Juventus, Allegri tells Higuain to ‘learn from Buffon’

Juventus boss Max Allegri held a press conference on Saturday afternoon, on the eve of the game against Atalanta. The Italian tactician praised Gonzalo Higuain for his goal against Olympiacos. But the Argentinean’s goal is still not enough for Allegri.

“He is an important player for he. He has always been even if I benched him for the last two games. Every year is different, it all starts from the beginning and he should never settle for anything. We have a few players that embody this spirit like Buffon, Chiellini, Marchisi, Lichtsteiner and Barzagli, they won six Serie A titles and they must be an example. I am happy for what Higuain did, we need his goals, he will play tomorrow."

“I’ll make a few changes tomorrow, Chiellini should play but I will change something else. I am happy there will be the International break. Marchisio and Khedira should return to action after the break, I hope Pjanic can play against Lazio. Matuidi and Bentancur are available. I could also play Sturaro or Asamoah, they are also eligible to play.”
