yeh, this was disheartening and really fuked up my morning, because if Chiellini says this, is because this is the identity the whole team has.
It really makes me bored about things to come.
i'm really disappointed in Allegri.
I for once would like to see a open minded coach.
Someone able to bring out true potential from our team.
Someone who will finally dare to play with three strikers. Like we did under Lippi.
I can understand being conservative in Serie A as defence>attack in Italy.
But not in champions league where to win you have to attack and not just defend.
I think already did his best and next summer Juventus management should look for another coach possibly someone who is not so "italian".
Ill not call for his head because is way WAYY too early for that. But yes, if he goes, i would love someone like Carletto, who is very different from the Carletto that coached us and now is a top european coach who knows what needs to be done to win the thing.
I want someone to really make us play like a CL contender who dominates. We are not Atletico MAdrid, we are a team who has a lot of attacking power. We need to play like one.
Now we should replace Allegri because of a 0-0 draw with Sevilla, who didn't have a single chance on goal the entire game...
He made some poor tactical selections, sure. But Khedira, Dybala, Higuain, or Sandro convert one of the half-dozen excellent chances we had and no one says a thing. 9 times out of 10, that match is a 1-0 or 2-0 win. Sevilla was very organized and excellent at the back, but we had some very good chances nevertheless.
Allegri is a fantastic coach. People need to stfu with this nonsense about never performing in CL. We just played in a CL final 16 months ago. If that's not performing I'm really unsure as to what is.
Bolded parts:
Listen, theres no secret we have a superb defence. Thats not the problem. The problem is not that Sevilla didnt scored. The problem is that we were afraid of destroying in our home game against a winnable team. The problem is that Allegri set up the team cowardly in a game we should have gone all guns blazing and send a strong message of power to the rest fo the world. Instead, he got contefied and went out to prevent sevilla from winning instead of making our guys dominate and win. When he saw he shitted badly, it was alteady too late. Way too late.
He knew he made a mistake and even the he hesitated to correct it for who knows what reason. Thats the problem.
And about your CL final comment. I really liked how allegri set up the team every game from the Olympiacos game to the very final. He was inventive and eager....but after our bad start last season...he ditched all the good things he did after the oly game and returned to the conte formula of not losing.
yeah , it was called for in that moment because we didnt had the players to perform in a 4312 until Marchisio came back.... but now we have more qualified personnel and a hel of an attack, including to interesting wingers like cuadrado and Pjaca. But is still focusing on a defensive formation. Its weird as fuck and if you ask me..he really has regressed from what he did in that CL final run.
Look at how we approached the first bayern game last year. it was shameful. And then when we tried to mend for our mistake, it was too late.
What i want to our team to prevent those kind of scenarios...and this year, with the buy of Higuain, Pjanic and the rest, We have zero excuse not to go all in and at least try to achieve something worhty of Juventus and the budget we spend.
I hope this was an attention call for him and from now on he prepare better the games and use the attacking players we have to the max, even if it means switching formations and getting out of his comfort zone.
That bad start from last year seemed to really scare him for life.
