Allegri frustrated as Juventus draw with Inter Milan

Juventus coach Max Allegri admitted frustration after their 1-1 draw with Inter Milan.

Inter drew 1-1 after Lautaro Martinez struck to cancel out the opener scored by Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

"We conceded a very naïve goal, especially as it was only a few minutes after our opener. Inter have already shown that when they have spaces to run into, it makes it easier for them," Allegri told DAZN.

“We knew that they tended to pull back low from the by-line and had worked on that, but we conceded it anyway. Perhaps we should've fouled them earlier before they got into that position.

“They did well moving it quickly. What we should've done was Rugani or Bremer getting closer to Thuram, especially Bremer fouling Thuram so he couldn't make that pass. This is one of Inter's strengths and we had practiced all week knowing this was something they did."

He added, “Fortune favours the brave, so we had to be solid, aggressive and we are finding a better sense of balance than in the early games of the season. We must continue to improve and a solid defence is very important.

“Dusan had I think his best performance since coming to Juventus. Physically he beat De Vrij, while with Chiesa playing wider he also had more spaces to work in. He hasn't scored for a while, but he always worked hard and let's also not forget he is only 23 years old."
