Allegri asks Juve fans to lay off Hernanes

Hernanes has been the target of criticism from Juventus fans and Massimiliano Allegri wants an end to his harsh treatment.

Massimiliano Allegri wants the Juventus fans to stop whistling Hernanes and get behind the maligned Brazilian midfielder.

Hernanes arrived from Serie A rival Inter at the start of last season but struggled to hold down a regular first-team place, making only 14 league appearances in 2015-16.

The 31-year-old is yet to start a match in the new campaign and Allegri says the fans getting on his back will not help the situation, calling for them to show appreciation.
