Comes on, backs off the ball that leads to a corner. Then dangles a foot from a shot outside the box that hits the post. Allegri thinks that he’s bringing Barzagli on to shore up the defence, but all he’s bringing on is a washed up turd.
Same used to happen with Barzagli too at the end. We dropped points almost everytime (came close in the rest) he brought him on to shut up shop. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.

I can’t ever remember Barzagli backing off 5-10 yards off the ball unnecessarily before. I saw Chiellini do it a few times, last time was against North Macedonia in that qualifier, but I can’t recall Barzagli ever looking fearful and doing shit like that.

He still had lost some steps and was behind the play. The game against union from the top of my head there were others too. It's max old habits will never change his way. Watch him do the same even though it clearly doesn't work anymore.

I agree that it doesn’t really work anymore. Sitting that deep and not putting any pressure on the ball, especially in the VAR era is going to burn you with far more regularity.
The whole go into your shell strategy when ahead is so outdated, but Allegri never learns. All it does is invites pressure. Against a club like Lecce there should be no reason for it. As soon as Bonucci came on their chances increased. A better club could’ve easily equalized.
Doesn't mean anything to me, never took normal celebrations as disrespectful and never understood why fans do.
He didn't speak badly about the club when he went away, he came back with his tail between his legs, not gonna let one moment ruin so many other great moments he provided me as a fan.
