Juventus coach Allegri delighted with victory over Roma | OneFootball

Juventus coach Max Allegri was delighted with their 1-0 win against Roma.

A scrappy goal from Moise Kean proved the winner for the Bianconeri.

"I like 1-0, as it's a good result, especially as we kept another clean sheet," Allegri told DAZN.

“Roma are a technically good team, they have a lot of quality and caused us problems early on, then we scored a good goal and improved as time wore on.

“We have players more suited to counter-attacks, those are their characteristics, so when we try to play the ball, we either fall asleep or get irritable.

“It's an important victory, another step forward in the table and a further progress for the season. We were missing Dybala, De Ligt, Rabiot, Morata only came on at the end, but when everyone plays with that spirit, you don't concede as many goals.

“We are starting to slow the game down at the right time, but we need to step up the pace too when it's required. I won't lie, I probably did damage too at the start with some of my choices, I had to get to know some players and their characteristics, but we're getting there."

Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny denied Roma midfielder Jordan Veretout from the penalty spot.

Allegri added: “Szczesny made all his mistakes for the season in one fell swoop and is now bringing back what he can to the team. We need to improve in the final third, the timing and movement, but we'll get there."
