Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri: 'Something has to change'

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri cuts a frustrated figure following his side's first home league defeat in more than two years, leaving them five points off the pace.

Massimiliano Allegri has confessed that Juventus will not retain their Serie A crown the way things are going after suffering a rare home defeat on Saturday.

The Bianconeri, triumphant in the Italian top flight six years running, currently find themselves down in fourth place and five points adrift of pacesetters Napoli.

Juve threw away two points at Atalanta BC prior to the international break and squandered a first-half lead at the Allianz Stadium against Lazio this weekend, as they lost at home for the first time since August 2015.

Speaking to Mediaset Premium after the match, Allegri said: "We had the warning signs against Torino, Sassuolo and Atalanta. We have these drops in concentration and pay a heavy price for them. Between Bergamo and today we have dropped five points and haven't realised yet that to win the Scudetto you must fight every single day.

"It's a hard slog. Some were a little tired, others carrying knocks, but these are not excuses, as we dropped five points. Now we've got an important game on Wednesday against Sporting in the Champions League and we have to win. We ran into a very well-organised Lazio side that is dangerous on the counter.

"I was just disappointed we lost the ball too easily. We were too soft in the tackle, otherwise Lazio never really got into our half in the first period. Those are the moments that decide a match. If you drop a point here and a point there, in the end you're not going to win the Scudetto."

Second-placed Lazio, who still boast a 100% away record this season, had previously gone 14 years without beating Juventus in the league.
