Juventus, Allegri: "Squad lacking sharpness and mental strength. Chiellini? I don't know if he'll join Italy squad"

Juventus manager Max Allegri spoke after the 0-0 away draw to SPAL: "We lost two players that can be valid substitutions. It is not a justification, but a fact. The squad had little mental strength. Complements to SPAL, who were naughty and didn't allow us to play. We weren't sharp in the chances that we created. Being in on top of the league is a good signal, as we could have tied in Rome against Lazio and won here instead... Our opponents did what they had to do and after the early pressure, we didn't think fast enough. I put on Bentacur on for this reason, but he wasn't wrmed up. Chiellini? I don't know if he will join the Italy squad because he has a pain in his hip flexor. We need to rest. We are still in Europe for the first 15 day of April and and we will put everything into the league. Only 9 games remain and tonight was one to win to gain more point. The head-to-head game on APril 22 is not overly important, let's see what Napoli does tomorrow. You never know with calico."
