Allegri: 'Juventus were warned'
By Football Italia staff


Max Allegri said Juventus ignored the “warning signs” in previous games and were punished by Lazio, but explained his Paulo Dybala decisions.

The Bianconeri hadn’t lost a Serie A home fixture since August 2015, while they were unbeaten here in 57 competitive matches (winning 50 and drawing seven), but Lazio emerged 2-1 thanks to a Ciro Immobile brace.

“We had the warning signs against Torino, Sassuolo and Atalanta. We have these drops in concentration and pay a heavy price for them,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

“Between Bergamo and today we have dropped five points and haven’t realised yet that to win the Scudetto you must fight every single day. It’s a hard slog. Some were a little tired, others carrying knocks, but these are not excuses, as we dropped five points.

“Now we’ve got an important game on Wednesday against Sporting in the Champions League and we have to win.

“We ran into a very well-organised Lazio side that is dangerous on the counter. I was just disappointed we lost the ball too easily. We were too soft in the tackle, otherwise Lazio never really got into our half in the first period.

“Those are the moments that decide a match. If you drop a point here and a point there, in the end you’re not going to win the Scudetto.

“Douglas Costa did some things well, other things not so well, but it was better than the other times.”

Dybala was surprisingly on the bench along with Alex Sandro, but when he did come on, La Joya hit the post and saw a last-gasp penalty saved by Thomas Strakosha.

“When Dybala returned on Thursday night, he was not feeling great and only had one training session. Bentancur returned on Friday and didn’t train at all. Some players arrived late from international duty in South America, and with injuries too, that’s just how it panned out.

“I tell Paulo to relax and not get worried, as these moments happen in a career. He needs to rediscover the determination to get back on track immediately.

“As I’ve always said, I am in favour of VAR, but I’d prefer there to be fewer interruptions to the flow of the game.”

Napoli visit Roma this evening and with a victory the leaders would go five points clear of Juventus.

“It’s a pity we dropped points, but maybe it’s better it happened now.”

IMO what Max fucked hard cuz it was a tabu game for us after super copa and between international break and an important UCL

Played Bentancur, Barza, Asa and a 4-3-3 it was a bad idea, then the subs were weird, why not to put Pipa out for Berna, Barza for Rugany and Paulo earlier... but we have to admit Pipa was all over the place and missed a classic final and Paulo have to live the same scene after a 15-days-break-only-thinking-about-that atalanta missed and repeated it again

Everybody who want's Max sacked better prepares for the mediocre ass coach that will follow after him.
Don't want him sacked (obviously, that would be stulid af), but there's a very real possibility of him leaving after this season imo.

Hope we can Simone afterwards. He could bring SMS & De Vrij as well once we're at it.

He's done a very good job with this Lazio side :agree:

It is but not cause he will be sacked. He wants to go to England and has the reputation to make it happen
Who knows. Lot's of variables. Nedved said today Conte left because he thought he couldn't do anymore with the team. Max said this summer he almost left after the CL loss for thinking the same thing. The signs are there...regardless of why, it could very well be his last season.

I think this is Max's last season here too. Sorta reached his limit perhaps. Ancelotti anyone? S.Inzaghi would be interesting.
Ya Beppe too. Too much money in his pocket now with all the cuts he's made from various shady deals. Time for Paratici to take over !
