The Bianconeri currently sit third in Serie A and take a 2-0 lead into Tuesday night바카라s return leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final in Rome against Lazio.
Allegri told a press conference: 바카라This year we started with two goals: to qualify for next year바카라s Champions League 바카라 we are currently third in the standings 바카라 and to win the Coppa Italia.
바카라I always say that when you play, the goal must be to go all the way in the competitions, always.
바카라Our focus now must be to go all the way in the Coppa Italia and that must be our goal. The team will be motivated and I바카라m sure none of us are thinking about the two-goal lead in the first leg.
바카라When you are at Juventus you have to play to get results, to win. The ambition must always be to reach our maximum.
바카라When you play in a great team it바카라s important to live with the desire and, consequently, the pressure to try to win trophies.바카라
Allegri is in his second spell as Juve boss after replacing the sacked Andrea Pirlo in 2021.
In his first stint in charge, from 2014-19, he guided Juve to five successive league titles, four Coppa Italias and to the Champions League final twice.
Second-half goals from Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic in the first leg at the Allianz Arena earlier this month put Juve in control of the tie.
But Allegri is not underestimating Lazio, who appointed Croatian Igor Tudor as head coach in March after Maurizio Sarri resigned.
바카라We will find a Lazio side that will play a very aggressive game, having to come back from two goals down,바카라 Allegri added.
바카라They are changing compared to the team coached by Sarri, they are much more aggressive. It will be a difficult match.
Allegri said he will monitor Chiesa, who played the full 90 minutes in Friday바카라s 2-2 draw at Cagliari.
Lazio boss Tudor believes his side must play the 바카라perfect match바카라 if they are to overturn a two-goal deficit.
He said: 바카라It바카라s an important match because we are playing to get into the final, against a strong team and with a (first-leg) result that isn바카라t easy.
바카라We must try until the end with all our strength to pass, we must believe and play a perfect match. Don바카라t make any mistakes and go with all our strength, this is our objective and let바카라s see what happens.바카라
