What They're Saying
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri (via Football Italia): "I am very happy with the team, but I still see how much more we can do in future, as when we all move together to cover the spaces it becomes difficult for opponents. There are still moments when we fall asleep and run too many risks in defense."
