You just know he missed Sami big time, as he couldn't shit on him if he doesn't play. No word about the guy that cost us the game with a red card though.
I can't remember if he admitted it, but he got exposed big time there
He kinda did against United as well, but they were just not good enough to capitalize on it
The funny thing is, when Bayern came behind they started playing direct like under Jupp, but until then they played the shitty Guardiola style.
Pep pretty much abandoned this style himself these days, but his game is still heavily dependent on possesion and there for his teams gets exposed heavily when it doesn't work
You guys should definitely stick with Allegri for now, he has done brilliant with you. Some might say it's not so sexy looking at at times, and that might be right, but he is getting the results, no one can deny that
When it comes to Pep, he is an exciting coach when it comes to taking offensive players to new levels, but your defense will suffer from it as they will be so dependent on a high line and the possesion based football

The result we want to get is winning the CL. That result he never got, and the question is if he has what it takes to make a world class squad peak. We dont know right now. There has been positive and negative signs so far.
What we do know is that he is a good stable coach, atleast ensuring great results in Serie A, and good results in CL.

I read somewhere that Max started learning English intensely because he wants to go to Manchester United. 
Then again, who wouldnt want to go to United and Europa League, after all even Cristiano Ronaldo said to Milan that he doesnt care they are not in Champions League as he fancies Europa League the same way and would be delighted to win it alongside Borini, Montolivo and co, but then fucking Rubentus came with their actual non-monopoly money and ruined everything...
Allegri: ‘Education can stop racism’ | Football Italia
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri declares “we must not chatter, but do” if Italy is to combat the problem of racism in stadiums.
The issue has been leading the news agenda since Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly was racially abused by a section of Inter fans, and the Bianconeri boss was asked for his toughts.
“I think there are preventative measures to be taken for everything, and for the umpteenth time we have the chance to steer things,” Allegri said in his Press conference ahead of the Sampdoria match.
“To do so, however, we must not chatter, but do. That’s the only way, but I’m a Coach, there are bodies which must decide and we hope this will be the right time to take preventative measures.
“Quite simply we must not stop. It’s not down to us, or even the referee, to stop the game, but the public order bodies.
“That said, I absolutely will not tolerate racism or any insult against the dead or tragedies that have happened.
“Unfortunately something is lacking in Italy, we’ve lost a bit of education and respect. It’s not just football, to really have a new start we need to impress these things upon people when they’re young children.
“We need to go into schools, sport is educational and we’d do well to get involved in schools because out of 100 people 70 or 80 will be on the right path, but this is something all of us need to do together.
“It’s easy to talk now, say things, only for everyone to forget about it the day after tomorrow.
“There are bodies responsible, then we as Presidents, Coaches and players must know that our words carry weight and can influence adults and people who are less adult.
“We must be more responsible and have a shred of intelligence not to feed what’s already there, because in Italy we no longer accept defeats or victories. So we need to do that, otherwise it’s useless.
“I’m sorry, because on the 26th the stadiums had so many people: families, children, the future of Italy.
“Those of a certain age have chosen how to live their lives, but the children are the future and if we don’t educate them nothing will change.
“Stopping matches only has a temporary impact, we need to be preventative. Inside the stadiums there are cameras who can catch these people.
“It’s simple: you see them, you catch them, and they’re not allowed in the stadium anymore. We can’t solve this problem though, it’s down to the relevant bodies.
“If they want to solve these things they can do it, if not then it’s nothing but hypocrisy and I’ll shut up.”
Allegri was then asked whether he agrees with stadiums being closed for these actions, with Inter given a two game ban.
“These aren’t my decisions, if they’ve made this decision it’ll be the right one. It solves the problem momentarily, but we need to stop this problem further upstream.
“The issue isn’t solved by closing the stadium for two months - after two months, what then? Preventative measures must be taken.
“There are people of value who can do it, so surely they will do it and then we’ll all be happy.
“I like Italian football, it’s beautiful and it’s difficult. I think we certainly have to do something, but not something extraordinary, something simple.
“It has to involve the children, so let’s go and talk to them. We need to spend some of our time with the children in the schools, to do a programme of education, respect and life. There has to be education.
“Then don’t complain when we arrive in the bus and there are parents hurling insults at everyone with their children alongside them. Then what do you think the child will do?
“I want to make myself available to pass on a little education to my seven-year-old son, but also others.
“Then I go to the stadium, I see a beautiful game like in Bergamo where there was a wonderful crowd, or at San Siro where there were 65,000 fans, but it’s not nice when there are these unpleasant situations.
“It takes patience though, everything won’t be resolved in a day. We need to start somewhere though, because if not there will be another incident in two months.”

Allegri: ‘Happy at Juventus’ | Football Italia
Massimiliano Allegri dismisses reports linking him with the Manchester United job - “I’m very happy at Juventus”.
Today the Times reported that the Bianconeri boss is interested in the job, and has been taking English lessons in preparation for a move to the Premier League.
“I’m very happy at Juventus,” Allegri assured in his Press conference today.
“We’re doing great things, along with the club, and we continue like this. Not least because we’re only in December and there are a lot of matches between now and June.”
Allegri then discussed his team for tomorrow, starting with Medhi Benatia and Blaise Matuidi.
“Both are definitely in contention, Matuidi had a cold so I left him at home for the trip to Bergamo and Benatia had a slight inflammation.
“Everyone is available tomorrow, and that includes [Federico] Bernardeschi. We have a difficult game tomorrow, Sampdoria are in great form and are even fighting for the Champions League.
“Tomorrow [Daniele] Rugani will play, [Leonardo] Bonucci will rest. The doubt is between Alex Sandro and [Leonardo] Spinazzola, but I’m happy with what Spinazzola is doing.
“Chiellini is fine, I sent him to bed and tucked him in.
“We need to get three points tomorrow though so we can close the year well, take a bit step forward and go into our holiday with serenity.
“We’ll need to drag out the last of our energy before the winter break, and we’ll need the stadium to push the team too. Tomorrow we’ll need the fans more than ever, though always in the right way.
“[Paulo] Dybala is fine, as is [Mario] Mandzukic and [Cristiano] Ronaldo is back. I have important options on the bench, tomorrow will be a long day and if we don’t unlock things in the first part of the game it will be another match.
“Let’s see how things go tomorrow, we have the chance to finish on 50 points and that’s not bad.
“At the moment, taking out tomorrow’s match because I don’t know how it’ll end, the team has 16 wins and two draws - that’s not nothing. And we finished first in our Champions League group.
“So if I hear about a Juve in crisis then maybe the panettone went off. If you’re joking then maybe I can accept it…
“There’s pride and satisfaction with what we’ve done, I’m happy with how we’re working but that’s not enough for what we want to go on and win.
“So we need to keep our heads down, not talk, and win which is the most important thing.
“Tomorrow we have to win to get to 53 points, which would be a great thing. Not for the record [100 points in a calendar year] but because it would take us closer to an eighth Scudetto.
“Just that.”
