Allegri: 'Just kick it into the stands!'
Massimiliano Allegri raged at his Juventus players for their “superficial” attitude in a 3-3 draw with Parma. “Beautiful football doesn’t pay off, at the end of the day just kick it into the stands.”
The Old Lady was 3-1 up and looking comfortable in Turin, but deep into stoppages Mario Mandzukic tried to play the ball at his own corner flag and it fell to Gervinho for the equaliser.
“We were too soft defensively and made several errors,” the Coach told DAZN.
“There were certain moves that were superficial and lacking in the necessary concentration. We need to be more focused, we can’t keep taking things for granted.
“We lowered our guard after going 3-1 up and then again on the final ball for the equaliser. You cannot play with that attitude at the 93rd minute with the ball at the corner flag. It was conceptually the wrong thing to try to keep that in play. Just kick it out.”
Allegri said after the 3-0 Coppa Italia defeat to Atalanta midweek that it had been “in the air,” but evidently the wake-up call was not heeded.
“We were lucky to get the win against Lazio, but we were punished by Parma. We need to do a lot of work on our concentration levels.
“On the first goal, there was a cross we should’ve pushed up on, but Cancelo didn’t follow the run. On the second goal, we moved too early and left a massive gap. It’s not possible to score three goals at home and concede three, it means we’re only playing to attack without thought for defence.”
Juventus did have a completely revamped defence, with Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli out of action.
Leonardo Spinazzola got his first Serie A start in a Bianconeri jersey, while Martin Caceres was thrown straight into central defence just days after his transfer from Lazio.
“It was the first time this back four had played together and we didn’t help the centre-backs, always leaving them in one-on-one situations. They need to realise there is no shame in hoofing the ball into the stands if needs be.
“At least we gave those who complained we weren’t entertaining enough something to enjoy.
[ @Nedved96 is he talking to you?] Beautiful football doesn’t pay off, at the end of the day you’ve got to just kick it away from your goal.”
Napoli beat Sampdoria 3-0 today, so the gap at the top of the table is reduced to nine points.
“That is still a healthy advantage and this setback will ultimately do us good.”

You know what this means? Back to boring classic max. 1-0 wins.

Who keeps complaining that our football isn't fun to watch and should be fired for it? @Post Ironic who is it?

I like that he moved the fullbacks up the field to provide width, especially considering the attacking potential of both Cancelo and Spina. However that requires an extra holding midfielder next to Pjanic, otherwise the central defense is to exposed. Matuidi is chasing players down on left wing and Khedira played the entire game as an extra CF.
I really wish he would try out the 3-4-3 when Bonbon and Chiellini is back. This squad is made for that system. Use the attacking potential of our fullbacks to provide with, and let our CM concentrate on defending and distributing the ball. Let the 3 forwards change positions and find space between the lines.

Max is definitely not to be blamed - Our defense should have been much better and it was the players that didnt step up defensively!
Despite the goals we conceded we did attack and hence we scored 3 goals now our team need to learn from previous mistakes and combine control with grit and concentration.

Our current midfield should still be sufficient to control every game (in Italy)
Europe - Yeah our mid is a joke compared to the other top clubs

every single player is underperforming, he still can't figure out where to play dybala, a player who would walk into any team's starting eleven. our performance since the start of the season is insufferable, despite getting cristiano fucking ronaldo. should have been sacked right before the last season's scudetto celebrations.

I wasn't worried before, but after those words i have bad feelings for this season. It was such an entertaining football that me and my father have put another tv next to watch who wants to be a millionaire reruns

If you don't mind losing out on the Scudetto. I'd take him, but i doubt he's gonna take us to the "next level".
Not an excuse, but similar to Pep at Barca, Zidane had an almost unbeatable squad available at Madrid. The real world test is still waiting.
