In the first match of the round of 16 of the Europa League, Juventus only drew with Nantes (1:1). At the end of the match in Turin, coach Massimiliano Allegri had a heated argument with journalists in the Sky studio.

Massimiliano Allegri argued with journalists after the match “Juventus” – “Nantes” (1:1).

Many of Juventus’ victories this season have been on the line, and the Italian coach fumed when asked if he was satisfied with the 1-0 scoreline, given his side’s failure to follow through after opening the scoring through Vlahovic (’13).

Nantes equalized through Blas (’60) and the return (February 23, France) promises to be difficult for the “Old Signoria”.

“I never said I only wanted Juve to win 1-0, you’re driving me crazy with this nonsense. It’s a cliché that I want my teams to win 1-0, but that’s not true.

It’s simple, look at the statistics of all my teams, I always had the best defense and the second best attack. You can’t escape from statistics. Look at Milan and Juventus, that’s my record.

My teams always scored 70-80 goals per season. You talk a lot about nothing, I talk about numbers, that’s the problem. I know you have to sit and talk about nothing to fill the time. You envision something, you create that story, and then you keep spreading it.

You see the abstract, I see the concrete. You have all the stats, look at them. In football, only one thing is important: winning matches. It doesn’t matter if it’s 1-0 or 5-0. However, my teams always had the best defense and the second best attack” – Massimiliano Allegri.
