“I am not worried,” assured the Coach in a Press conference this morning. “The goals we conceded are mistakes that must be analysed, identified and avoided.
“We have to improve these things, but we’re still in mid-March and in the running for all three competitions.”
On Thursday Juve suffered a shock 2-1 home defeat to Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia semi-final, their first loss in this stadium since April 2013.
“We analysed the game with Fiorentina. I would make all my decisions again, given the chance. We had four or five chances to score and Fiorentina barely came out of their own half until the last five minutes.
“The performance is not to be written off completely. We should avoid these mistakes on set plays and counter-attacks.”
Allegri slammed the negativity around Juve’s recent performances and maintained fans ought to be “proud of this team.
“I want to point out this squad won the Scudetto three times in a row. People are taking a fourth for granted, but so few teams have achieved that. I feel the enthusiasm has been lost around us.
“It was unthinkable for us to already secure the title in February. These things take time and people should see the positives as well as the negatives.
“On Monday we have a difficult game against Sassuolo. Will there be a trial by media if we don’t win? I keep my feet on the ground.
“I know facing Sassuolo is tough, as they cost me my job at Milan last season. They have a lot of quality and those three forwards are devastating when running into space.
“We have conceded too many goals recently and must improve on those situations. However, considering the situation, our performances haven’t seemed so horrible. It’s up to me to change a few positions.”
