Allegri compares Pjanic to Hernanes, claims Juve need midfield reinforcement - VIDEO -
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri talked to media after Juventus’ 2-2 draw against Espanyol (watch goals and highlights). His words are reported by our reporter at Modena’s Braglia stadium Nicola Balice.
“We are going to start the season on Sunday and we have to be ready. Tonight’s clash was a good training. In the first half we struggled to find space and we made some defensive mistakes. However, we made the most of the chances we created.”
“Higuain’s not fit just like all the other players who started later, they are all going to reach the same level as their teammates. A trident with Dybala Higuain and Mandzukic? It’s a idea, they have the right skills to play all together, but everyone has to be willing to sacrifice.”
“If we are to sign one or two new midfielders, we need him them to improve our level; we can’t sign players who are at the same level of those who are here already, it would be nonsense.”
“Pjanic can play in the regista role in front of defence, he can became one of the best players in that position. He’s similar to Hernanes. He [Hernanes] struggled in that position at the beginning of last season, now he looks like another player when he plays there, Pjanic will be one of the best in that role.”
