We slowed down for some weeks now. We played Genoa, Frosinone, Napoli and now Bologna at very slow tempo, with no pressing and enough running.
I think this was calculated after all the energy we lost trying to climb up the table. If we continued that way, Allegri would have burned our players by late March and that's why I think this slowing down was calculated.
This being said, Lichtsteiner is done as a fullback. Perhaps he can become a CB, the way Thuram did when he was Licht's age, but as a fullback he's almost useless for a year or so.
