Massimiliano Allegri: 'Juventus must improve defensively'

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that his team must improve defensively after their recent performances.

The Bianconeri were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Roma on Monday before falling to a 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia three days later.

"I am not worried," he told reporters. "The goals we conceded are mistakes that must be analysed, identified and avoided.

"We have to improve these things, but we're still in mid-March and in the running for all three competitions."

Juventus are back in league action when they host Sassuolo on Monday evening.
