With Ronaldo gone, in Allegris conference he said chiesa is a striker and Mckennie is an attacking mid. Should I be worried?
He said Chiesa is an attacker and McKennie is an offensive mid.
Coaches (especially Allegri) don't think of positions in traditional terms like we fans do. He always talks about characteristics, not specific positions. That's why he called Dybala 'box to box' player, because he thought he can do it all, like KDB does, all over the pitch. He has characteristics to make impact on any part of the pitch.
Chiesa is an attacker, his main strength is being able to get forward at speed and finish chances with goals or assists. He's as concrete as they come, no dancing around. He gets the ball and goes at defenders immediately.
Vidal for him was also an offensive mid because he could get forward and score goals. Doesn't mean McKennie cannot contribute defensively, but his main strength is his athleticism and scoring goals coming in late in the box.
