Max Allegri told Paul Pogba off after a 2-2 draw with Verona and prepares Juventus for the Champions League Final with Barcelona.
The Bianconeri were twice in front, but missed a penalty and saw Juanito Gomez Taleb snatch a last-gasp equaliser.
“We did good things in fits and starts, but also made a lot of mistakes and were not very concentrated,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
Max Allegri told Paul Pogba off after a 2-2 draw with Verona and prepares Juventus for the Champions League Final with Barcelona.
The Bianconeri were twice in front, but missed a penalty and saw Juanito Gomez Taleb snatch a last-gasp equaliser.
“We did good things in fits and starts, but also made a lot of mistakes and were not very concentrated,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“We didn’t control the lead very well either, while we wasted a counter-attack when 2-1 up. A draw is ok, even if to win would’ve been better.”
Pogba has struggled to rediscover his full form since returning from almost two months out with injury.
“He’s very talented, but if he lowers the concentration levels then he can make technical errors. This is part of his growth process and he should stop showboating in midfield.”
Next Saturday Juve face Barcelona in the Champions League Final in Berlin, so how will he approach them?
“It’s practically impossible to stop them being dangerous. First of all we have to not only focus on that, but on attacking, keeping a high tempo and making life difficult for them. Barcelona play in a different way to how they did under Pep Guardiola.
“They have less possession and play with a centre-forward, which they didn’t use before.
“Am I losing sleep? No, I sleep pretty soundly. It’s a game we have to prepare, there’s no need to fire up the squad for a Champions League Final.
“It is a 95-minute game, a one-off, and if that’s not enough then it’ll be over 120 minutes. More than just technical quality, we also need mental strength.
“Tomorrow we will rest, then from Monday we begin the countdown to Berlin. Nobody expected Juventus to reach the Final and this doesn’t happen often in life, so we must do our best to bring it home.”
