Gigi Buffon called Max Allegri an “extremely intelligent Coach” and trusts Juventus can reach the last eight in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri were held to a 0-0 draw by Fiorentina last night, having switched back to a 3-5-2 after a month of four at the back.
“In a League there are points you dropped, earned and ones that are right: this point was right, picked up in an away game that is always dangerous,” Buffon told Sky Sport Italia.
Gigi Buffon called Max Allegri an “extremely intelligent Coach” and trusts Juventus can reach the last eight in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri were held to a 0-0 draw by Fiorentina last night, having switched back to a 3-5-2 after a month of four at the back.
“In a League there are points you dropped, earned and ones that are right: this point was right, picked up in an away game that is always dangerous,” Buffon told Sky Sport Italia.
“Allegri had the humility to let himself be welcomed by the group and the patience to transform it. He allowed us to gradually believe in his ideas and his football. He proved himself to be an extremely intelligent Coach, one who belongs in the top echelon of tacticians.”
Juventus host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday and a draw would be enough to qualify, but a win by two clear goals and they’d go through top of the group.
“We mustn’t take a catastrophic view of the last few years in the Champions League,” insisted Buffon.
“The first season we went beyond the rosiest expectations, going out only to a Bayern Munich side that went on to win the trophy.
“Last year we got it wrong, without doubt, whereas after a tricky start this term we have this match point.
“We are worth at least a place in European football’s G8, but you need luck in the draw too.”
