Allegri happy with victory over Lecce: Very important for Juventus

Juventus coach Max Allegri was pleased with their 1-0 win against Lecce.

Juve won via Arek Milik's strike, bouncing back after defeat at Sassuolo.

“It was important to get the win, especially after a chaotic defeat against Sassuolo. We were up against a Lecce side that allow you very little, but we stayed balanced and made the most of our chances," Allegri told DAZN.

“We must not play the ball backwards so much, with a minute to go you cannot just punt a ball into the box, but we need to sort these things out.

“Against Sassuolo, we started strong, but then allowed too much at the other end, so it was better this time to keep the game in the balance and make the most of the chances we do create.

“Over the last few days we have gone from Scudetto rivals for Inter to being flops, so there has to be a little balance in the way we are talked about.

“I don't want to hide here, Inter, Milan and Napoli have better resources than us to win the title. We have many players without a great deal of experience, but they can grow. It takes patience and time to absorb errors and learn from them."
