So sad to read it, but this is totally true
Fast build up play, high defense, direct football.... lmao
We don't press except for some single players, who do it occasionally. Too many times i remember last year ronaldo pressing, while everyone else just didn't join - makes no sense. And it's not that our players are not physical enough, they're just lazy fucks. Even Rangnick said something about pressing, either you do it or you don't. Commit!
We can't counterattack. Only Chiesa is good at this. Everyone else is like...
But these are all things that can be fixed by a good coach. Even within a few weeks. I don't get that "let allegri rebuild, just give him some years", hell no!

My best articulation of what it is that its pragmatism. At its core is slow tempo build up from the middle and a defense that's typically somewhat deep, and he flexes that by going deeper against opposition that are good with possession and employ a high press, and moved them up a little against opposition that are not as good at possession or at pressing.
I think that flexibility and being able to play a little bit of both is what he aims for. There is no one style, its the ability to flex between a defensive and slightly offensive style but for that to work you need a very strong defensive base and someone upfront that can create out of nothing. We have neither those things in this squad ofc. Dybala isnt producing the magic anymore and Morata is heavily reliant on service. Only Chiesa and Cuadrado occasionally do these penetrating runs that cause chaos. At Milan he had Ibra doing the creative work upfront backed up by a strong defensive base.
Recall that even with Pirlo, Marchiso, Vidal and Pogba he didn't play to dominate possession except against smaller teams that sat back against us.
