Allegri pleased as Juventus defeat Torino in derby

Juventus coach Max Allegri was pleased after their 2-0 win against local rivals Torino.

Juve won the Derby della Mole thanks to goals from Fede Gatti and Arek Milik.

“Toro were very aggressive in the first 25 minutes, then we got a bit more organised," said Allegri afterwards. "Miretti did good work, as I needed a player between the lines, then after the break having Milik and Yildiz we knew that we could change the game.

“It was a mature performance, so we are improving in that sense, and I am happy."

“We made some wrong choices, above all when in control of the game and 2-0 up. We should've gone for the shot to finish off the moves and not allow Torino to stay in the game when they were struggling.

“The same thing happened in Bergamo, they opened up the midfielders quite wide and we struggled to close them down. When we moved to a more organised 4-4-2, we allowed them very little after that and above all were more aggressive."

“It is very important to have different solutions based on the characteristics of the players, which you can use from the start or as the match goes on. We managed to bring home a good result in Bergamo, despite it not being the best performance, especially in the second half."
