Juventus coach Allegri blasts 'soft, error-ridden' performance for Parma draw

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri blasted his players after their 3-3 draw with Parma.

Juve were 3-1 up and looking comfortable in Turin, but deep into stoppages Mario Mandzukic tried to play the ball at his own corner flag and it fell to Gervinho for the equaliser.

“We were too soft defensively and made several errors," Allegri told DAZN.

“There were certain moves that were superficial and lacking in the necessary concentration. We need to be more focused, we can't keep taking things for granted.

“We lowered our guard after going 3-1 up and then again on the final ball for the equaliser. You cannot play with that attitude at the 93rd minute with the ball at the corner flag. It was conceptually the wrong thing to try to keep that in play. Just kick it out."
