New coach of Juventus Turin, Massimiliano Allegri was at a press conference this late Tuesday afternoon and spoke about the coming season. He unveiled the main lines of the new Turin project, starting with the future of Cristiano Ronaldo who will stay at the club next season.
The Bianconeri coach is proud to announce that he will be able to count on CR7 in a few weeks from the resumption of the championship on August 22 against Udinese. “He is a great champion, extraordinary and intelligent. Yesterday he came back, we talked, as I did with everyone. I told him it was an important year and that I was happy to see him again. He has a greater responsibility than three years ago, when there was a very experienced team. Today, in addition to putting his qualities on the field, I also expect things from him in terms of responsibilities. “
He continued his conference by also evoking the Giorgio Chiellini file who should quickly sign a contract extension, he who is now free: “He has been playing with us for 20 years. It seemed ridiculous to me to interrupt his vacation to sign him. Chiellini is absolutely not a problem. With Bonucci, they must be an added value for the club and be an example for the younger, to make people understand what Juventus is and what they represent. Here what has been done remains in history, I had five wonderful years, and now we are starting a new cycle of work. J I started again with a lot of emotion and pleasure, like when I started to coach. I am with a group of young players full of qualities, who join the first team. It’s a new cycle here, let’s think about The future. There are many young people. They will be an added value and the future of the club. Then there are the more experienced ones, like Chiellini, Bonucci and Ronaldo. They are examples for the young people. We are starting a new one. cycle and we must achieve the goals, “ warns coach Bianconero, who has signed for 4 years.
Now or never for Paulo Dybala!
The Italian coach even took stock of the situation of one of his stars in the person of Paulo Dybala and is counting more than ever on his Argentinian international. “Paulo has some good numbers that are on his side, although last year was not a good year. He came to Juve in my second year and now he’s 28. never for him to assert himself here especially since he has the potential. Now he must realize that it is an important year and that he has presented himself in the best possible way. Paulo scores goals and it is very important in football, I rely on him a lot and he knows it. He and Ronaldo are snipers and they show it in training. “
Like Dybala, Allegri also places his trust in his midfielders and in particular Adrien Rabiot. Rabiot is an important player but as a midfielder he has to do a lot more than the 3 goals last year. He needs to score more in his position and I expect a lot from him too. ” He shares the same opinion with his American international Weston McKennie. Like Rabiot, McKennie must score more and even follow Ronaldo’s example, especially in training. “In the middle is the one who has the instinct of the goal, he is cold and good of the head. It is obvious that he is a player who has qualities for the high level. There are a lot of players who have the potential to score like Chiesa, Morata, Kulusevski, as well as Dybala and CR7 of course. ” Max Allegri concluded.
Kulusevski, Cuadrado as important?
The Transalpine also breathed a little word on his two players Dejan Kulusevski and Juan Cuadrado. “Kulusevski! Give me some time, because I’ve seen him in two training sessions. He definitely needs to grow up and he can definitely improve on that.” Allegri is also counting on the potential of Juan Cuadrado. “We will have to find a balance and play football to get results. We have players who have been playing for a year and a half non-stop, we will barely have squad members who can play seven games in a row. We still have a fortnight to get started and find the right balance, in my opinion this team really has great potential and today it’s up to me to take up the challenge. ” Ends former AC Milan coach.
