Allegri: ‘Criticism part of football’

Juventus Coach Max Allegri insists he’s not bothered by criticism – “it’s part of football.”

The Bianconeri are 10th in Serie A after 11 games, with the tactician being criticised after four defeats already this term.

“I’m saying nothing, it’s part of football,” Allegri told Mediaset.

“When you win you’re good, when you lose… we’ve been criticised because we’ve not been getting results.

“I’m saying nothing, it’s part of football,” Allegri told Mediaset.

“When you win you’re good, when you lose… we’ve been criticised because we’ve not been getting results.

“People don’t look at how we’ve lost, but at the results, that’s what counts. I’m always calm, I’m not going to change my thinking because of a week or a month.

“Everyone has quality, and we have to prove it. The team hasn’t become poor, we need cohesion, we’re missing a piece, and we must grow with so many players, some of them under 23.

“We’ve had issues with our start, and with luck a little bit, like in the derby [against Torino] where we were unlucky like in previous games in conceding from the first shot.”
