Juventus coach Allegri: Torino were excellent for draw

Juventus coach Max Allegri insists they can be happy with their draw against Torino.

Matthijs de Ligt opened the scoring before Andrea Belotti found an equaliser for Toro.

"It matters, because with the point we followed up on the positive results we've had in the last two to three months. it wasn't easy, we weren't brilliant compared to Torino, but we played a good game," said Allegri.

“Paradoxically, we conceded a goal in our best moment. In the first half we had two or three situations where we could have scored, but not in the second half.

“Then we weren't very clean in the second half, but I think it's a normal path, it's natural when you're playing in the league, especially when you're aiming to be in the top four, so a draw isn't to be thrown away.

“I'd say that the guys played a good game in terms of commitment and intensity, they tried to win until the end, so it's a point that we take home and allows us to extend the positive streak."

He discussed the injuries to Paulo Dybala, Daniele Rugani and Luca Pellegrini, and if he's worried.

“I'm not worried at all also because during the season there are injuries and those we have and who are fit and enlisted, will play on Tuesday against Villarreal and then we will prepare for Empoli."
