Juventus boss Allegri pleased to thump Hellas Verona

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was delighted with their 4-0 win over Hellas Verona.

Carlos Tevez struck twice in the rout.

Allegri was above all content with a clean sheet after Juventus beat Verona 4-0 to go five points clear.

"The credit goes to the lads, as for the fourth year running they are top of the table and attempting an extraordinary achievement," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

"It was not an easy game tonight just days after beating Verona 6-1 in the Coppa Italia and indeed at one point we fell asleep, risking with three or four counter-attacks.

"Nonetheless, the team showed great spirit and the real positive from the night is that we kept a clean sheet, as I had been angry at the number of goals we were conceding. We saw a clean sheet as another objective for the game.

"I am very happy with the team, but I still see how much more we can do in future, as when we all move together to cover the spaces it becomes difficult for opponents. There are still moments when we fall asleep and run too many risks in defence."
