Been figured out and the system utilised by Allegri really shows his flaws.
Isolated up front, opposition sticks an aggressive centre back to get really tight to him, often in a 3-5-2. He can’t play flicks around the corner or lay the ball off to anyone near him because often there is no one within 10-15 metres of him and there are very rarely any runners that get in behind the back line.
He had both of those things for him at Fiorentina.
We will have to endure watching the odd miscontrols, heavy touches and falls to the floor whilst complaining to the ref as the system and personnel around him is not changing any time soon. The technique also won’t change overnight and he does need to continue working hard on making that first touch stick along with his movement to not allow a centre back to remain touch tight to him all game.
