The Bianconeri boss spoke to the media following his side’s 2-1 win in Hong Kong.
Medhi Benatia and Lorenzo Rosseti scored the goals for Juventus in today’s friendly victory. Allegri used 22 players in today’s game to test out different formations and give his youth a chance to shine – a rarity in Italian football.
“Today was a good test. These were completely different conditions to our matches in Melbourne. It wasn’t easy playing in this temperature, but the boys dug deep.
“We’ve now ended the first part of our pre-season preparations without suffering any injuries, which is a good sign. Now we’re looking forward to regrouping on Tuesday, which will well and truly mark the start of our season.
“This will be an important campaign like every other for this club, because we always aim at achieving all of our objectives. We’ve five new players to bed in to the side, who all have different attributes.
“We need to show the necessary drive, but also humility, from the off, as we can’t take anything for granted. We paid the price for that during the first two months last term. We’re determined to make sure that doesn’t happen again this time around.
“It’s important that we put in good groundwork early on so that we can get to March and still be in contention on all three fronts: the Serie A, Champions League and Coppa Italia.”
