Juventus coach Max Allegri was satisfied after victory over Europa League opponents Sporting CP.
Juve took control of the quarterfinal with this first-leg win thanks to Federico Gatti goal.
We made a few mistakes, the lads can improve, above all in the final cross when Perin made two crucial saves, we should've sensed the danger earlier," Allegri told Sky Italia.
We did better in the second half with three midfielders, who gave us better width. Sporting pressed high and lost intensity as the game wore on, I had to sort of adapt Angel Di Maria to a wide role and naturally they were causing us a few problems in midfield.
It was a good performance, it wasn't easy to win and to keep a clean sheet.
"I always say that football is not a mathematical equation. I decided to use those three upfront, we were often left unbalanced against a strong opponent like Sporting. We also should've done better in the misplaced passes when developing the moves out from the back.
I saw three forwards did well against Lazio, so I tried it again, but I think it is most important to remember the balance of the team and the various characteristics that players have when combined together. We don't want to lose the securities we had built up over the course of the season."
