Massimiliano Allegri, coach of Juventus, where 15 points were deducted on the table after the verdict of the Appeals Commission of the Italian Football Federation, this Saturday he sent a message to the fans and the world in general: his team does not give up and will fight to go to Europe. The Juventus penalty is for changing the valuation of footballers in some transfers and generating capital gains. “Nothing changes, we have to score points,” Allegri said on the eve of Sunday’s game against Atalanta in Serie A.
Allegri told the media: “When they told me the sanction was 9 points, I started doing calculations to see what we need to get to the Champions League. When I found out that it was 15, he did another calculation, to see the points that separate us from the European zone (there are also 12)”.
The Juventus coach also said: “The judicial issue concerns the club. We just have to think about what will happen on the pitch with no remorse for 2 months, when the final sentence is made. Right now you have to accept one on Friday, which does not refer to the sports part”.
Allegri is convinced that “the boys will do their best for getting the maximum points and achieving something extraordinary, all situations can be changed at once, we can’t say where we will be on June 5, but there are 60 points left to win the championship, we is 12 away from fourth place; For me, I will continue being the manager of Juventus unless they kick me out.”
From being 3rd in Serie A, Juventus went to 10th, 12 points behind Lazio and the Champions League, as well as Atalanta and the Europa League. In the Europa League playoffs, Juventus (eliminated from the Champions League) will face Nantes.
