I’d say Chiesa had it hardest of every player in the squad playing under Allegri. Played out of position with zero creative support, and tasked with doing solo what should be done by 2-3 players, taking the ball from our box to the opponent box and creating something from nothing there. Impossible ask. Thank god that nonsense is done with.

chiesa had both tactical and physical issues. if he manages to play a full season without major injuries he'll be lethal
that said, not playing him together with yildiz, either in a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3 was probably the most criminal thing macs did this season. it's just so obvious

His shooting touch let him down a lot this year, but even with that, the guy was just asked to basically be Messi on even more HGH for us. Allegri refused to play any other creative attacking player with him to lessen the burden. And then demanded that Chiesa track all the way back to our box to defend before being given the ball and asked to carry it up to the entire pitch because our midfielders were sitting in our penalty box. It was either him or Cambiaso on opposite sides of the pitch with zero support. Insane tactics.
Looks sharper and more clinical this days, hopefully he confirms this form at the Euro’s so that he can keep that confidence and drive going all the way into next season too.
Meaningless game or not, he looks like he is enjoying his football again. It’s funny what happens when you play people in their natural positions and give them other similar attack-minded players to play with…
Motta isn’t even our coach yet and hasn’t even taken one training session, but apparently all of these hacks know all of his tactical and personnel choices already.
