Massimiliano Allegri (247 Viewers)

[Hist]

Before the game I knew Juve would lose or draw. I will comment on the game but everyone will think that I'm trolling.

This is what is called a tactical defeat. Of course a win would be nice. But after already leading the league with 14 points and playing against the worst team in the league Allegri had the chance to both rest most of the squad AND sending a message to Monaco and giving them hope, hence a tactical defeat.

Allegri: 'Juve did nothing right'
By Football Italia staff

Max Allegri said Juventus “did nothing and deserved the defeat” against bottom of the table Parma.

The runaway leaders lost only their second Serie A game of the season, 1-0 at the Stadio Tardini.
“I lost my voice almost straight away. We didn’t do anything in the second half and deserved the defeat,” he rasped on Sky Sport Italia.
Were Juve distracted by Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final with Monaco?
“Monaco are another matter. Today we underestimated an important match and didn’t realise it could allow us to secure the Scudetto.
“Now we’ve got head-to-head clashes coming up and this was a perfect opportunity to seal the deal.
“Changes to the line-up are not an excuse. We kept a low tempo and I don’t think we won a single challenge out there. That says it all.
“I hope this can give us a positive shake-up, but we shouldn’t need that. It was the chance to stay 14 points clear of Roma and Lazio, but we weren’t up to it today.
“Parma played well, while we were slow and risked conceding on three or four counter-attacks. We didn’t control the game at all, as even in the first half Parma were dangerous.
“This was the match we had to play with maturity. Even if we couldn’t win it, then we certainly shouldn’t have lost.”


Fair views

yup

Barzagli compared Conte and Allegri today. Tevez didn't want to compare the coaches, but had a word about both of them. Their conclusion is that Conte was a motivator who gave the team a strong mentality, desperately needed at a time when Juve didn't have the best team in Italy. On the other hand, Allegri is very tactical, improved the tactical side of Juve's game and brought calmness, which results with the team we are today - relaxed and able to adjust to every kind of opposition.

which is quite a shocker, considering Conte was hyped as one of the best tacticians out there haha

Not really. He was always praised for his motivational skills more than anything. Pirlo in particular used to praise Conte in that regard.

The boy has only played under Zeman and Blanc. He probably still doesn't understand what tactics mean

Allegri has selection headaches
By Football Italia staff

Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri admits he’s not sure if Andrea Pirlo and Andrea Barzagli can play tomorrow.

The Bianconeri are taking on Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League Quarter Final, and both players are recovering from muscular injuries.

“Pirlo and Barzagli are in good condition,” Allegri began when asked about the players in his pre-match Press conference.

“They’ve recovered fully, as have [Carlos] Tevez and [Gianluigi] Buffon.

“Andrea is 40 or 45 days without a game, while Barzagli has been out for the last four days with a muscle strain, so I’ll have to decided whether to play both of them, one of them, or neither of them.

“I can’t decide until tomorrow morning, I’ll decide what to do in the last training session.

“If Barzagli plays, we’ll play three [at the back]. If Pirlo plays it’ll be four [in midfield]. Since they’re both called Andrea I might not play both!

“As I said before, it’ll be difficult for both of them to play together.

“As for the possibility of [Paul] Pogba playing the return match, there’s virtually no chance.

“Fortunately I have players in midfield who can replace him, ok they don’t have the same characteristics but they can play in midfield just as well.

“Arturo Vidal? He’s going through a good period, because he’s found top condition after a long journey.

“When he came back from the World Cup, he was not in good condition, his knee hurt, it was difficult to stretch, all the things that I’ve been saying all year.

“Now he’s in good shape and it shows on the pitch. I’m very happy and I think he can only improve between now and the end of the season.”

Some pundits have suggested that, with two stingy defences, tomorrow night’s game could be boring, but Allegri does not share that assessment.

“Boring? No. Well, I hope so, if by boring you mean we don’t concede any goals…

“Not conceding a goal at home is very important, that’s what I said in the previous round. Some have accused me of playing for 0-0, but I just want to go through.

“We know that we can’t face Monaco in the same way we dealt with Borussia Dortmund, they’re two different teams and therefore must be approached in a different way.

“It’s more complicated, because when you play against a team which doesn’t concede many goals the games are always more complicated.

“It means you maybe get the urge to throw more players forward, then you leave space which we mustn’t do.

“Borussia had entirely different characteristics, they were a team which was stronger in attack than in defence and the numbers prove it, while Monaco are the opposite.

“When you play these games you have to have patience and humility to face a side which is defensively very strong, so we have to play a smart game from every point of view.

“I don’t know if the game will be boring. Football is unpredictable, because there could be a goal after two minutes and then the game becomes spectacular.

“We just have to focus on our goal, which is the Semi-Finals.”

time to prove your worth EuroMax! Beat monaco and be the only coach to take us to the semis since 2003!

 

[edgardavids2608]

Why do I like him more and more? Hes is tactically a really good coach. I liked Conte but he was very system oriented and perfecting a way of playing. That worked well in the league but I have always like the abilty to adjust more come champions league time. I think the Italians best strength is tactical ability and being able to see the goal at hand which is 4 quarters of football over 180 minutes.

Well played.
