Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri did not hold back his emotions when responding to a journalist's remark about the team's performance in the Italian league match against Genoa, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
"We are third in the standings. Do you know how to be a coach? I don't know how to be a journalist. I do not follow what the public says, I do what is right for the team. I don't dare tell a journalist how to do his job. So don't tell me how to do my job.
How did we get 46 points in the first 19 rounds? The same answer. If you ask me a smarter question, I'll give you a smarter answer. I am a coach working at Juventus, I have a goal to achieve. I am disappointed that the results are not the best at the moment, everyone makes mistakes, but I make choices for the good of the team.
I don't know if the team is weaker when playing with a lot of strikers. All I know is that my role is to get into the top four, and we are on our way to that. Maybe I'm wrong not to use three strikers, maybe I'm right. I'm happy with what the boys did today and it's a good starting point for the next nine games," Allegri was quoted as saying by Blackwhitereadallover.com.
