Juventus return to winning ways as coach Allegri praises players' tenacity



Juventus scored 3 goals in the 21st round of Serie A today, relying on Vlahovic and Krstic to score 3 goals, and finally defeated Salernitana 3-0, which also ended the 3 rounds of invincibility. After the game, Juventus coach Allegri also praised the players for their tenacity when the team faced various difficulties when interviewed by the media.


Juventus failed to win in the first 3 Serie A games, including a 1-5 defeat to Napoli and a 0-2 home defeat to Monza. Deducted as many as 15 points.


However, Allegri's team relied on the outstanding performance of Vlahovic and Krstic in the away game today, and finally succeeded in scoring a precious 3 points. After returning to the winning track, Juventus rose to 10th in the standings with 26 points, but fell behind Lazio in 4th place by as many as 13 points. But coach Allegri still praised the tenacity of the players in difficult times.


"Every player counts"


"The players have a responsibility and we can tell each other a lot of things, but at the same time I think it's not easy to keep your head clear in a championship game when you have 15 points deducted," Allegri said. We set some goals for ourselves, and that was the one we had in front of us. After that it was the semi-final against Inter in the Coppa Italia and qualifying for Europe."


"Winning is very important. We currently have 26 points, but no one will remember that we scored 41 points before. We will rise to third in the standings. You can watch the current standings."


In addition, Serbian star Vlahovic scored two goals in this game and indirectly assisted Krstic to score a goal, which also enabled Vlahovic to score 8 goals for Juventus in Serie A this season . And coach Allegri is also very happy to see that the striker has returned to his previous form, and at the same time brought important playing time for "Angel" Di Maria.


"If Angel Di Maria always played 60 minutes, I would be happy too, he is a champion. Vlahovic is recovering well and Keane has had big chances. We need this class of players and improve possession. The ability is also normal, we will play every three days after that, so every player is very important."
