Juventus coach Allegri satisfied with Roma draw

Juventus coach Max Allegri was happy with their 1-1 draw with AS Roma.

Romelu Lukaku had Roma 1-0 ahead before Gleison Bremer's equaliser.

We risked losing a game that we were in a position to win at the start of the second half," Allegri told DAZN.

It was natural that Roma then came back at us, but in the final minutes our control of the ball was incredibly bad. We really did risk throwing away a valuable result in a head-to-head clash.

There are regrets, naturally we could've done better during this period, but football is vicious like that, sometimes it just doesn't go your way. We sort of crumbled after the home defeat to Udinese.

Knowing full well that Inter are clearly better, and that we had a 12-14 point lead over the chasing pack, it becomes natural to slow down a bit.

There was also a run of incidents in those games where Milik was sent off, then Vlahovic, Kean and Chiesa were not in good shape, then Rabiot got hurt too, McKennie's shoulder was dislocated, there were some unfavourable situations.

It doesn't take long for you to capitulate, especially at Juventus when everyone is ready to dive in and criticise, but the lads managed to calm down and take it one step at a time. Now we have a good advantage and have the opportunity to seal it on Saturday against Salernitana.

So yes, there are regrets we didn't do better, but there were a few situations that slotted together to cause us problems."
