Juve deserves win, says Allegri

 　　ROME, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri conceded² that Juventus were the better team after they beat his side 2-0 on Sunday.

　　The Rossoneri were beaten in Turin with two late goals from Claudio Marchisio, though there had been many chances before then.

　　"Juve certainly played very well and tonight we weren't up to the task, as we made a lot of mistakes in the one-on-ones. It's a shame to concede¹ so late in the day, but Juventus deserved³ it, truth be told," said the Milan Coach.

　　This was their second defeat of the season, the other being against another Scudetto contender⁴, Napoli.

　　"I don't think we have a problem in head-to-head matches. Tonight we simply weren't clear-headed, despite having some good chances and going close to taking home a point.

　　"In order to win here, you have to play at a certain tempo⁵ and we didn't do that, on top of the individual errors. The team did not play well, both going forward and in defending.

　　"Juventus deserved it, Milan played badly, it's only normal that after a month and a half with the same players always having to take to the field, fatigue⁶ will set in. There is absolutely nothing to worry about.
