Juventus coach Max Allegri was pleased with their 3-0 win at Salernitana.
A Dusan Vlahovic penalty, plus goals from Filip Kostic and Angel Di Maria, saw Juve to victory on Tuesday night.
” look at the reality of the situation. We amassed 41 points, but we’ve got only 26, so to reach 40 and safety we need another 14, then we’ll see where we are. Now I think we’re level with Monza, the objective is to get into the top half of the table,” Allegri told DAZN.
“The lads gave a strong response, we had a good 60 minutes, but got a bit superficial after going 3-0 up and allowed too many shots on goal. We were static in our positions, didn’t move around enough and the players know we must absolutely do better.
“This is the step we need to take. The team did well for an hour, was aggressive and pressing, but when we started controlling it in our own half, passing it back to Szczesny, taking too many touches, we let Salernitana back into the game. That is not acceptable. We saw this too many times this season, for example against Monza and Salernitana earlier this season, where we didn’t have the right approach.
“The first 10 minutes we tended to pass it too much down the right, so we need to improve our passing, be smoother and keep it simple.”
