Allegri shrugs off Juventus defeat to Borussia Dortmund

Juventus coach Max Allegri shrugged off their friendly defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

Juve were beaten 2-0 in St Gallen.

“We ended the season conceding two goals on the counter-attack and we start the season conceding two goals on the counter-attack," smiled Allegri with Sky Sport Italia.

Their last game was the 3-1 Champions League Final loss to Barcelona.

“Obviously it is never pleasing to lose, but we knew that we would encounter difficulties this evening, because Borussia Dortmund are much further ahead in terms of pre-season preparation.

“We must find our balance and lost the ball too many times coming out of defence. We must get our heads back in the game and try to be more focused.

“It was a good training session, aside from the result. The important thing is that nobody got hurt as we head towards the game in Shanghai on August 8."
