Massimiliano Allegri demands ‘responsibility’ from the players
Juventus are preparing for Wednesday's game against Spezia, and Massimiliano Allegri has announced that he will have to make the important changes before the fifth game of the season.
“
Tomorrow, there will be some changes,”
Allegri said at a press conference.
“Some players have played many games; Giorgio Chiellini is developing a fever
.
“Spezia are a team that plays without worries and playing in their stadium is never easy.
“We must play at par mentally and physically, to bring out the technical qualities. In the second halves, we make mistakes, even when there’s not much pressure.
Allegri demands more responsibility from the players on the bench after revealing that he made the wrong changes in the game against
Milan
.
“Talking about the past makes no sense,”
he continued.
“Tomorrow, we have to win, there’s nothing more to say.
“Those who start on the bench must be decisive when they enter, as an approach. Now, there are 16 players, not 14, I demand responsibility.
“I watched back the game on Sunday, we missed too many free balls. In football, there are occasions, and you pay for it, you might even risk losing. It takes clarity.”
Allegri, whose team is still unable to win in Serie A, says all
Juventus
need is a win to change everything.
“
Victories help,”
he added.
“We are a team with many good players, some with more experience, others with less
.
“But we are not a ‘young’ team. Experience is one thing, age is another. Tomorrow, Federico Chiesa and Matthijs de Ligt will start the match. The defence? We have always defended with four players.”
Allegri stressed that there is no tension in the group and said that he works with all the players in the team to help them grow.
“Tension? There’s no tension within the group,” he said. “We all work together to do things well. We made a mistake on Milan’s goal.
“The inclusion of Manuel Locatelli is going well, he must find the mental and physical balance to play many games in a row.
“The goal is to help players improve, even the most experienced do it. I speak to all the players to help them grow, we all want to achieve important goals together, on the pitch and on a personal level.”
