Juventus coach Allegri: We're tactically superior to European rivals

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri says his team is tactically superior to their Champions League rivals.

However, he admits the opposition do play with greater freedom.

“In the Champions League many teams have improved tactically but they are not yet at our level," Allegri said.

“They leave a lot of space between the lines of midfield and defence and we need to exploit those.

“The biggest disadvantage when playing foreign sides in the Champions League is that they all move for 90 minutes.

“In the youth teams we need to let children play with freedom, and then teach them tactical concepts afterward."
