

“The fact is that you can do different things in possession, moving the ball faster or slower. My mentor [Giovanni] Galeone told me 'If you’ve got the ball, the worst you can do is 0-0’.

“Basically, you can’t play 90 minutes with the pedal to the metal, get forward at every opportunity and think about shooting all the time.

“There are times when you need to slow down and take the sting out of the game.”

Finally some wining mentality

Allegri explains formation change


Massimiliano Allegri has explained his deviation from Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 system, and praises Gigi Buffon.

The Juventus Coach had initially persisted with the three at the back system which Conte employed to take the Bianconeri to three consecutive Scudetti, but recently switched to a 4-3-2-1 system for wins over Parma and Olympiacos.

“Even in the summer we experimented with a back four,” Allegri explained to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“But injuries slowed the process of change. What is the best system?

“I think two players in support of a striker is the best solution, but the boys can also play with a diamond midfield.

“I have an important quality in my squad, they’re flexible.

“The trips to Genoa, Sassuolo and Empoli were out worst performances and we had a back three.

“I decided after those games it was the right time to change course.”

It was announced today that Juventus Captain Gigi Buffon has signed a new deal with the club, and Allegri praised his captain.

“Who has impressed me most in this first few months at Juventus?

“[Kingsley] Coman has incredible quality and Morata has everything to become one of the best strikers in the world.

“I’ve already spoken about the youngsters, after that I’d point to Gigi Buffon.

“Despite his age [36], he has the same enthusiasm and hunger as the younger lads.”
