Allegri after Fiorentina's equaliser: 'Angry is an understatement’

Massimiliano Allegri

was enraged by the way

blew a lead and defended his choice to leave

on the bench in a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.

Arkadiusz Milik made his debut Juventus appearance by scoring his second goal in two games at

Stadio Artemio Franchi

, but it was a false dawn. Christian Kouame scored a breakaway goal after Weston McKennie passed when he should have tried his luck at the other end.

Late in the first half, Mattia Perin saved Luka Jovic's penalty after

Leandro Paredes

was ruled to have handled the penalty area on his Bianconeri debut. As a precaution, Allegri opted to replace

at halftime with Moise Kean rather than in-form ex-Fiorentina attacker Vlahovic, as Juve made it five Serie A matches without defeat this season.

Allegri, the head coach of Juventus, was not pleased with how his team was caught off guard by Kouame's goal. "Getting angry is an understatement; you should not concede that goal," he remarked. We had to end the game at that point. n the second half, we dropped [back], but the thing to improve completely is that when you have the ball when leading," Allegri remarked.

"From that ball [by McKennie] came the corner [for Juventus] and the 1-1, which changed everything." Vlahovic has four goals in four games, but Allegri thought he needed rest ahead of Tuesday's Champions League debut against Paris Saint-Germain. "He has played multiple games, and Milik might give us an extra hand," he explained. We wanted him to recuperate before making some drastic alterations."
