Max Allegri was still not entirely content with Juventus after a 3-1 victory away to 10-man Sevilla. “We have to be sharper.”
The Bianconeri fought back from an early Nico Pareja goal to win 3-1 with Claudio Marchisio’s penalty, a Leonardo Bonucci volley and Mario Mandzukic goal.
“We conceded a goal on the only real chance, a corner after 10 minutes,” the Coach told Mediaset.

The Bianconeri fought back from an early Nico Pareja goal to win 3-1 with Claudio Marchisio’s penalty, a Leonardo Bonucci volley and Mario Mandzukic goal.
“We conceded a goal on the only real chance, a corner after 10 minutes,” the Coach told Mediaset.
“In the second half Sevilla took away lots of spaces and there were many tactical fouls.
“It’s not easy to win here, as Sevilla have some excellent players and a great Coach. This now puts us in a position to lock down the top spot in the final game.
“We achieved one target. Now there are two more, to be top of the Serie A table before Christmas and win the Super Cup in Doha.
“We had to win, the lads won it and we’re taking it all one step at a time. In the second half we should’ve moved the ball quicker and not been so hasty with our decisions.
“It was a very physical match and we had to do different things, as Sevilla took away all reference points in attack.”
“It’s not easy with one centre-forward when nine men are behind the ball. We got the win because the kid went to jump for a loose ball and Bonucci fired it in on the rebound.”
‘The Kid’ is 16-year-old Moise Kean, the first Champions League player to be born in the year 2000.
“He is maturing, he’s growing. He had a moment, as all lads do, of peak and then a dip, now he’s getting back to being able to show what he can do.
“We are happy, as we achieved one of our objectives. We have to improve and be sharper. I get angry when I see crazy things like giving the ball away in the final minutes or allowing cheap corners against a team so strong in the air.”
