Damn, Max schooled those clowns

--

Max Allegri shared his frustrating comments on the controversy surrounding Juventus in the media in recent weeks.


“I won’t talk about the dressing room, because I haven’t seen it, I can only give my reaction, and I think that will take a bit of time and we should talk about it in another setting. I think Italian football must go down a completely different path, because we’re definitely not setting a good example. Above all I think there are rules in life and it takes education and respect. Especially for children in football academies, who see certain things on Serie A pitches from an early age. It’s not what happened on Friday, Friday is the latest in a long list of things which have happened.”


Max was adamantly harsh on the media and fans and criticized the “Italian way” of doing things and the nature of the media to create controversy with Juve whenever they win.


“In life you have to do, not talk, you need to have respect, rules and education. Then you need to have the culture of winning and losing, but this is a topic that I can’t address properly in two minutes. I have my ideas, but it’s difficult in Italy…In Italy we promise and say things, then do the opposite of what was said. If we want to be constructive, we have to be better at planning, in building things for the future. That’s my view. Friday was a beautiful game between two teams who fought hard, between the two sides the one which deserved to win was Juventus, then there was another team who are doing great things in the League and that’s Milan. The 17-20 points of difference are everything, these controversies which arose on Friday, as they have arisen in other situations, must in no way affect what the team is doing, what the lads are doing.”


Allegri talked about the hostile environment that is created around the officials when things don’t go a team’s way.


“As I’ve said before, we only remember the things which go against us. The things in our favour, never, and genuinely, certain statements make me smile, but not on Friday and also on other occasions. One week we attack a referee because he didn’t give a penalty, the next our referees are better than anyone’s. We’re on the edge of madness, lads, in Italy we’re on the edge of madness.”

God damn.

Lippi-esque coolness and style in those answers. Fantastic in his pre and post game interviews.

At this point I can see Allegri leaving for a new league. Not because he "lost the dressing room" (which is fabricated) but because he is tired of everyone else taking pot shots and slinging mud on Juve. He probably feels he or the club simply are getting the respect they deserve and might say soon enough he is gonna take his talents elsewhere.

Yep.

I agree there too. Imagine having to put up with this fucking garbage day in, day out. These assholes in the media and running the other clubs are succeeding in just poisoning everything that has to do with us.

No one in Italy comes close. Also has to do with the club environment IMO.

I wonder if he remembers that he has guys like Lemina, Rincon and Sturaro in the team. lately it seems that we're set to keep playing the way we have, which would mean combined 10 minutes per game for those three.

If we lose Allegri, Conte is the only one I want.

This man speaketh the truth and the truth shall free him.

Allegri to stay 2-3 years, win a CL somewhere in there for us.

Conte dominates PL and gains more CL experience. Comes back to replace Allegri in 2019-20. Wins treble on first try. Gigi retires with 2 CL trophies.

Please stay, Max
While Arsenal or Barcelona talk continues, Adam Digby warns Juventus fans don’t appreciate Max Allegri’s importance.



For such a charismatic and charming Tuscan, Max Allegri has certainly proven to be a divisive figure.

Even now, more than three years since his dismissal, Milan supporters struggle to agree on the lasting legacy and accountability of his Rossoneri tenure. How much of their slide into mediocrity was his fault is balanced against how deeply was he undermined by the club’s desperate internal problems, the failure to replace ageing players somehow blamed on a man only ever in charge of on-field issues.

Yes, he made mistakes, and his time in Turin has shown that he has learned from many of them. Now more tactically aware during matches and much-improved in his use of substitutions, he has still split the judgement of the Juventus fanbase as to how much credit he deserves for the success the Old Lady has enjoyed on his watch.

Every time Daniele Rugani or Marko Pjaca is omitted from the starting XI, Allegri is taken to task over a perceived reluctance to field youngsters, as if his work in developing Mattia De Sciglio, Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala happened in spite of him rather than because of him.

Even when decisions as bold as changing to a back four in 2014-15 or to 4-2-3-1 this January paid off in spectacular fashion, his tactics and team selection continue to be second-guessed by armchair experts who believe their success on FIFA 17 or Football Manager give them a level of insight beyond that of a three-time Scudetto winner.

To those fans, I offer six words of advice, one for each league title this record-breaking team appears certain to have won by the end of this season; be careful what you wish for.

Simply put, Juventus were damn lucky to land Allegri back in July 2014. Antonio Conte walked away that summer, replaced just 24 hours later by the former Pescara midfielder, and they proved to be the perfect match. Where the current Chelsea boss failed to balance the demands of multiple competitions, his successor showed incredible skill, as he deftly steered the side to a first League-and-Cup double in two decades and ended a 12-year wait for a Champions League Final berth.

Despite a complete overhaul of the playing staff ahead of the following season, he once again swept over Juve’s domestic competition, but came up short in Europe after giving Bayern Munich a scare in the last 16. This year – with another influx of talent – the Bianconeri seem much-improved yet again, holding their rivals at home at arm’s length and seeking to go much further in the Champions League once more.

Rumours of discord within the squad came to the fore as tensions with Stephan Lichtsteiner, Leonardo Bonucci and Dybala all boiled over in full view, but the team’s performances rubbish that narrative comprehensively. A group divided in the manner many insist Juventus have been would not fight so strongly for their Coach. Allegri turned around a number of matches that appeared to be lost with the help of a cohesive unit that so clearly believe in themselves and the man on the sidelines.

Talk of a summer exit has continued for months, with Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain or even Barcelona touted as possible destinations. Luciano Spalletti and Paulo Sousa have been mentioned as replacements, two names which should terrify Juventus supporters, each seeming more and more flawed as the campaign heads to a close. Roma have looked drained and desperate without an alternative approach when Plan A fails, while Fiorentina appear rudderless in every match except their win over the Bianconeri back in January.

With that historic sixth Scudetto looking increasingly certain, Allegri will hopefully decide to stay and try for a fourth title of his own with the club. Replacing him looks much more difficult than the search for someone to step in after Conte’s hasty exit, while the club’s failure to taste European success in 21 years surely makes delivering Champions League glory his ultimate aim.

Who knows, that might even see him become universally admired by Juventus fans.
