Allegri happy with Juventus win

Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri hailed his side's professionalism after they ended a week of Serie A title celebrations with a 2-0 defeat of Carpi.

Juve clinched their fifth successive Scudetto on Monday after nearest rivals Napoli were beaten at Roma.

And while not being at their best against relegation-threatened Carpi, goals from Hernanes and Simone Zaza handed the hosts a comfortable victory.

"Happy? Very, especially because we kept a clean sheet. It was difficult after our celebrations," Allegri said.

"We didn't play well. We'll need to switch back on as we have two games and a Coppa Italia final [against AC Milan] remaining.

"Thanks to the fans for their trust and respect. We'll keep working towards the club achieving important results.

"We'll be competitive in Italy and Europe [next season]. Let’s not forget that we were knocked out of the Champions League by one of the favourites."

Allegri also praised Zaza, who grabbed his chance after coming on as a substitute.

"Zaza is a great football player and was really important during this season despite it being the first year with the Juventus shirt for him," Allegri added.

"Remember his goal against Napoli, the most important match because we were fighting for the title. Zaza can become a column of the Juventus first squad."
