Which Juve will be Massimiliano Allegri's? Since yesterday morning, Juventus fans have not asked for anything else and it doesn't matter that the new coach has already held his first press conference. “The game system will be Conte's, there's no point in changing it – he explained yesterday. – I will bring just a few variants to improve where it is possible to do so". Truth or an attempt to calm the increasingly agitated Juventus waters? The question is legitimate because the Conte tsunami has already upset most of the black and white strategies. The Iturbe case is emblematic, for days in the process of moving to Turin and instead ended up in Rome right after Antonio's resignation.
"Everything has changed and the evaluations to be made are different" admitted Marotta in the press conference, suggesting that the market will also be affected by the turnaround on the bench. More than Iturbe, however, the Juventus people are worried about Vidal and Pirlo. "The future is decided by the players and he, up to now, has always said he wants to stay" glossed over the general manager about the Chilean, but the case remains, and how if it remains. The temptation Manchester United is strong and the 45/50 million put on the plate by Van Gaal weigh. Multiple indiscretions tell that this was the straw that broke Conte's vase, which is why Vidal's future remains far from defined. Yet Allegri would not deprive himself of it lightly: in his years at Milan a key man was Boateng, in some ways comparable to the Chilean.
The former Rossoneri coach said he didn't want to change the game system but it's clear that, in the long run, we'll go towards a 4-3-1-2. It is no coincidence that the Lady has renounced Iturbe (not very suitable in a form that does not include wings) but not Morata, whose negotiation continues as if nothing had happened. Four strikers (Tevez, Llorente, Morata and Giovinco) for two shirts, an “atypical” attacking midfielder (Vidal?), along the lines of Boateng (but also Cossu at Cagliari), a three-man midfield with two midfielders (Pogba and Marchisio) and a director. And here comes the fun part, because the never banal god of football has decided to have some fun by putting Allegri and Pirlo back together. “We have an excellent relationship with Andrea, finding him again is fortunate – the coach glossed over. – I never discussed the qualities of him, I would have been crazy ”.
Yeah, yet the past tells something else. It is true that the decision not to renew his contract was more a matter between Galliani and the player, but it is also true that he did not impose himself at all, on the contrary he openly explained that, in front of the defence, he would have preferred a different player (Van Bommel ). But now things have changed and Massimiliano has every intention of entrusting the keys to the midfield to the genius from Brescia. However, it remains to be understood what the aforementioned thinks, someone who has never spent kind words for his ex (or current, you name it) coach. Radio Mercato tells of a Prandelli ready to go crazy in order to take him to Galatasaray, but today it seems impossible that Agnelli and Marotta can do without him. You would risk the revolt of a furious fan base over Allegri's choice, as demonstrated by the protests that took place in Vinovo and on the web. But the "Count Max" does not want to be intimidated, on the contrary...
Despite the facade declarations, he has every intention of molding Juventus in his image and likeness. In fact, since yesterday we have been talking about Abate and Astori, two players who have already trained in the past that he would like to have with him again, as well as Romulo, considered perfect given his tactical flexibility. Names that do not inflame the fans at all, ready to make all their disappointment felt for what has happened in the last few hours. The games however, as the best croupiers would say, are done and there's no going back.
