Max Allegri will “take the three points” at Palermo, even without a good performance, and defended his Juventus experiments.

A deflected Dani Alves shot was the decisive moment of the 1-0 win this evening that keeps them top of the table.

“I told the lads we had two objectives today – to win the game and not concede. Obviously we need to improve, as we made too many mistakes on a technical level with misplaced passes, but we take the three points after a tough run of games,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium.

“It was not easy to come here and win at Palermo, as they picked up four points from the last two games. In the end we were left with 10 men and suffered, but I like that we still took home the result.

“It was the first time really for the two strikers together and they didn’t combine, but then that is not in their characteristics. They did well to sacrifice themselves and help out in defence. In my view, they played well. Considering what I asked of them, they did well and we created some chances thanks to them.”

Daniele Rugani and Kwadwo Asamoah both went off injured at the Stadio Barbera with knee sprains.

“Asamoah we’ll have to see, as he was on the stretcher, but Rugani was walking and we hope it’s nothing much.

“We have to score against Dinamo Zagreb, as we did everything right against Sevilla except put the ball in the net.”

Paul Pogba visited the Juventus camp yesterday and today got his first goal in a Manchester United shirt.

“I saw Paul, he was very happy with the choice he had made. Let’s say the air of Turin did him good, maybe that’s why he came back!

“Pogba is a universal player who can be in a two-man midfield, he can play wide, behind the strikers, even as a support forward. He can do anything.”
