Allegri hails dominant Juventus Coppa win

Juventus boss Max Allegri hailed the manner of their Coppa Italia win at Fiorentina.

Juve were beaten 2-1 in Turin, but emerged with a 3-0 triumph at the Stadio Franchi to book a spot in the Final against Napoli or Lazio.

"Some players were missing, others played with different characteristics," Allegri told Rai Sport.

"We've done that throughout the season, as don't forget we were without Andrea Barzagli for eight months, while Martin Caceres and Kwadwo Asamoah have barely been available.

"This is the proof that the players are all strong and put themselves at the disposal of the team with their own characteristics when needed.

"This is the decisive part of the season and the group is in good shape, for which my fitness staff deserves credit.

"I thought the team interpreted this game very well, as it's by no means easy to win away to a Fiorentina side that has been playing great football. We did well on and off the ball, above all when defending."
