Daniel Rugani 🇮🇹
“It was a relief, a goal of great importance that got us out of a difficult moment in which we were struggling to get out. It is the first time we have faced a situation like this this year. This is a growing group, new to these types of situations, in my opinion. Unfortunately, we found ourselves in this situation, but luckily we managed to resolve it. Now we have to be careful not to go backwards, but continue our climb. It’s important to win such an important match. It weighs a lot because unfortunately these moments can happen, in an instant you find yourself in it. Maybe you have five great months, it really has you took five months to build, then in 15 days you ruin yourself or in any case you risk putting yourself in danger. We also had the chance today to bring it home and in my opinion this must be a point of departure for the next matches.”
Carlos Alcaraz 🇦🇷
“The feelings are obviously very good, especially because we wanted to give the three points to our fans, things that we were not able to do last week. And then this final left us with an emotion, an incredible adrenaline. plays almost all positions in midfield, I’m used to playing in midfield, but I also really like playing behind the nine, going forward, that’s something I like a lot because I can attack too. I fit in very well and the coach gives me a lot of confidence, but not only him, also the staff and all my teammates. This obviously helps me to enter this team and this championship, trying to be an ever better player for Juve.”
Massimiliano Allegri 🇮🇹
“The second half was a solid performance. We started well, but then we conceded two goals. In the first half we made a mistake and in the box it was one against five. Rabiot injured on the second goal, so we “I should have had the cunning to stop the match with a foul. In the second half, we were calmer, we had chances and we could have scored earlier. Rugani scored a great goal. We absolutely must focus on the present and the club will look after the future, as it always has. We are 9 points behind Bologna, but there are still many direct clashes. Reaching second place would be a very important result for “The growth of the team, and there is a semi-final of the Italian Cup to play. It was essential to find victory again and not get used to losing .”
What went wrong?
“We couldn’t absorb the cuts behind our defense, even when we were well positioned. We need to find solidity in that aspect and work on it. It was important to get back to winning ways today, because the pressure increases even more on Juventus when the players fail to get results. We accumulated 57 points, which is a lot. Today’s match was another important test, a different match, and we did well done. It’s another small step forward that the team will take. There was still a minute and a half left, at that point perhaps caught up in the euphoria of the goal, we could have been a little inattentive, given that we conceded two avoidable goals: in one we defended poorly and unfortunately we have to start defending in a different way, because in the last seven games we have conceded six goals in the first half and especially today “today with a certain ease. In the second, there was Rabiot stopped in the middle of the field, they started again and we had to be cunning to stop the ball.”
Your future seems to be here, any reaction?
“I’m happy because anyway we work well with the club, I agree with everything, it’s normal that at this moment we need to think about what the future will be, what the present would be , because we did not reach the Champions League, so we have to think about it. Then, I have a contract until 2025, I said it yesterday in the conference, I repeated it, I am at Juventus for 10 years and I am proud of it. “I work for this club, for this team, for the owners, with a lot of dedication, love and passion, because now I am also emotionally attached and I don’t know not whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”
A word on Chiesa’s bad match?
“He played as a second striker, then we struggled to get going again and I widened him to give Kostic more space. Federico is coming from a period where he was playing less, he needs to get his fitness back but he’s an important player. “In football you have to move and find space, he feels more comfortable on the wing, but he stays a little too far from the action. He didn’t do badly in the first half, he needs to get his fitness back, he knows that himself and he needs to stay calm because it will be important from here until the end.”
Worried about injuries to McKennie and Rabiot?
“He dislocated his shoulder, which happens from time to time. I think Rabiot has a broken toe. We’ll see but today it was important to win and start preparing for the match against Napoli. “
A word on Vlahovic’s performance
“It was the growth of Dusan, because when he played matches some time ago he was always nervous, he always lived with the anxiety of scoring, but now he is much more balanced, he is in the pace of the match, he never leaves the match and that is very important. Now he scores and we are happy. He finds good form without ever leaving the match as happened against Inter.”
