Juventus coach Max Allegri: Coppa Italia a triumph for everyone here

Juventus coach Max Allegri says their Coppa Italia triumph was for everyone connected to the club.

Juve won 2-0 thanks to goals from Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci.

“We have to compliment the lads for a great game, an extraordinary first half and Lazio deserve compliments for their entire campaign," Allegri told Rai Sport.

“The first half had a very high tempo and we made the most of our chances, so we did well defending in the second half."

Alves scored another decisive goal, his third in the last five games, but Allegri wouldn't hear of praising a single man.

“I think it's disrespectful to talk about just one player after a night like this. If we won the Coppa Italia, it's thanks to all the players in the squad who got us here.

“It'll be tough against Crotone, we need one victory and on Sunday it'll be decisive match of the season, so we need all our fans there. We have to play with the same determination we showed tonight."
