But he’s now unfortunately back.
maybe he need a coaching from guardiola.
You old news. Why are you even still here anymore?
how can this guy still doesn't see that we only cross the ball for years by now? and our players just jog around, with 3 or more players jogging around the penalty box hoping for a cross, and we can't counter properly either and he said we need to score more goals
Allegri: ‘Juventus can’t relax’ | Football Italia
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri warns they can’t be distracted by Manchester United - “winning games is not easy”.
The Bianconeri face the Red Devils in the Champions League on Wednesday, but first they take on Cagliari in Turin.
“I’m asking for what we have to do, which is to win the game,” Allegri began in his pre-match Press conference.
“The proof of that is Empoli where we struggled, because we started well and then fell asleep. So winning games is not easy.
“You’re playing against teams with their own goals to achieve, and then they’re playing against Juventus so getting a result is an important scalp for them, particularly this year.
“We need to show great respect and keep our concentration high to win these games, which you can only win on the pitch.
“We can’t afford to drop points because Inter and Napoli are behind us. It’s a long season, there are many points available and we can’t afford to get it wrong.
“The league is different from the Champions League, because in the latter there are fewer games and they’re all high profile.
“In the league it’s different, and we could put the league at risk with these drops in intensity. We actually suffered less against Genoa [a draw] than against Empoli [a win].
“Tomorrow we face Cagliari, the team that runs the most. They have good technique and a striker like [Leonardo] Pavoletti who is one of the best in the penalty box and in the air.
"Cagliari are a very fast team and above all they have Pavoletti who is very strong in the air. We are a very physical team if [Mario] Mandzukic plays, without him we become less physical
“We need to get back to winning ways in our stadium in the the league, and after that we can think about the Champions League.
“We have the chance to secure qualification and then we go to Milan before the international break. We have a nice week ahead of us.
“We’re going strong, but so are those behind us. Inter are having a great season, Napoli lost the head-to-head game and that’s the only difference between ourselves and Napoli.
“We can’t think about what has been done, we have a game tomorrow that we have to win. To do that you need great respect for the opponent throughout the game, unless you can kill it before then.
“This year we’re creating more than last year but we’re scoring less. Part of that lower percentage is scoring on a dead ball, and we have to do that tomorrow.
"We also need to try not to concede, because we've conceded seven so far and that projects to 30 across the season.
"That could put the Scudetto at risk, because with 30 goals conceded you won't win the league.
It was reported this morning that Giorgio Chellini could miss out…
“Chiellini and [Federico] Bernardeschi will be out tomorrow. [Sami] Khedira and [Mario] Mandzukic are back in the group.
"[Miralem] Pjanic and [Blaise] Matuidi will play unless they pass out today. For the third I need to choose between [Rodrigo] Bentancur, [Juan] Cuadrado as a mezzala or Khedira, who hasn't played for a long time.
"At the back [Joao] Cancelo will come back in, [Leo] Bonucci will play and then I have to choose one centre-back and who will play left-back, Alex Sandro - who has played a lot of games - or [Mattia] De Sciglio.
"Up-front Ronaldo will play and I need to decide who will play with him. Mandzukic is fine, he needed to recover his mental energy as much as anything.
"We'll see if we go for two midfielders or three, and who goes next to Ronaldo. It could be [Paulo] Dybala, Mandzukic or Douglas Costa, who is getting back to top condition.
"Mattia Perin? No, [Wojciech] Szczesny will play. Perin will get his chance though, Juventus need two great goalkeepers but of course there has to be a first and a second.
"The decision to sign Perin was inspired though."
Even before his injury, many pundits and fans felt Bernardeschi had suffered a drop in form.
“We need to be balanced,” Allegri said.
“Federico has made great strides, but after the first games he was painted as someone who was transformed and was already a great player.
“Then we went to the national team and came back with a muscular problem and he played through it. Now I’ve put him out and until he’s fit he won’t be back. His recent performances are due to that.
“It takes calm and balance, we got caught up in early enthusiasm, but players need to grow mentally.
“Federico made a crazy jump in quality, which is to his credit, but finding the right maturity takes time. That goes for him, [Daniele] Rugani and many youngsters in Italy.
“In Italy we get too carried away.”

Allegri: ‘Barcelona are CL favourites’ | Football Italia
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri dismisses talk of being Champions League favourites - “this year the prime candidate is Barcelona”.
The Bianconeri have won all three of their European matches so far, and have been touted by many as potential winners.
“We’re working this year, as in recent years, to achieve the objective we haven’t been able to achieve in recent years,” Allegri acknowledged in his pre-Cagliari Press conference.
“It also takes a bit of luck. Juventus have played two finals in the last four years, and it’s not nothing that in the other two we were eliminated after a great match in Madrid and after overturning the first leg in Munich.
“I don’t feel privileged, I feel like a Coach who is fortunate enough to be at Juventus, one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and with a squad that can aspire to win the Champions League. But it’s not certain, just as the league isn’t.
“Last year when Real Madrid were 20 points behind Barcelona I said they were favourites for the Champions League. They had some good luck, we had some bad luck and they won.
“This year the prime candidate to win the Champions League is Barcelona.
“You just have to watch their games, not simply look at them. It’s simple. They’re the number one candidate, we’re among the top four favourites. But we need to be calm.
“We’ll get through the group stage, but I’ll talk to you about the Champions League but now we’ll think about Cagliari.
“I’m not superstitious, I’m realistic and objective. And in my opinion Barcelona are number one favourites.”
Paul Pogba will return to Turin with Manchester United on Wednesday, and Allegri was asked if he’d be useful for the current Juve side.
“Talking about him and anyone who plays for another team is pointless. What do you want me to say?
“He’s a great player who still has room for improvement, he has a career ahead of him and he needs to reach full maturity.
“He’s a Manchester United player now and unfortunately we have to face him on Tuesday. It would be better if he didn’t come, but we have to face him as we did over there.
“Will he get a standing ovation? The fans should give standing ovations to our players, not others.”
Cristiano Ronaldo has taken almost all of the free-kicks this season, and not very well, does the Coach feel able to tell him to step aside?
“From a distance it’s easier for Ronaldo to shoot, from close range [Paulo] Dybala and [Miralem] Pjanic are more dangerous.
“When we’re shooting from the left, Ronaldo has a more dangerous strike than the other two.
“He wants to take them all, but he’s a smart lad and he knows Dybala and Pjanic hit them well, so we’ve divided them this way.”

I don't get these criticisms about creativity this season. In most of our games, we've created chance after chance from a variety of situations. Our problem has been being complacent (especially in defense) after taking the lead and wasteful finishing. Also, no need to remind anyone that this is one of Juve's best ever starts to a season in terms of results.

For the season, in the offensive stats, Juve are first in Serie A in: (per game statistics)
1. Goals
2. Shots from inside the six yard box
3. Shots inside penalty area
4. Shots from open play
5. Shots from set pieces
6. Shots on target
7. Shots on goal
8. Key passes
9. Short key passes
10. Accurate long balls
11. Accurate short passes
Some stats where Juve aren't first
1. Total passes
2. Long key passes
3. Shots from counter attacks.
