Not a great performance, but we got the result - Allegri
Kulusevski came off the bench and scored the winning goal against Zenit in the 86th minute to give Juventus their fourth consecutive 1-0 victory in all competitions.
“
It was important for the points, it wasn’t easy as Zenit clammed up in defence and we made a lot of errors in the final third. We slowed it down too much and allowed too many shots on goal with counter-attacks by losing the ball,”
Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.
“We should’ve controlled it more once we went 1-0 up, too. It was not a great performance, but we got the result and that puts us in a very strong position.
“We needed to create width today and play between the lines. At times it went well, at others it didn’t.”
In the other game of the group,
Chelsea
defeated Malmo by 4 goals.
Kulusevski
admitted that if he does not play enough, it is his fault.
“He is a Sweden international, but hasn’t played many Champions League games. He must learn how to control the game, when to speed up, when to slow down. He has the talent, he just needs to make better choices and he’s more than capable of that.”
Juventus will face Serie A champions
Inter
on Sunday.
“
We got a good result with a bad performance, so the perfect combo to be fired up and play well this weekend,
” smiled Allegri.
