The Juventus boss says he picks players on form as he prepares the Italian champions for a key run of matches over the next 12 days

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri was forced to defend his use of big-money signing Paulo Dybala last week after criticism from Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini and he has again given his backing to the Argentina international.

Zamparini accused Allegri of "ruining" Dybala after he only handed him seven minutes against Borussia Monchengladbach recently. 

Speaking ahead of Wednesday's game with Sassuolo, the boss of the Serie A champions insisted his selection is based on form.

"I don't choose players based on how much they cost. I choose whoever is playing better," he said.

"Dybala, I say again, has good quality. He'll become a great player but he needs time. A few weeks ago I said the same about [Juan] Cuadrado, but he cannot play every game until May."
