Allegri: “We fell asleep in front of Inter Milan”!

Inter Milan midfielder Federico Dimarco's first-half goal earned his side a place in the Coppa Italia final for the second year in a row after a 1-0 home win over Juventus in their semi-final second leg on Wednesday secured a 2-1 aggregate victory. Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri comments on the elimination of his team from the Italian Cup saying that: “The sensations we had in the first half, especially the first quarter of an hour, fell asleep. We conceded this goal, then overall we played a good game, but we only shot very little on goal, it’s difficult against Inter because it’s a physical team, so we went out, we weren’t able to reach the final of the Italian Cup”. Commenting on his 15 lead the team to point empty of energy, Allegri said: “We need to recharge our energies because of the last 5 league games we have lost 4, we lost in the Italian Cup. We have the semi-final of the Europa League, we need to roll up our sleeves, starting tomorrow we will start working harder, because in any case we have third place to defend, we have Lazio two points away and we need to keep Roma and Milan away”. Allegri added, "It is an abnormal season. We were good, but now we are back to our worst position. We are third in the standings, two points behind Lazio, and three points behind Roma and Milan, and we must work to try to reach second place, which will allow us to play in the Super Cup." The Juventus coach continued, "Inter is a strong team. We were good at playing after the goal, but we were not very effective. We need to find our energy quickly. Sunday we have a very difficult match in Bologna. We will have a series of complex games that you have to fight to win." Allegri added, "We need to be better offensively, be precise. We need to improve. In the last six games we've scored against Lazio and once against Verona. We need to get back to scoring, let's say we're sorry about the Italian Cup but we need to accept it and work." What we have to work on."
