Juventus coach Allegri pleased with Atalanta point - and Szczesny

Juventus coach Max Allegri was happy after their 0-0 draw with Atalanta on Sunday.

Allegri was particularly pleased with goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for the point.

He said, “I am happy with the point and the performance.

“We played well for 60 minutes, but we could have done more technically, especially with the final passes. We kept the ball on the ground, but Atalanta pressed high. Now, we have one week to prepare for the derby.

“We could have been more accurate with the ball in the first half, but the lads did well, they were united.

“Overall, we played well but we were not too convinced when we attacked.

“We had a couple of chances, including one with Nicolò Fagioli in the first half. In these situations, we should shoot but we tried to keep possession instead. We'll work on it."

On Szczesny, the coach added: “I still haven't seen it, but it was extraordinary.

“He is among the best in Europe, surely. He had a bad night against Sassuolo, but it can happen, and we didn't lose because of him. We had recovered, but then we conceded two silly goals."
