Juventus coach Allegri happy after AC Milan stalemate | OneFootball

Juventus coach Max Allegri was left satisfied with their 0-0 draw against AC Milan.

The result leaves them one point behind fourth-placed Atalanta and seven adrift of Milan.

“It was a good game. We were coming off a lot of head-to-head clashes and a defeat would've sent us 10 points behind Milan, so that'd be negative," Allegri told DAZN.

“We need to be a little calmer and more focused in the final third, as we are hasty and get the final ball wrong. It was a hard-fought game with some strong tackles, it was balanced and a draw is the right result.

“I think we did better in the second half against a good Milan and being at this stage after two head-to-head meetings is good.

“I am glad because the lads are playing more like a team, understanding when to control the ball in defensive and attacking moments. We are getting there.

“The players have improved their self-confidence, because we kept eight clean sheets in the last 12 games and that is a good signal."
