Juventus coach Allegri delighted with victory over Torino: Best of season

Juventus coach Max Allegri was delighted with their 1-0 defeat of Torino.

Manuel Locatelli struck for the 1-0 win.

“We were a bit too static in the first half, especially down the right, and Kean did better towards the end of the first half, but we lost possession a few too many times," Allegri told DAZN.

“Toro lost intensity as time wore on and we moved more, so the more you move, the more you make the opposition lose sight of reference points.

“Locatelli settled in well, he can improve a great deal. He is beginning to vary the moves, so short and long passes, he just needs to improve his positioning."

Allegri added: “After the break for international duty, we discovered the desire to defend when we needed to defend and attack when we needed to attack.

“It would've been disappointing not to win a game after that performance which, after the first half against Milan, I feel was our best of the season."
