Max Allegri concedes “you can’t win all the time” after Juventus saw their 15-round winning streak ended in Bologna.
The leaders saw their club record breaking run come crashing to a halt at the Stadio Dall’Ara, where for the first time in four years they failed to get a single shot on target.
“We started the game well, but tonight Bologna deserve a lot of credit for limiting our performance,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium and Sky Sport Italia.
Max Allegri concedes “you can’t win all the time” after Juventus saw their 15-round winning streak ended in Bologna.
The leaders saw their club record breaking run come crashing to a halt at the Stadio Dall’Ara, where for the first time in four years they failed to get a single shot on target.
“We started the game well, but tonight Bologna deserve a lot of credit for limiting our performance,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium and Sky Sport Italia.
“It’s disappointing we didn’t win, but we were coming from a run of 15 consecutive victories and Bologna are one of the form teams in Serie A right now. You can’t win all the time in football.
“We should’ve spread the play more and it was one of those games where the deadlock has to be broken by an incident.
“We kept another clean sheet and that is certainly important. Simone Zaza and Alvaro Morata did well, but there weren’t many spaces to play in tonight.”
The setback arrived straight after Juventus had gone top of the table for the first time this season. If Napoli beat Milan on Monday night, the Partenopei will recapture the leadership.
“These lads have been working so hard for three months and a hiccup can happen. Nothing has been decided yet,” continued Allegri.
“Obviously on Monday I’ll be cheering on Milan, but whatever happens then I am sure Juve will be fighting for the Scudetto to the very end.”
The attention now turns to Tuesday’s Champions League Round of 16 against Bayern Munich, above all the injury list.
“Mario Mandzukic is fine, Sami Khedira should return. We also hope that Giorgio Chiellini and Alex Sandro can recover quickly.
“We’ll need to be gritty, focused and realise it will be played over 180 minutes of football.”
