Allegri: 'Pogba in Madrid...'
Max Allegri will “evaluate” whether to start Paul Pogba at Real Madrid after making his comeback against Cagliari.
The French midfielder had been out of action for 52 days, but returned with a goal in the 1-1 draw.
“It’s a shame we didn’t win and conceded a goal that we didn’t defend well,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“It wasn’t easy, as many of them hadn’t played for a while. Pogba did well, he needed this to rediscover the timing and movement of a match situation.”
This was a test of Pogba’s fitness ahead of the Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu on Wednesday. Will he start?
“We’ll evaluate it. He has been working well for two days in training, he’s young and has a strong physique.
“I don’t know what choices Carlo Ancelotti will make. Real Madrid have great technique and we must have an attacking approach, as we didn’t make the most of four or five chances in the first leg.
“We need to score a goal there, otherwise it’ll be tough. Do I have doubts over my line-up? More than doubts, I have things to evaluate. There is the risk it’ll go to extra time, so we need fresh legs.”
Allegri had been lambasted by the Juventus fans when he replaced Antonio Conte over the summer, but they thanked him with a banner full of hearts today. Was there a tear in his eye?
“It was a lovely day and it’s normal to feel emotional. I am not made of steel, even if I might seem harsh...
“This is my second Scudetto with two different clubs and the title is important for everyone.”
