The Bianconeri boss took part in a Q&A session with the supporters, and much of the interview was focused on his experience when joining the club.
“When I was first announced as Juventus Coach, I felt very happy, because I knew I was being given the opportunity to win.
“But my greatest fear when joining the team was that I wouldn't be able to take a place in the heart of the tifosi, because I promised I'd do that by means of results.
“Entering the Juventus Stadium is a unique emotion and I think our first home victory this year was the most important. The stadium is an extra resource for the team and for all of us.
“As for our formation, it can change. We can play with three or four defenders and then modify it, but these are just details.
“Our best game so far was against Lazio [3-0, November 22].”
Finally, Allegri was asked whether he'd forgiven the supporters for their initial scepticism in his regards.
“I certainly did. Forgiving was the right thing to do, because I think the reaction of the supporters to my appointment on July 16 was normal.
“The month of July saw some very sudden changes for the club. It was only by means of hard work and respect for the tifosi that we did well this season, and now we must finish it at our very best, because we still haven't won anything.
“We're not at the end of the championship, much less the Champions League or the Coppa Italia.”
