Juventus defender Fede Gatti appreciates the support of coach Max Allegri.

Gatti put through his own net in defeat to Sassuolo last week.

“We played an excellent first half, all we missed was the goal," said the centre-back after Sunday's 0-0 draw with Atalanta.

“Towards the end, we were a bit tired and that's when the slightest mistake can change the match.

“Allegri gives me confidence, and the mistake against Sassuolo was important to help me grow; it didn't kill me mentally, but it gave me even more desire.

“These are things that strengthen me, I worked to understand where I had gone wrong and looked to overcome it.

“We were united, solid and avoided conceding a goal on a very difficult pitch. It's an excellent point, which helps us work well towards Saturday's Derby.

“There are matches in which maybe you can't win, but you must avoid losing."
