Weston McKennie reveals what Max Allegri told the Juventus squad after their Champions League elimination, as they visit Lecce today. ‘We’re the only ones who can get ourselves out of this situation.’
It kicks off at the Stadio Via del Mare at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).
The Bianconeri were eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage for the first time in almost a decade, having lost four of their five European fixtures this season, including a 4-3 at Benfica midweek.
What did coach Allegri tell the players in the locker room to prepare them for this trip to Lecce?
“He doesn’t want us to think about what everyone is saying on the outside. We are the ones who put ourselves in this position and we’re the only ones who can get ourselves out,” McKennie told DAZN.
“We know that it’s not the best place, it’s not where Juventus belongs or where we should be, but it’s a situation we have to handle, a situation we want to fix.
“We can do that by taking it game by game and getting results any way we can.”
