Juventus coach Max Allegri was pleased with his players after their 4-2 win against Sampdoria.

Juve won 4-2, with Samp fighting back from 2-0 down to level 2-2.

Allegri said, I think the team must improve in game management. We were leading 2-0, we had to close up the spaces and go on the counter-attack. The older defenders should've told off the younger ones and got them back into position.

"These are situations you get when players haven't had many games for Juventus."

Dusan Vlahovic missed a penalty at 3-2, with Matias Soule netting from the rebound to settle the game.

Allegri added, Vlahovic just needs to stay calm, he had a very good game, he did much better today on a technical level. Every now and then, he uses up too much energy, so he has to just take it easy. Let's not forget he's only been at Juventus for a year, he is doing well and has everything it takes to improve.

Once he is able to learn that game management, he will be less hasty when the ball arrives and more clinical in finishing."
