Post Match Comments:
Khedira: “I think especially in the first half we had not so much movement, but after the break we had better situations and more opportunities to score. In the end, I think it was a good result for us. At this stage last season, Juve had zero points, but now they have six. This year we know, as we learned from last year. Of course we lost Paul Pogba, but we had the same team and some great new players this summer.”
Allegri: “We have our path to follow. It was so hot today and we made a lot of mistakes in the first half. After the break we did well, but I remember the first six touches from Kwadwo Asamoah, for example, were all bad. This Juve is different from the others. We introduced many new players compared to last year. It would be a mistake to seek players similar to the ones we’ve already got. Matuidi? I told the club to sign good players, then I’ll figure out a way to use them.”
