“We have to play a game that is technically precise, as this will be an important match and we will try to bring home a positive result that would allow us to start well in this group,” Allegri told Sport Mediaset.
There have been calls for Juve to drop Szczesny following a series of howlers both last season and in the current campaign, with Mattia Perin ready to step in.
“Szczesny is fine. He had made a great save five minutes before the error against Napoli, so these things can happen. We have to accept that, work hard and put in a great technical performance this evening.”
Paulo Dybala is leading the way, having missed the trip to Napoli on Saturday along with the other South American players who returned late from international duty.
“I expect a great performance from everyone. We need to be a united squad, because Malmo are a very physical side,” added the coach.
The Bianconeri have just one point from three Serie A games so far this season and are still waiting for their first victory in the new Allegri era.
“Victories help everyone see things differently, so we need a win tonight.”

he can’t trust faglioli and ranocchia or luca clemenza but he kept forgiven his GK mistakes.
lord cesni cost us UCL last season and the despite of the hype of de ligt and his fat salary, the number of shot on goals are never decreased again.
paratici bough his players based on IG followers hypes.
its not easy playing for juve and its not a welcome home for those who can’t show their grinta.
lord sir cesni faces everytime juve conceded doesn’t show that he regrets on the goals.
Szczesny = Not Win
He is useless
Yawn to all critics… Juve won 3-0 comfortably with Szczęsny in the team. This proves Allegri is a respected leader in the dressing room.
