Juventus coach Allegri pleased with 'mature' win against Bologna

Juventus coach Max Allegri was pleased with their 2-0 win over Bologna.

The Bianconeri took just 16 minutes to beat Bologna this evening with Paulo Dybala and Blaise Matuidi goals.

“The team did well and proved its maturity," Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.

“We played well on a technical level in the first half, while after the break we used the perimeter of the field too much and didn't go through the centre.

“On Saturday it's a head-to-head with Napoli and it'll certainly be a great game. I don't have a line-up in my head right now, as on Friday in training we'll see everyone together and decide."

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't find the net against Bologna, but he did set up Matuidi's goal.

“I wanted to rest him in the second half, but he was so eager to play and score. It is more difficult to play in Italy and I am happy with what he's doing so far.

“Cristiano has a particular way of touching the ball and these details make him a champion."
