Allegri: 'Harder to win than be beautiful’
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri warns “it’s easier to be beautiful than winning” and predicts “it’ll take 86 points” to win the Scudetto. The Bianconeri are currently two points off the top of Serie A, with Napoli maintaining a perfect record, but the Tuscan tactician isn’t panicking.


“Are we worried? No, we’re respectful of Napoli, Inter and Roma,” Allegri told Tuttosport. “Milan also had a big signing campaign to get into the top four and now they’ve become a bit detached. In the end these five teams - unless Lazio enter - will play for four places.
“Napoli have grown, they’d have three years of the same team playing together. “Juventus have changed a lot and continued to win, they’ve grown in their play and it’s normal that this year, with a two point advantage, they feel, along with us, favourites for the Scudetto but it’s early. “The season will be decided in March, as it always is. “It’ll take 86 points to win, Roma and Napoli will have to re-do their records.”
Allegri was then asked about the 2-2 draw with Atalanta before the international break, and his response has been taken by some as a jab at Napoli.
“We had 35 beautiful minutes against Atalanta. We went 2-0 up and then we started to do less and less… “Football is ultimately a matter of solidity. Basking in your ability loses titles, it’s easier to be beautiful than winning.”

Calciomercato is gutter trash.

Simone Inzaghi is the only worthy replacement for Max. No one else will do.

Allegri said the CL is a dream, not an objective. It is easy to understand why he said this. There are too many variables in a CL season for it to be called an objective- one bad game can end your tournament and the element of luck is always present. The scudetto, on the other hand depends on how consistent your team is, and the best team will win 9 times out of 10.

'Higuain will have a great month’
By Football Italia staff
Gonzalo Higuain “will have a great month” according to Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The Argentinian wasn’t called-up for international duty, and the Bianconeri boss has seen positive signs in training over the break.
“[Sami] Khedira could play tomorrow, I’ll have to evaluate things in the training session today,” Allegri explained in his pre-match Press conference.
“Those who are more rested will be available tomorrow and have a chance of playing. Everyone’s come back fine, apart from [Rodrigo] Bentancur, who I haven’t seen yet.
“[Paulo] Dybala is rested, he basically spent 15 days on holiday so I’d say he’s in good condition.
“The others who stayed here worked really well, one of whom is Higuain who has definitely improved his condition.
“He’s motivated, and I think he’ll have a great month.
“I’m not going to speak about Higuain and the national team, but he’s motivated to have a great season for Juventus, and on a personal level he’ll want to go to the World Cup.
“To do that though, he has to have a great season. In the 15 days he stayed here he worked really well, and he’s in good condition right now.”
Allegri suggested in an interview this week that the importance of Coaches is overstated, and he was asked about those comments.
“Being a Coach is not easy. There are different categories to everything in life. There are CEOs of companies who earn €50m and others who earn €500,000.
“It’s normal that when you Coach great teams then you have to deal with champions, and the Coach has an importance within the squad.
“It’s all well and good to say you’ll play 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-3… well, not 3-5-3 because we only get 11 players! There are so many facets though, and I always say no-one is the same.
“I just think the difference a Coach makes or doesn’t make isn’t so much on a tactical level. The more good players you have, the easier it is to be a Coach.
“Maybe the way you manage them is different, but life is made up of categories and you can’t get away from that. In any sector.
“So how much difference does the Coach make? In terms of percentages, don’t talk about numbers because I struggle: 50-30-40-70, I don’t know.
“I’d say that a Coach has to know when the right moment is to tighten things, and when the best moment to ease off is, but that’s just part of managing a year.”

Allegri: 'Defence wins titles’
By Football Italia staff
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri notes that nine of the last 10 Scudetto winners have had the best defence.
The Bianconeri have been the best defensive unit in the country for the past six years, but they’ve conceded five goals so far this term.
“I only know one thing, and that’s that in the last 10 years only once has the team with the second best defensive record won the Scudetto,” Allegri said in his Press conference before the Lazio match. (nice dig at Napoli)
“I think Inter had the second best defence in 2010. Just that year, only that one. For the rest the best defence has always won the league, always, always.
“In the end that’s what will come out, I think right now Napoli have conceded five goals, like us, but Roma have only conceded three.
“Roma have played a game fewer, so we’ll need to see what they do in Genoa [against Sampdoria].
“That’s what the last 10 years tell us. Maybe this year it’ll be the other way round, but it’s difficult.”
Juventus have several players in the Italy team, could they be distracted by the play-off in November?
“Right now I think we have to get behind the national team, because there’s an important play-off and Italy have to go to the World Cup.
“The objective for the national team is to get to the World Cup, it doesn’t matter if you go through a play-off or not, all that counts is getting there.
“Juve have to think about this month, then we’ll see how the Italians are after the play-off.
“If we’re in a position where we can do it, we’ll send them on holiday for four or five days and others will play.”
