Re: Massimiliano Allegri appreciation thread

[rincon]

Juve fans must feel silly now looking back at the way they reacted to his appointment.

Conte had left, how else could we react?

Allegri is on his way to enter Juve history, who would have guessed that 4-5 years ago.

[Blue Barrett]

He's about to win a treble. That's an astonishing feat. Think it has only been done by 6 clubs in history or so.

[juve_gigi]

Another masterclass by EuroMax. The treble is near. The goal is to win it all.

A treble for Allegri means history will be made, the first ever treble for Juventus. He will go down as the greatest coach in Juventus history.

Looking forward to how this all plays out. If you are a Juventino then what a time it is to be alive!!!

[rincon]

People talking about a trebble when we haven't even won a trophy yet.

Roma failing to win last week was huge so Serie A is looking good, but the Coppa and the CL are still knockouts where top teams can knockout anyone out.

Even with no trebble Allegri will be (more slowly) writing his name in our history. If he extends, as it seems, he will have coached us for longer than most and with great success. I don't expect him to reach Lippi and Trapattoni but he will probably be right behind them in longevity.

[dronte]

So yeah, we really shouldn't get carried away. Regardless of our beautiful performances this was one of the weakest Barcelona in years. Masterclass by Allegri, but there are some really tough fixtures ahead. I'm not even sure who I want to get in the semis. I really feel like we should avoid Atletico though

[Hapless_Hans]

AC Milan sacking Allegri LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Doc]

Reminds me of Emery being sacked by Valencia, went Sevilla and became hella successful. Mind you, both Emery and Allegri probably got fired for reasonable-ish reasons (considering it's Valencia and Milan, one can be skeptical). Still though, gotta hand it to Allegri, he really shat on his doubters.

[juve_gigi]

Allegri is the best coach in the world at this moment. I hope he wins it all for Juventus and gets an historic treble. Will become an Italian legend if he does really.

Tactical genius.

[Myesyats]

Worst performance in a CL final since a long time, thats some achievement

[farfan]

That Lemina sub.

[M99]

That Lemina sub.

Allegri running out of ideas, so he logs into GL and sees Devi's Lemina hype.

[Doc]

Best coach in the world

[Blue Barrett]

Outfoxed by Zidane ffs. That was terrible.

Losing 2 CL finals in 3 years 4-1 each.

Still a top manager though.

[Doc]

Well, it is 3-1 and 4-1 respectfully but that's 7-2 according to GL Maths so it really does look awful.

[McLewis]

Still a quality coach. He'll be back at this stage again, just not sure if it will be next year. He's young and usually adjusts when learning from his mistakes. Baffling how he made no changes when Real came out at Juve in that 2nd half though. He'll be fine.

[Helmer]

he was too late in the second half to react to Madrid's dominance !

really as a neutral I was waiting and waiting . I told my friends in the bar it is just a matter of time before Madrid score and that is what happened.

[Mr Nick09]

Allegri went from playing 4231 against Barca to his fear line up with 3 CBs against Madrid.

scrub tactics to play defense and not take goals, welp he took 4

[juve_gigi]

He should have played the 4-2-3-1 from the start.  That was the biggest problem.  3 Scudetti in a row, 3 Coppa Italia's in a row and 2 CL finals in 3 years.  Stop the he is a scrub BS.  If he's a srcub then what are the other 30 coaches out there other than Zizou who have won nothing?

The game was even in the first half.  Hats off to Madrid for playing a spectacular 2nd half and winning the game.  Yes he subbed in Lemina because he was our only option left on the bench.  We didn't have anyone else.  Hopefully next year Juve invest in 2-3 squad players than can rotate with the starters like Madrid can do.  That is the difference between the two teams right now.  You have Kommander and then much better options off the bench.  

It was your time the last couple years.  Enjoy it because it never lasts forever.  Just ask a Barca fan...

[Hapless_Hans]

Changing the game after 60 minutes, like he did in the 1st leg vs Bayern.

What a *bleep* boss

[Luca]

I feel vindicated

[farfan]

The yearly reminder that Juve fans almost rioted when he was hired.

It can never be forgotten. How wrong 99% of Juve fans were (including me).

[Tomwin Lannister]

MOTM amazing changes with a depleted bench

But can we stop starting games/ties giving too much respect to the opposition?
