Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke to the press ahead of the clash with Malmo: “It is an important game. I am excited to be back in the Champions League. Every tilt is difficult here, and they are a very physical team. Afterward, we will focus on trying to fix our Serie A table, which will take longer. But I am confident.”
? Allegri: "In football you can never predict what will happen. We must try to make the right things happen. In this moment in the league it has not gone well, despite the fact that the team has the right application. Tomorrow we must be focused on the #UCL."#MFFJuve #JuveUCL

“We have to remain serene because we have had some good performances here and there, but we paid the price for some individual mistakes, which are not anything unusual. Surely, it is weird they all happened in short order. Anyway, Juventus would not have killed the League had we earned seven points already. The title race will be balanced, as I do not think anybody will run away with it. We want to return to the top positions in the next month and a half.”
? Allegri: "We have to keep working, sometimes things happen in football that you don't expect. @13Szczesny13 is a high-level goalkeeper and he will play tomorrow."#MFFJuve #JuveUCL

“It is clear that we have had some consistency issues, both as a team and individually. We have to ameliorate on the pitch and mentally. Juventus have the quality to have a great season, but we have to use it from start to finish. We endured too many negative situations already. We must find our humility and spirit of sacrifice back. The players must take responsibility, avoiding alibis. We just have to wake up, especially the youngsters. When you wear this jersey, victory is the only goal. We must show some fight. The pressure will be on us tomorrow, but we have to get used to that. We are not among the favorites in Champions League, but that does not mean that we do not want to win it.”
? Allegri: "Kulusevski is a player who has important qualities but he must improve in his game management. I'll decide tomorrow morning whether or not he starts the match."#MFFJuve #JuveUCL
