The Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri explained his decision to leave Gonzalo Higuain on the bench in Olympiakos (2: 0) in the Champions League. In his view, the Argentine has shown an unbeatable form lately, and it has led him not to bet on it from the first minute. He, however, helped a lot for the success of the Bianconeri after he emerged from the bench and scored the first goal in the match. Allegri said he is still a player who can make matches.

`I made the decision for Higuain. He was not in good shape compared to our other assailants. Tonight, however, he moved much faster and had the right attitude. I have never had a problem with it and I will never have it. He is still a football player who can make matches!`, Allegri said.

The coach also commented on the performance of the entire team in the game, which was won with a lot of effort.

`Tonight Juventus played intelligently and patiently. We took some risks of the counterattack. Olympiacos recently changed his coach and the team made a very strong defense. They nicely closed the spaces, and we did not move the ball fast enough.When the enemy gets tired, more spaces are opened and we take the best advantage!`, the specialist added.
