Allegri: Mandzukic Important Player for Juventus

DBasia.news – Mario Mandzukic once again showed his class as a great striker for his decisive 1-0 goal against Inter Milan in Derby d’Italia.

Massimiliano Allegri hails his impressive performance. Allegri admits that he is a vital player in the squad.

For Allegri, the former Bayern Munchen striker is reliable to break the stagnation in Juventus, including the match against Inter at Allianz Stadium.

“Mandzukic is vital. Bayern struggled to win in Europe since they sold him. He is a heavy player, he is always focused on the game.”

Regarding his goal at 66′, Allegri said it matches his scenario.

“I asked with the crosses to avoid Milan Skriniar and Joao Miranda, to work on the full-backs who were less physical than we were in those roles,” Allegri repeated.

For Mandzukic, that’s the 8th goal for Juventus this season. From that 8 goals, 4 of them were decisive.
