Allegri: “I have a contract and I’m staying at Juve 100%. But I can decide for myself, not for the others”

“I have a two-year contract and I’m staying 100% by my choice. Then I can decide on my side, not in place of the others.” If he was the general manager of the JuventusMerry it would confirm immediately. Indeed no, he would probably do it after the end of the season given that, although he has hardly ever been nominated, tomorrow there will be theEmpoli to test the ambitions of qualification in Champions. The position in the league, on the other hand, has always been highlighted by the Juventus coach, despite “this year, between one game and another, there have always been situations in which we haven’t been very lucky in the decisions”. The bottom line is that the coach will never resign and if Juventus decide to change coaching, the 43 million gross of the remaining two years of the contract are the price to pay: “I’m not in the minds of others, I don’t know if there are different evaluations. I can only say what my choice is, for the rest we will see. At the moment we are concentrated on the championship and on the season finale. Next year we will see if Juve participate in the cups or not and the management will make its evaluations We have to keep working for what we’ve been asked to do: finish in the top 4 for the Champions League.”

Allegri, stored in Szczesny

One way to reach the Champions League, but also to return to winning internationally, would have been to win theEuropa League. The knockout with Sevilla came after a match played, second Szczesny, with too submissive attitude. In practice, what is contested by a part of the fans, enclosed by the hat/hashtag #allegriout: “After the match you should keep quiet, I’m already struggling – the coach replied piqued -. In the heat you can say inaccurate things, the sensations They can be different on the pitch. In Seville, the team did everything in the best possible way.” Except then giving the benefit of the doubt shortly after, focusing on the Polish goalkeeper’s lack of command of the Italian language: “Szczesny doesn’t know the exact words, he doesn’t know Italian well and maybe he got the terms wrong. At Juve, a coach plays according to characteristics of the team. We could have done better, we could have done worse: we reached the semi-final of the Europa League, the semi-final of the Coppa Italia after two good matches”.

The investiture by Elkann

Only a few months ago, the chairman of Exor, John Elkann, had indicated Allegri as a point of reference for the company. Today the coach’s position seems in the balance: “I feel confidence because, sorry for the Europa League and Coppa Italia finals, but we are second in the standings. Above us there is only Naples, net of everything. If we include the gross, the standings could have been better”. Italy), what was required at the beginning of the season. That is, qualifying for the Champions League, even if there are two points missing from having mathematical certainty, and keeping the dressing room steady despite the turbulence of the season. The term “gross” used by Allegri in evaluating the season it includes everything: penalties, refunds, Milik’s goal against Salernitana, the trial.

Penalty and the future

Monday will not only be the day of Empoli-Juventus, given that in the afternoon the Federal Prosecutor’s Office will pronounce itself on the capital gains trend and on the related penalisation. Difficult to understand if the verdict could be a stimulus or if it will psychologically destroy Juve, in addition to the defeat in Seville: “At the moment I haven’t thought about it, the only thing I have thought is that we have to go to Empoli and return to victory for remove Sevilla’s waste. We have 3 difficult games, mathematically we need 3 points (2 in reality, ed) to be in the first 4 and that’s what we have to do. We’re used to everything, we have to be concentrated and want second place. be strong, we have been strong all year and we must be strong in these last 15 days. The whole group must work to achieve the goal.” To understand Allegri’s thought, we need to analyze the terms, the words, the division between the sporting aspect, the field, and the corporate one. In this moment of change, the serenity is only external: “I spoke to the club, I expressed my thoughts as I always do at the end of the season. I talk to Calvo and Scanavino every day. At this moment, talking about the future makes no sense, we have to leave Juventus in the top 4 for the Champions League, which is very important for an Italian team. We can’t decide what happens outside, we can only wait for the others to decide.” Both for the standings and for Allegri’s future, increasingly in the balance but armored by a two-year contract.
