Juventus coach Max Allegri: Italian football culture much change!

Juventus coach Max Allegri has dismissed complaints after defeat to AC Milan.

There were claims of Milan trashing their dressing room after Friday's controversial defeat.

“I won't talk about the dressing room, because I haven't seen it," Allegri said in his pre-Porto Press conference.

“I can only give my reaction, and I think that will take a bit of time and we should talk about it in another setting. I think Italian football must go down a completely different path, because we're definitely not setting a good example.

“Above all I think there are rules in life and it takes education and respect. Especially for children in football academies, who see certain things on Serie A pitches from an early age.

“It's not what happened on Friday, Friday is the latest in a long list of things which have happened.

“In life you have to do, not talk, you need to have respect, rules and education. Then you need to have the culture of winning and losing, but this is a topic that I can't address properly in two minutes. I have my ideas, but it's difficult in Italy…

“In Italy we promise and say things, then do the opposite of what was said. If we want to be constructive, we have to be better at planning, in building things for the future. That's my view.

“Friday was a beautiful game between two teams who fought hard, between the two sides the one which deserved to win was Juventus, then there was another team who are doing great things in the League and that's Milan."
