Juventus coach Allegri: We defeated a good Fiorentina team

Juventus coach Max Allegri was happy with victory against Fiorentina.

Juve won 1-0 thanks to Federico Gatti's tap-in.

Allegri said, “We work every day to improve. There are also moments psychologically, as we had not won in Serie A for a while. We ran no risks in the first half, had three goals disallowed for offside by a matter of centimetres, then also created chances in the second.

“It's true that we risked conceding the equaliser late on after a technical error, but I would not reproach the lads for anything.

“They are having a good season, we are doing everything we can to get as many points as possible. We kept a second consecutive clean sheet and victory, so that is important progress."

He added: "In football there are two teams, with two different jerseys, we are the Bianconeri, they are the Viola. We want to keep the ball for 90 minutes, have 30 shots on goal, but I don't think anyone can do that even in their dreams.

“We know what our limitations are. At this stage of the season, the most important thing is the result. I don't see many teams who avoid allowing a single shot on target, we do our best, but the lads are doing well."
