Di María’s gesture to Milik that worsens the Allegri case

The Juventus lives the umpteenth crisis of these months. defeat with the Benfica It was his worst start in modern Champions of its history, since it had never started a group stage with zero points in two days. The main accused of the crisis is the technician Max Allegri, who stated several times that he does not care about having a “nice” team and asked to be judged only on his results. At the moment, these do not help him: after having closed the first year without titles after a decade, the Italian has only won two games out of eight in this one.

Having fallen with the Portuguese greatly complicates his qualification for the round of 16 and the tifosi, on social networks, are asking for the coach’s dismissal. A phrase from the director Arrivabene to a fan (“Are you going to pay the other?”) confirmed that signing another coach would be very complicated for the club, which convinced Allegri to give up the proposal of the Real Madrid with a salary that exceeds seven million net. In these hours of controversy for the coach, a gesture from Ángel Di María to Arkadiusz Milik after yesterday’s final whistle went viral.

The Argentine, who returned after his August injury, asked the Pole “why?”, making the substitution gesture. Allegri took off the striker in the 70th minute, who is being the best Bianconero in recent games (he scored three goals in his first six appearances, and they took away another one that was legal). The Pole did not know what to answer and, before the journalists, he dribbled the question about his face to face with the extreme: “We talk, but these are things that stay between us.”

Apparently, the players are not clear about the coach’s plans either, who justified his decision at a press conference: “Di María is still not in shape, I had to reinforce the midfield and Arek seemed more tired than Vlahovic”. The Italian asked for “silence and work” to get out of the crisis. Meanwhile, in Italy they affirm that in the club “there is restlessness”, but that the position of the coach is not in danger. At least for now.
