ALLEGRE: Worried about Dybala's injury, we lost two points today

Livestream On December 12, juventus drew 1-1 away to Venice in the Serie A league that ended the round, and Juve coach Allegri was interviewed by DAZN reporters after the match.

About Dybala

"In this game, we risked letting him play, but it turned out to be terrible. He had left the world with muscle problems in the Champions League in midweek, when he was a little tired but looked good. We expected him to be in better shape in this game, but it backfired. ”

On whether there are concerns about Dybala's injury

"Yes, I'm worried, unfortunately we chose to take the risk, now let's see how his injury really is."

About the performance in the first half

"We played well in the first half and created a lot of chances, but in the 10-15 minutes before Venice scored, we suddenly lost power. The same thing happened against Salernitana, when we managed to get away with it and didn't lose because Salnitana hit the upright. But there is no doubt that this is clearly where we need to work to make changes and improve. ”

About Venice

"Venice put a lot of pressure on us and we should have been more patient with the ball, passing the ball to the striker, reducing the pressure on the defence, so that Venice needed to go back immediately after the front pressure, but unfortunately we didn't do that. We should have taken the initiative, played more aggressively, forced them to foul and paid more yellow cards for it, thus reducing the pressure on us. But Venice played very well and we conceded two points in this game. ”

About the performance in the second half

"At the start of the second half, we were not focused enough and ceded possession to Venice. Sometimes we don't realize that the game is getting 'ugly' because of our performance, but that's the way it is. We didn't read the game very well and when that time went by we got back in shape, controlled the game again and held Venice back into their half, but they had scored goals and the injuries had been inflicted. ”

"Our whole team was stuck in a slow pace at the start of the second half, and that slow heat cost us. Now our problem is that we can't seem to realize when we should play well and when we should play ugly, for example, in those 10-15 minutes, we should play ugly, control the ball, grit our teeth and stick to the end. ”

About Keor Jorge

"In this game, we have some young players who are not very experienced because in terms of game time, this is the first time that Keao Jorge has played so much time and Sulé has also been given a chance. In the first half, Jorge did a good job, he worked very the pitch and also showed a good depth of attack ability, but in the second half the whole team was a bit weak, which is a fact. ”

About substitutions

"I would have liked to replace Cuadrado because he was arguing with the referee. Then I thought about it and it made him more scrappy, so I chose to keep him on the pitch. Then I tried to get Bentankur to replace Bernardsky and have more control over the midfield. But he and Bernardsky are players with different characteristics, so we have also changed in terms of playing style. I replaced Bernardsky not because of his bad performances, but because I appreciated Cuadrado's performances and crosses on the wing during that time. ”

On whether there is any hope of ranking in the top four this season

"We shouldn't think about it now, the important thing is that we lost two points today and we should have taken all three points."
