Juventus coach Max Allegri hails quality of narrow win over Inter Milan

Juventus coach Max Allegri hailed the quality of their win over Inter Milan.

Juan Cuadrado struck the only goal of the game.

“It was a match of a very high quality, worthy of the Champions League semi-final both in terms of individual talent and overall performance," Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.

“At times we weren't very organised and got caught on the counter, but we created several chances to take the lead and then finish it off. We hardly allowed Inter any opportunities at all.

“Fortunately for us, Inter had a rough start to the season, otherwise they'd be up there challenging for the Scudetto.

“Joao Mario was moving around on our right and it became three against two. We had prepared to press high on Antonio Candreva, but Alex Sandro was going down there both when he was and wasn't there. We corrected it in the second half and did better.

“We have to tip our hats to Inter, as they play very good football and there were moments in which they could've scored."
