Allegri: “A performance full of character”

Old habits die hard for Juve. As soon as there’s a trophy up for grabs, the club begin the season with a win. But the team has changed since the night in which we won our tenth Coppa Italia and a new squad is being built. Massimiliano Allegri is well aware of that and he couldn’t hide his delight at the Super Cup win and his side’s performance.

“I’m delighted above all for the boys. We needed a game like this, with character, good defensive shape and goalscoring chances, which were not in short supply.”

It was a tough match against strong opposition on a tricky surface: “The pitch was dreadful and that definitely had an impact on the quality of football and Lazio were good opponents. That’s why it was essential to start again with a win.”

Trophies help a squad to gel: “Success is healthy and the young guys are fitting in well. We’re at a stage where we need to be patient. The club has done good work in the transfer market and now we’re building a Juve side with a future for the next four to five years. We have a tough start to the season coming up with Udinese and Roma but we’re working well with the whole staff to make sure we’re ready.”
