The Bianconeri made numerous changes, some due to injuries, for their 2-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.

The Bianconeri made numerous changes, some due to injuries, for their 2-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.
“I changed system because we needed an extra man in the middle of the park, as we were a little slow,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
“The second half was a little better and Dinamo opened up after the first goal, then dropped off physically and it became easier for us.
“This season we hadn’t yet won a Champions League game on home turf, so this result is certainly positive.
“Using Miralem Pjanic as a trequartista is an option that we can use during a game as well as from the start. He did well there on Sunday, less so today because there were fewer spaces, but he still had some good moves.
“Juan Cuadrado struggled tonight. The diamond midfield allows us to have more players in the middle, but the first half system was also one that allowed us to win 12 games in Serie A. It’s all about giving the opponent few reference points.”
Juventus won their group, as did Napoli, but that means the risk of facing Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City.
“It all depends on the ball that gets pulled out from the pot. In any case, sooner or later we’re going to have to face them all.”
Does Allegri expect a new midfielder to be added to his squad during the January transfer window?
“We are not lacking anything and should make the most of our players. We just need to improve in terms of our team football and organisation.”
