Allegri: 'It was a battle with Roma'
By Football Italia staff

Max Allegri praised some of the Juventus unsung heroes after beating Roma and urged focus ahead of the Super Cup with Milan.

The Bianconeri have gone seven points clear at the top of the table after Gonzalo Higuain’s solo effort saw off Roma 1-0.

“I was angry at the final whistle because we did not deal with our lead very well at all towards the end,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

“Roma are very physical and we ran a few too many risks on set plays. I was cross with myself, as we should not have given Roma those opportunities. It’s another victory, we have 42 points with two games to play before the midway stage of the season.

“It was important to win tonight, we have Roma seven points behind us, but there’s a long way to go this term.”

Juve have made history by matching their own all-time Serie A record of 25 consecutive home wins.

“I am not remotely interested in records, as they mean very little. I am interested in being top of the table at the end of the season.

“It was a good match, hard-fought and I compliment all 22 players who took the field. I kept Mario Mandzukic to the end so he could engage in the final battle.”

Juventus can win their first silverware of the campaign too, as on December 23 they take on Milan in Doha for the Italian Super Cup.

“Let us enjoy this success and then see what happens. It’s important to go into the Super Cup game against Milan with the right mentality. We lost to them in Serie A this season and this is a one-off game, we’ve got no second chance.

“Miralem Pjanic got a knock to the hip, hopefully he’ll be able to recover in time. Daniele Rugani had a great performance to keep Edin Dzeko quiet. Alex Sandro didn’t put a foot wrong when defending and can become extraordinary.

“Stefano Sturaro played in a very Arturo Vidal style fighting against the Roma midfield and winning many duels, which was not easy up against Daniele De Rossi, Kevin Strootman and Radja Nainggolan.”

And who says so?

Of course you can complain, just don't exaggerate and act like we are going to get relegated because of not wiping the floor with Roma.
who said we are going to get relegated?


this is the problem with you people. you are acting like professional victims

any criticisim is labeled as being ungrateful.

for example someone posts an extreme criticisim bordering on ridiculous, and suddenly it is a universal thing that all critics are whiners.

they look for excuses and reasons when there are non. "our mid sucks ass" =/= "juve didnt deserve to win"

unless you are a professional victim.

Bonucci is non-existent in aerial duels. Chiellini can only win duels by fouling and not getting caught by the ref. Barzagli is ok, he uses tight marking and good positioning to throw off headers.

Rugani is the only one that actually can climb and win headers clean.
