Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that it was important for his Juventus side to lead Serie A as they move into the new year.

The Bianconeri easily dispatched a poor Cagliari side after two early goals from Carlos Tevez and Arturo Vidal and can now look forward to their Supercoppa Italiana match against Napoli in Doha, Qatar.

“It was important to close out [the year] in first place and have the best preparation for the Super Cup,” he told Sky Sport Italia after his side’s win.

“Football matches are never finished, Cagliari are a side that never give up, they got better after they were 2-0 down and even when they were 3-0 down.

“After their goal, we started to play [again] but we did not have to risk anything.”

Allegri then addressed his side’s upcoming trip to Qatar to face Napoli in the Supercoppa.

“We will play to our maximum level without thinking about the resumption of [Serie A] against Inter.

“I am fortunate to coach a team that only wants to win and continue to impress, we want to win and to impress in other competitions.”
