Juventus, forward or not with Allegri? The future of the bench remains an enigma

Beyond the rite statements coming from the double binary company-coach, contrasting visions and rather objective signals emerge.

The politicise, you know, can sometimes mean everything and nothing. And it's also normal for this to be the case. That said, Juventus is experiencing one of the most difficult moments in its history, between the field and the offside. And in Empoli, after yet another fool, Max Allegri also collapsed.

Precisely the one who in the most difficult moments tends not to be discouraged. Precisely the one - bis - who has made his managerial belief of balance. However, the year nearing the end of the line was one of the most expensive for the entire black and white globe, and it is undeniable that the technician worked hard – sometimes sadly left to his fate – with the intent to isolate the group.

But the Juventus legend does not admit replicas. And, when results are scarce, even the ordeal linked to the customs and traditions of an impactful penalty can fall into the background. Yes, it is true that without the very fresh -10 the Old Lady would turn out to be the second force of the championship, but it is equally incontrovertible that – since Allegri returned under the Mole – the loot recites “zeru tituli”.

A team never in the race to win the championship, deeply disappointing in the Champions League, with the very recent regret from the name Europa League. In short, net of the vicissitudes, the plate cries. Structural gaps in power, okay, but also never a well-defined identity. Just think of the over 100 different formations proposed by Allegri, an unequivocal sign of a (s)team never found. Never, never, never.

Dark pesto with regard to current events, without underestimating the unknowns to be associated with the future. Here Juventus is called to definitely change their skin, starting with the sports area. It is no mystery that the property has identified in Cristiano Giuntoli the right reinforcement, an insertion probably fundamental to make the qualitative leap, especially considering the 16-month inhibition inflicted on Federico Cherubini in the context of the capital gains case.

So what is missing for the marriage to go through? First of all, let the 51-year-old ds champion of Italy free himself from Napoli. And then, another detail not to be underestimated, that within Juventus itself there is clarity in the round. Put simply, a common vision, that embraces the various souls.

Password: enthusiasm. Juve, struggling with the serious risk of finding themselves out of European competitions and with the salary line all to be deciphered, must inevitably start again from its people. Reconquering the people, developing a new project.

The question of the questions: with or without Allegri? So far – in terms of official statements – Juventus has always squared around its coach, explicitly referring to an “unconditional confidence”. The same one that can show off the CFO Francesco Calvo, esteemed and respected by the Exor environment.

So? Allegri, for his part, it was clear: going away from Juve now would be cowards. And, just in all, the coach does not intend to take a step back at all. But then – inevitably – the assessments of society must rise to power.

Which must take into account the 2.0, the discontents (which are not lacking, on the contrary) within the squad, the pros and cons. What if the desire to change prevails? The watchword would become another: freshness.
