Juventus wing-back Cuadrado: Players more at fault than Allegri

Juventus wing-back Juan Cuadrado says there's no excuses for their Champions League defeat at Maccabi Hafia.

The result has heaped further pressure on coach Max Allegri.

“Unfortunately, these things happen in football. We must try to turn the page as soon as possible, get our heads on Serie A now, as we can only emerge from this situation if we are united," Cuadrado told Sky Italia.

“There is the risk of elimination, but we can get out of this situation if we are united. As long as there's a chance, we must believe to the end, keep working, give 100 per cent and hope things change.

“The coach is doing everything to get us back on track, we are all a team and it's more the fault of those of us on the field. We must give more, starting from the more experienced ones.

“We need to have faith in ourselves as a team and a family. We have emerged from many difficult situations before and I think this is an opportunity to do it again."
