Allegri hails Cuadrado for Juventus Champions League win

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was delighted with their impressive win over Champions League opponents Sevilla.

Alvaro Morata and Simone Zaza struck in the 2-0 win.

“The lads put in a good game, but still need to read the various moments of the match," Allegri told Mediaset Premium.

“After an intense opening 30 minutes, we should've controlled the tempo better, but instead got stretched out and created space for Sevilla in midfield.

“In the second half the team did better at reading the game, slowing the tempo and then accelerating at the right moment.

“This is the first step for a team that is still learning how to play at the top level."

Juan Cuadrado was impressive in attack, although Allegri had some advice.

“He has pace and great technique when taking men on. Tonight he played better compared to his performances against Chievo and Udinese.

“He is starting to realise when to pass the ball. If he learns the timing and when to set up his teammates, he can become simply unstoppable."
