Massimiliano Allegri said he is changing Juventus because “players don’t need to be caged by tactics.”
Arturo Vidal bagged a brace before a late Stephan Lichtsteiner strike to defeat Cesena 3-0.
“It was a positive night because we won, which was the most important thing,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“Giovinco played 90 minutes very well, Vidal was not in great shape and still decisive, while Ogbonna and Pereyra continue to do well. It’s important to have 15-20 players in good shape during a long season, especially when our intensity level drops.
“Unfortunately we have some players with injuries and must try to get them back in shape by playing, but winning at the same time.
“We had started with Vidal on the left and Pereyra on the right, then we switched them. It wasn’t easy, we controlled the ball well and didn’t allow Cesena many good opportunities and I was pleased to see the concentration levels stayed high.”
Allegri was asked how he is both continuing Antonio Conte’s work in Turin and changing their approach.
“Every Coach trains the way he thinks is best and has different ways of expressing his concepts. Conte’s Juventus had three years of excellent results.
“I am fortunate to be the Coach of Juventus and to be at this solid club, then I think each game lasts over 90 minutes and you have to read it.
“At times you need to raise the tempo, at others lower it, and some players don’t need to be completely caged by tactics. I think games are won with organisation and excellent players, otherwise it becomes like playing on a computer and that’s not possible.
“I inherited a side with great organisation, but this team still needs to improve a great deal.”
Juve are top of the table alongside Roma, but are now the only team yet to concede a goal this season.
“Rudi Garcia did very well last season to understand football is different in Italy from in France and he has a great side at his disposal.”
