Max Allegri admits he got his Juventus tactics wrong in the defeat to Napoli – “I played for a draw and I’m not used to that”.
The Bianconeri went down 1-0 to Kalidou Koulibaly’s late header, but still went on to retain the Scudetto for a seventh year in a row.
“I got it wrong against them in Turin,” Allegri confessed, speaking to Corriere dello Sport.
“I was like an accountant, I played for a draw and I’m not used to that. But I knew once they’d beaten us they’d lose at least one game.

“Those who did it will be sent on a course, and let’s not forget that you can be an idiot at 15 – and social media only makes it worse. It’s like a time bomb in your pocket.”
