Massimiliano Allegri

“We must play for everything until the end.”

“Ronaldinho and Robinho are two totally different players.”

“I think a coach, like a business leader who has people under him, needs to know how to wait patiently for the results of the work.”

“There are matches you have to win, but when you realise that you cannot win, you have to make sure you don't lose.”

“Life is like that: you need ups and downs for it to be interesting.”

“Playing in Milan is never easy because the San Siro always commands great performances.”

“Any player over 40-50 games per season will have moments of fatigue, let alone a 22-year-old who has a lot to learn on how to control games and pace himself throughout 90 minutes.”

“Narcissism in moderate amounts is not harmful to health.”

“Every year, Juventus manage to build up a very competitive group of players with the aim of keep winning.”

“We need to start from a presupposition: namely, that there is no 'better' football and no 'worse' kind of football, just different styles and cultures that belong to each country.”

“The lower you go down the levels, the more players think they need to hang on to the ball to prove how talented they are, but that's not football.”

“Man-marking Messi is almost impossible.”

“I have felt like a 'juventino' since I set foot here. Here, you have 12 million supporters; everyone else has their team and then roots against us.”

“Playing in the Champions League ought to be a pleasure and a joy.”

“Youngsters are going to have peaks and troughs, as Alvaro Morata did, on their way to maturity.”

“Juventus will never be like Real Madrid or Barcelona because its history and playing style speak for itself.”

“Ronaldo plus Juventus does not guarantee the Champions League. There are so many components in football.”

“I am always pleased to talk about Buffon. He is an extraordinary player, a professional with values.”

“Life is like this: things come and go.”

“I'm sorry for Italian football; there's no desire to improve Italian football.”
