Allegri delighted as Juventus thrash Salernitana in Coppa

Juventus coach Max Allegri was delighted with their rout of Salernitana in the Coppa Italia.

After going 1-0 down, Juve rampaged to a 6-1 win on Thursday.

Allegri said: “We conceded an unexpected goal, the team's reaction was good. We had never managed to overturn a game, it's a good sign, it means we're fine.

“We had to play a game with great attention, on Sunday we'll find a different team. We have to enjoy this victory but from tomorrow we have to think about Sunday.

“Excellent responses from everyone, we have grown. Tonight, we played better, we ran forward a lot, creating many passing lines. We need to be clearer in the last pass, raise the percentage of accurate passes.

“When the others are on their feet, it is important to have these changes, if we then are good at playing with more offensive players, even better, but this depends on the growth of the players."
