After last season, when Juventus finished fourth in the Serie A table, coach Andrea Pirlo had to pack up for one year. Because after nine championship titles in a row, it was a significant decline. But now Juve is eighteen in the table and the way up will not be easy.
The proven leader Massimiliano Allegri returned to the bench, celebrating five titles in a row with Bianconeri. But even his nerves are already flowing from the situation.
“K * rva. You’re playing for Juventus! “, The frustrated coach’s cameras caught him shouting after Sunday’s 1: 1 draw with AC Milan.

He was partially angry not only with the players, but also with himself, because he was not satisfied with the performances of the players he sent to the final phase of the match, ie the trio of Dejan Kulusevski, Moise Kean and Federico Chiesa.
“He was going to the court in a difficult moment of the match, I wanted him to hold the ball in the middle of the opponent. But he still has to grow up and realize what he can do. Because we’re here in Juventus, “Allegri said after the match at 23-year-old Federico Chiesa.
“I must admit that I made a mistake with the rotations. I misjudged it. When we led, I had to put more defensive players there, who would lock the lead 1-0 under lock and key. I take responsibility for this, “the coach poured ashes on his head.
“But players need to realize that their ego has to be set aside. He must play as a stopper, even if he is an attacker, otherwise there will be no results. Now we have to realize that we have dropped two points. I’m angry. In the end, I was happy when the referee whistled for the end, because we risked that we would not have a point from the match, “added Allegri.

His team now has only two points to his credit and is losing a full ten points to the leader and so far 100% Naples.
At least the Turin Grand Club managed to enter the Champions League when it defeated Malmö 3-0 in Sweden.
Even before entering the Champions League, the club’s vice-president Pavel Nedvěd calmed the incipient nervousness. “The Champions League is a great stimulus for us. It is said about us that we have a very young team, which is true. But we have all the prerequisites for success. I’m sure of that, “Nedvěd reported into the microphones of Sky TV.
Whether his self-confidence will turn into the team’s performance and results remains to be seen. Juventus now needs to work mainly in the league. Duels with teams from the middle of the Spezia and Sampdoria table await him this week, and the battle with Chelsea in the Champions League at the end of September.
