The Italian journalist Giancarlo Padovan has slammed Max Allegri for his selection choices against Fiorentina.
A tinkering Allegri left Dusan Vlahovic on the bench and partnered Weston McKennie and Manuel Locatelli in midfield.
Although Juve started the game well and took the lead through Arkadiusz Milik, La Viola soon pegged them back, and both teams eventually shared the spoils.
The Bianconeri threw away two important points because of the outcome of that game and Padovan believes the problem lies with the selection choices Allegri made for the fixture.
He writes in his column on Calciomercato:
“Allegri had a cold sweat, but he created the problems himself. Just let Vlahovic rest for Milik, who scored the advantage among other things. Wrong to deploy Locatelli and McKennie (absolutely unpresentable) and, above all, to field, during the game, the intangible Kean, or a striker who loses the few balls they give him. Thinking that Juve bought it back for 35 million puts sadness and restlessness .”
Juve FC Says
Allegri sometimes loves to tinker with his squad and it does pay off occasionally.
This time, it hasn’t and we expect him to learn from that experience and do better with his next team selection.
The Bianconeri gaffer remains one of the finest in the business and he should bounce back in his team’s next game.
allegri is an old dinosaur. describing as `one of the best in the business ` is a disgrace. i really wish he`d joined real after they `begged` him…amirite? there`s nothing worse than brand fans. I will always support the players when a coach is useless and doesn`t coach.
Since last seasons, i see so many bad decision made by Allegri. Tactical approach during the game not repsented the “lo spirito” as we know Juve always in the past. Normally big team like Juve create the gameplay on field and dictated the game, but what we see in latest game, Juve follow the opponent game, and difficult to go out. Juve struggled to control the game, and Juve player also lack on the creativity. Hide behind our own fields on the game after leading and deploy negative minded game to secure the point but defensive mentality was so poor because Juve player was very bad to keep the ball under high pressure from the opponent. Too many problem should be solve under Allegri, and hope he realized the situation..seeing Juve this moments was very under expectation.
Allegri is killing this team. It’s now 6points lost. Three draws that doesn’t make any sense. So what’s he’s excuse this time around
