And I've seen that cluelessness from Allegri even before the 2017 cl final, he's only a cattenaccio coach...
Anyway that goal yesterday reminded me of that ADP-Trez goal, too bad this time there's no glory whatsoever.
I wouldn't describe him as a cattenaccio coach. In my mind that's a deep defensive line with well rehearsed rigid counter attacks.
Allegris style strikes me as fluid with a loose structure lots of freedom for players to utilize their decision making to make opportunities and improvise combinations.
It works well with tactically versatile experienced players. That's why it worked at Milan and with our former squad when khedira, marchisio Teves and the likes. We saw the first significant drop in quality when pjanic and matuidi became the main players in midfield rather than pirlo marchisio and Vidal.
Our players now are missing a default setup to fall back on and improvise from. The way out is not talented youngsters imo, it's actually having the likes of modric taking charge of the midfield and build up. I am assuming he'll never coach to a rigid system ofc

Non-sense, the league with Conte, Mourinho, Pep, Klopp, Wenger, Pocchetino in it can't be not powerful
They hadn't hit their stride yet. You could see the seeds of Pep and Klopps systems taking hold but it wasn't manifesting with consistent results yet.
Contes system is simpler and requires less technical players than Peps and less fitness than Klopp. So you'll see him getting a lift in results faster. We saw that at Juve Inter and chelsea and are seeing it take hold in Spurs too.
But at full force their systems are superior to his. Opposition teams struggle more against their systems than his because they're more creative and less predictable.
What he achieved at Chelsea is impressive but is also a by product of their teams not being quite at full force yet.
My bet is that even with an open budget he wouldn't win leagues against a full force City or Liverpool
