Often I watch us play (especially the last 2 seasons) and throughout the match be on my nerves and observe everything thats going wrong on the field from narrowly missed chances that the opposition has against us to the terrible passing game and mistakes we make throughout the game, and it all brings me down. Then BAM! a miracle occurs and we somehow get the result.
If I switch on a random Juve match, I think man we suck its a miracle that we got the result. This is a weak team that got lucky on the night. But then I recall another game when the same thing happened then another and another. I then see a pattern that this isnt a one off thing we somehow manage to play poorly and yet win on a consistent basis under Allegri, he is either the luckiest coach alive or he figured out a method that no one else understands that somehow creates miracles consistently.
2 seasons in a row now we have been doing this. Its waaaay more likely that Allegri has a method that I dont understand than that we have divine intervention on our side. I look at the big picture and the consistent delivery of results and I say man this Juve is so strong. If I told you there is a team in one of the big leagues in Europe that has won the double 3 times in a row and reached 2 champions league finals and asked you to pretend that you know nothing else about this team and you have never seen them play, what would you imagine their day to day performances to be like? You'd imagine that they control most games and win them comfortably with a few goals scored. They must have a strong midfield with a great passing game and a lethal strike force.
But then I zoom in on any individual match and I see a team that struggles to keep the ball even when it tries to. A team that makes many mispasses and has no clear attacking strategy. A team with slow midfielders and an old defense and out of form strikers . A team thats ravaged with injuries throughout that has to really grind results almost all the time. In short, almost a complete opposite of what you'd imagine a team with our results looks like.
I can't figure it out. How the fuck do we get these results. From outside, the results speak of a footballing masterclass but once you zoom in, its the opposite of that. I really don't know how he does it and for that I have full respect to Allegri. I have never seen a coach that made me feel so stupid about football.
Its as if the highest performing employee in your company (and its a hugely successful company) is a depressed man who hates his job and hates his life and doesnt embody company values at all. You see his stats and you think man that guy must be a super star let me talk to him to draw some lessons for others and then you talk to him and all you see are things that should be negative and you are left scratching your head thinking "how the fuck does he get these stats". Allegri is either super lucky or I dont really understand football's intricacies. His track record suggests its the latter.

I think experience plays a part, especially in serie A but that's not everything I'm somewhat stumped myself.
