Sevilla and Inter are now in the past and Juventus coach Massimo Allegri looks forward to the upcoming challenges with Cagliari and Palermo. The tactician has been speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow night’s clash against the Sardinian’s and calciomercato.com’s Nicola Balice was there.
 

ON THE MODULE OF PLAY – “I will decide after today’s workout because some of the players have played many games recently. I will fit the module of our play accordingly and there will be no drama, as a great team must be able to demonstrate different characteristics with the players available. You need time and the right balance and our objective is always to improve”.  

ON INTER-JUVE – “One of my worst in the last 30 years from a technical point of view. We gave the ball away far too often”.
 

ON PJANIC – “You are creating a problem that does not exist. For Bosnia he plays in front of the defence and he’s also played there for Spalletti at Roma. Sunday he had a good game and demonstrated the qualities he has”.
 

ON KHEDIRA & THE OTHERS – “Khedira has played seven consecutive games, something he has not done since 1994-95 (smile) it’s an important step forward. There is also Lemina, Asamoah and Hernanes (who deserves respect), they are all part of this project. With Sturaro and Marchisio still recovering we need everyone to play their part and it doesn’t help when the fans are booing Hernanes during his warm-up”.  

ON EXPERIMENTING - “I may also play Cuadrado, Dani Alves or Alex Sandro in the midfield”
 

ON RUGANI – “Tomorrow he will play. He is a guy that has performed well and he will find space in many of our matches. He has at least another 10 years ahead of him here”.
 

ON DYBALA – “He has played a lot last year and he’s playing many games now. The only thing missing from his game is a goal but he must stay calm, there is no problem for him. As soon as he starts scoring there will be no stopping him”.
 

ON BEING MORE ALERT – “When you concede goals in football it’s usually due to lack of attention. We need to improve not only in this area, but in all aspects of our game. The championship is not decided now and it’s not all about our result at the San Siro”.  

ON THE WRONG APPROACH – “With Cagliari it will be a different game and of course there will be a strong desire to get back on track. Of course we would like to have had 12 points on the board but we remain positive”.
 

ON HIGUAIN/MANDZUKIC – “There are more than 50 games to play in the season; it’s unthinkable that we would only play with Higuain and Dybala every week”.
