Max Allegri explained his reasoning behind the crucial substitution as Juventus won the Coppa Italia Final against Milan.
Alvaro Morata came off the bench in extra time and scored with practically his first touch in a 1-0 result.
“I have to compliment the lads, as it was not easy to play tonight. It was a good Milan in the first half, we had a few favourable moments in the second half, took the lead and then risked an equaliser at the end.
“That’s what a Final is, it’s made up of moments and you need that little bit of luck,” the Coach told Rai Sport.
“It wasn’t easy for the players, as for the last six weeks they’d basically been without much motivation and needed to get their minds back in the right place to win.”
Why did Allegri decide to introduce Morata for Hernanes as his final substitution?
“In extra time I had two choices, taking it to penalties or try to break the game open. I tried to break it open and fortunately it went well!”
The Bianconeri are the first side ever to retain the Double – winning the Scudetto and Coppa Italia two years in a row.
“Juventus are not sated, because the tradition of this club is to always fight to win. Next season we must prepare at our best to win a sixth straight Scudetto, but above all to have a great Champions League campaign.”
