Juventus striker Tevez: I play with more freedom under Allegri

Carlos Tevez says he's playing with more freedom under Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Allegri replaced Antonio Conte last summer.

"With Allegri, I have more freedom of movement than under Conte. Under the previous Coach, we played with two strikers, in fixed positions and close together," Tevez explained.

"Under Allegri we only have a fixed position when we don't have the ball, but we're more free to play the way we want to play when we attack. Conte was demanding, a winner. You couldn't relax for a second with him, either in training or during the game.

"Winning was everything for him, there was nothing else. Allegri is more relaxed, he gives us a rest, especially after a victory. Conte was already thinking about the next game after a win.

"This year, we play differently in the Champions League compared to last year; we're mentally and physically prepared.

"This team is ready to take on anyone."
