Allegri: Pjaca not Morata

Marko Pjaca is making progress at Juventus but coach Massimiliano Allegri talked down comparisons to Alvaro Morata.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri played down comparisons between Marko Pjaca and Alvaro Morata, but is pleased with the Croatian's progress.

Pjaca, 21, said he wanted to become "the new Morata," who starred for Juve before returning to Real Madrid ahead of this season.

The Croatia international has made five appearances – all off the bench – for the club this season

Allegri, however, talked down the comparisons to Morata, saying Pjaca lacked the same level of experience.

"He is a young player coming from Dinamo Zagreb," he said.
