Juventus coach Allegri: Marvellous evening for Dybala and Chiellini

Juventus coach Max Allegri was happy for Paulo Dybala and Giorgio Chiellini after Monday night's 2-2 draw with Lazio.

Both players were given an emotional send off for the final home game of the season.

“It was a marvellous evening full of emotions, it was a night for Dybala and Chiellini," Allegri told Sky Italia.

“Chiellini is quitting, he gave Italian, European and world football so much in terms of passion and love for his job. I think everyone in youth academies should study videos of Chiellini to learn how to defend.

“On a personal level, he gave me so much. When I arrived at Juventus, it was him, Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci and Marchisio who let me understand Juventus and helped me.

“Paulo was an important player for seven years at Juventus. He was a child when he arrived, I feel like I helped raise him. He earned his place and the fans quite rightly gave him an extraordinary tribute that he deserved. He gave a great deal to Juventus with passion and class."
