because the coach of Juventus-Corriere.it is right

There are clichés whose tenacity to survive is directly proportional to their falsehood. Needless to make a list, let’s take one for all: Napoleon who stole the Mona Lisa from us. Not true, that painting was brought to France by Leonardo himself in 1516, and the only thing not established whether he sold it or directly gave it to Francis I – but in any case the painting stands where its author wanted it to be. There was a theft in 1911, but it was carried out by an Italian, Vincenzo Peruggia, who, dazzled like many by the vulgate of Napoleonic spoliation, removed it from the Louvre and brought it to Luino with the intention of returning it to Italy.

These are the facts, ascertained in every venue for a very long time, yet, at the first emergence of Italian-French controversies on the most disparate topics, someone always appears (sometimes even some ministers) who throws it into a racket by inviting the French, before speaking , to give us back the Mona Lisa. I said that there are many examples, and today one of the last is being proposed again – by chronology and, thank youalso by importance: Massimiliano Allegri defensive coach. More: Massimiliano Allegri that when his teams take the lead sounds the retreat and orders to defend that narrow advantage to the bitter end. a statement widely denied by the numbers, as well as, for those with a decent memory, by the multitude of services offered by the two teams he has coached in the last fifteen years, Milan and Juventus, which also comes back to the surface again and again like a broken shoe in the pond.

it also happened after Juventus-Nantes, and on that occasion Allegri, usually so detached and sly, rose up – developing a controversy with poor Stefano De Grandis who, somewhat superficially, but without scrupulousness, had referred to this defect of his . Now I don’t think Allegri needs my defence, but I would like to mention here the other reasons for his impatientness, those which he cannot say, and which also exonerate him from the malicious observation, also false, according to which if one if he takes it out on something like this, it means that he has a straw tail and that thing is real.

No: Allegri was nervous the other night – and he said this – because Juventus hadn’t won the game; and because his players – he also said this – in the second half made the ball roll instead of making it circulate quickly; but also because his most talented player, Angel Di Maria, who in the end got all the praise possible, alternated some very valuable plays with a wrong attitude, that I do everything which often led him to waste numerical superiority and counterattacks very promising looking for useless personal numbers — and this he could not say; nor could he insist on the penalty denied in added time for a very clear handball, because he notes his habit of never arguing with the referees; and he couldn’t even say one other thing that has most likely made him nervous for quite some time, namely the total absence of the voice of society in the martyrology that accompanies Juventus on and off the playing fields this year, because that of the other evening is not the last in a series of murderous episodes to which the company should respond with a public, stentorian opposition – perhaps through the mouth and face of someone among its new top managers – and instead it doesn’t does.

That’s why, instead of holding back, the other evening Allegri snapped at the mild-mannered De Grandis as if he were any Adani. Let’s be clear: he was right to blurt out, just as he was right to keep silent about the other reasons that fueled his outburst, which are more important but shouldn’t be discussed in public – and he had it regardless of the seriousness of the journalist who repeated the antiphon. He could only do that, and he did it, even if it’s a losing battle, because his teams always score a lot of goals, just as the French have never stolen the Mona Lisa, but people will always like to say otherwise.
