Allegri post Atalanta-Juve: "Why Iling and not Kostic. To Pogba I say.."

The Bianconeri coach spoke at the end of the match won 2-0 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, which earned 2nd place in the standings: all the statements

BERGAMO - "R Racist Choirs?Unfortunately, those moments there, regardless of whether we are black, white or yellow, are bad moments, because they are not good anyway, they must be fought and you must continue to fight them. But not giving him so much weight. Today the guys were good because, as behavior on the field, we didn't waste nervous energy and we have to keep working on that. Is the admonition to Vlahovic a mistake? Those who are responsible are thinking about these things. I just say that Dusan came in well and these racist chants must not be there and we must remain calm to try to ignore them, it is not easy, but we must do it". It is the thought, expressed to the microphones of Sky Sport, of Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri, after the episodes of racism - with victim Vlahovic - on the occasion of the 2-0 inflicted to Gasperini's Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo: "To the left we had an extra man so we were good at developing the game from The second half we started well then we started to slow down the game and play too many vertical balls and we lost three or four balls and Atalanta took courage. Instead we had to be patient to move the ball from one side to the other. In the second half we had Iling and Alex Sandro taller and we had Rabiot in numerical superiority and so we were very good. We won a tough game, against a strong team."


Atalanta-Juve, Allegri on Iling, Pogba, Vlahovic and Chiesa

"For the World Under 20s Iling stays with us. As for the game he made a technical and mature game, with speed. Like all young people he has up and down. There was a moment after the injury that caused some effort he looked like his distant cousin. Then he went back to being him, he has quality and technique and above all he is very lucid when he is inside the area. Pogba? Paul with the qualities he has can't and shouldn't lose those balls. Then I get angry and he says to me, 'Mister, stay calm.' But in those moments there is little to stay calm, you have to keep the ball. Vlahovic got in well, he was a little disponsponsed and that can do him good. Today was the first heat, it wasn't easy. Chiesa came in and did well, both he and Dusan worked well in not possessing the ball, lowering themselves and finding themselves for the counterattack. Federico on the technical and stop level, of passes is extraordinary. Playing in that position he has improved tactically, but from a tactical point of view he definitely has to work and improve," Allegri continues.


Allegri still on Atalanta-Juve, Rugani and Sevilla

"How does Juve get to the match with Sevilla? Sevilla are strong and have experience and are used to playing these semi-finals because they have won so many Europa Leagues. So you have to prepare well. We are all full. Rugani had an extraordinary match and Zapata never managed to shoot on goal. Daniele defensively when he is inside the area hardly makes the opponents shoot. I'm very happy, it's thanks to the boys, it wasn't easy, because they played so much. Today the game is over 0-2 but we could have scored before having a little more lucidity. We need to improve on this. With Lecce we kept the game up until the end and we made too much mistakes. Today Federico was good the other day against Lecce in 4 against 2 he left the ball there and we had to be more lucid. Because in this period the counterattacks are more difficult because the energies drop and it's hot. So the technique has to come out," Allegri concludes.
