Juventus coach Allegri happy with victory over Fiorentina; angry with fans

Juventus coach Max Allegri was pleased with his players after victory over Fiorentina.

Adrien Rabiot struck for the 1-0 win.

Allegri said: “Fiorentina were pouring forward to seek an equaliser, we had chances to go 2-0 up and didn't take them, then you need to be very focused and careful when it gets a bit chaotic late on.

“It was a hard-fought game, two goals were disallowed for tight offsides, and I can only thank the lads, because it is hard to set targets at this moment in time. Our target now is to climb back up the table and I see a good spirit from the lads."

Allegri also turned on one fan in the stands at the end of the game.

“I am disappointed, because most of the crowd is helping the team, then there are a few who decide a player is poor regardless of performance and jeers, like Moise Kean, De Sciglio and at times Paredes too.

“They are Juventus players, we need all of them. I don't like people coming to the stadium ready to jeer at one or another player, that is disrespectful. By all means jeer when we do badly, but not ahead of time."
