Allegri sets Juventus their Champions League target

Juventus coach Max Allegri has set a quarterfinals target for the Champions League this season. Juve open their campaign this week against Malmo.

Allegri said: "From the outside, in the past year the group has been good, but they have paid for episodes. This is a great club, a great team, that should aim to be equal with the biggest in Europe, reaching the last eight.

"It will not be easy, we start from tomorrow, realising that the approach to Europe is different to that in Serie A.

"What are the differences? The games are different because the teams that you face always play to win. There is less tactics and more speed and you have to be good at reading the game.

"Am I more an Italian or European Coach? I would say Italian because in Europe I have not yet won anything. I still have to do a lot better with my team."
