Juventus coach Allegri: No excuses

Juventus coach Max Allegri had no excuses after their 3-1 defeat at Genoa.

All of Genoa's goals were scored in the first-half.

“There were 25 Genoa fouls and eight from us. When those are the stats, it is impossible to win a football match," Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.

“We knew Genoa were tough and we'd have to play on their level physically, but the first half was very bad. The second was better and it was too late by then.

“It's a setback, presumably after qualifying for the Champions League there was a dip in concentration levels.

“We conceded three goals from the six-yard box. Again, you're going to lose a game if you do that. In every season there is a slip-up and this was ours, because for the first half-hour we were just absent. There are no excuses for that start."
