Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri: 'Now for the treble'

Massimiliano Allegri complimented Lazio for a game “worthy of a final” and said Juventus will “try to win the treble" after claiming the Coppa Italia.

Not only had the Bianconeri not won the Coppa Italia since 1995, that was also the last time they secured the double of Scudetto and cup under Marcello Lippi.

“Lazio had a great game, it was worthy of a final and we knew this would be different from in Serie A,” Allegri told Rai Sport after a 2-1 victory in extra time.

“We did well, they did well, they were unlucky hitting the woodwork twice in the same move and we were fortunate on our goal.

“Football is made of incidents. Before their upright we had two or three favourable situations we didn’t make the most of.

“They were very aggressive in the first half, while we did better after the break and should’ve been sharper, as two or three times we delayed the pass when attacking the line.

“I have to say that it wasn’t easy for the lads to win the Scudetto and Coppa Italia. Now we’ll try to win the third.”
