Agent of Marko Pjaca: He must listen to Juventus coach Allegri

The agent of Marko Pjaca has told him to follow Juventus coach Max Allegri's instructions.

The midfielder scored in their Champions League win over Porto.

“Allegri is a very good Coach," Marko Naletilic told JuveNews.

“Yesterday he made the change and he understood where he could improve the team to change the course of the match.

“He always tries to motivate and improve Marko, and he considers him to be a great player. He's young and he has to follow his Coach.

“If he does that he'll only get better, and he certainly won't get worse."

Naletilic was also asked about last night's performance, as well as Pjaca's adaptation to Juve in general.

“I'm very happy for him, Marko came on and did well, he personally managed to unlock and solve a difficult game which was complicated for Juventus.

“He also gave [Sami] Khedira an assist and did other interesting things.

“To tell you the truth, every time he's come on he's made a difference, maybe sometimes he hasn't been given a penalty or he's had some interesting assists which haven't been finished off.

“For someone like Marko it's easier to play against a team like Porto who play football, rather than against Palermo or Crotone who put everyone behind the ball.

“With a lot of Serie A teams it's harder for him to find space to play in. Marko can be very useful for Juventus in the Champions League."
