Coach Max Allegri says he prefers the Juventus BBC trio to Lionel Messi, whilst defending Paul Pogba's behaviour with France.

The Coach released an interview during a children's training camp in which he discussed the new signing Miralem Pjanic as well as Alvaro Morata and Domenico Berardi.

Today's edition of La Repubblica is reporting some further statements by the Coach, in which he claims that he wouldn't swap the trio of Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini for Barcelona superstar Messi.

“I wouldn't swap them for any top player,” he said. “The BBC, along with [goalkeeper Gianluigi] Buffon, are already my Messi.

“Italy started out great and they'll enjoy a great Euro tournament. They showed courage, a will to fight and good organisation.”

The Coach then turned his attention to Pogba, who was accused of coming late for training with France and in his slippers.

“I'm certainly not afraid of losing him, although nobody can say what's going to happen. The idea is to reinforce our team while keeping Pogba, who never showed up at my training in slippers.

“It can happen sometimes that a player is late. Here, the only one who's never been late is [Stephan] Lichtsteiner, and he's Swiss.

“The coming season? We'll have to start off on the right foot, but this time we won't hurry our preparation phase.

“Our main objective is the sixth Scudetto. The Champions League is unpredictable, only [Arrigo] Sacchi's Milan won it twice in a row.

“As for my future, I'm thinking of an experience abroad, and then finishing my career with the national team, hopefully before I go senile. But for now, I hope to stay at Juventus for a long time.”
