As Juventus struggles to replicate their achievements of last season, some fans would keep comparing both campaigns.
One individual who has been outspoken about it is the son of Andrea Pirlo, Nicolo Pirlo.
His father was the manager of the Bianconeri in the last campaign, and he won the Super Cup and the Coppa Italia, while finishing inside the top four.
Juve has already lost the Super Cup in this campaign, and they are still struggling to finish inside the top four.
Nicolo insists his father’s Juve team was much better than the current one. He tweeted: “The fact remains that last year’s Juve were much better, am I wrong about that too?”
He would later attempt to clarify his statements and posted again: “However, don’t misinterpret my words, I’m talking about the way we play, not anything else. Juve this year is a great team, respect for the coach and the players!”
Juve FC Says
Pirlo’s team was better to watch than the current Juve side, and we underestimated his achievements with the group.
We now see that he truly did a good job at the helm, and he probably would have done a better one if he stayed on the job.
Allegri has won more trophies in the game than the former midfielder, and it is hard to fault the club for appointing him as their latest manager.
We need to support him and see how his team will perform next season.
What ifs…
Fact is Juve is doing better in this season than under Pirlo
Already in top 4
Same fesults in the UCL
& if Juve wins the Coppa Italia also same result
So, already being in top 4 (qualifying for the UCL is better than last season, where we only made it in the very last match (with a little help from Verona).
Pirlo failed and needed a miracle on the last day to get to top four, his players didn’t even understand half of his instructions. It is very unsavoury of him to put this, and I see no clubs insisting on his father the best future either.
Remain to be seen if Allegri would experience later similar emergency situation..Fiorentina and Roma is knocking on the door with 5 or 6 games to play..Sassuolo is no push over, with Viola side also to deal on final show down.
Agreed, nothing is guaranteed and i`m not a fan of either of them, it is just not very good to tweet these things out before the season ends, although he thinks he`s defending his Father, who is long gone from his days here and never returning…it just encourages a split in the fanbase through irrelevance. I will say this about pirlo, he wasn`t given as much time as allegri will be, so we`ll never know
