Good things: Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri
Livorno, the hometown of Massimiliano Allegri, in 1921, the Italian Communist Party was founded, is still regarded as left stronghold in Tuscany. About the coach of Juventus on the other hand is blasphemed, he’ll be a little stiff and utterly non-revolutionary, therefore, a bit like a business administration – at least Allegri is mocked in Italy as “aziendalista”. So again and again is likely to be in his life in the wrong place, therefore, be no unfamiliar feeling for this coach who is with Juventus in the Champions League final.
This is of course not for the final this Saturday in Berlin (20.45 clock / live on ZDF, with Sky and in the Champions League Scores on FAZ.NET). That Allegri has next league and cup achieved in his first year as Juventus coach also this final against FC Barcelona, is greatest satisfaction for the 47-year-old Tuscan. Because when Juventus presented its new coach on July 16 of last year, as the recently still intact Turin football world was in ruins.
Allegri’s predecessor Antonio Conte, who led three times in succession the maltreated by demotion and subsequent mediocrity Italian champions to win the Scudetto and already was as a player, the idol of the Tifosi, jumped in the preseason from overnight. This was due to disagreements over player transfers and a lack of international perspective.
Offended had Conte prophesied Italian team would not win the Champions League from structural inferiority for years. “We were received with kicks and throws eggs,” said sporting director Giuseppe Marotta recalls the day of the performance Allegri. After charismatic Conte fans had nothing to dry Accountant type left, who also came from the rival AC Milan and had come with Conte several verbal duels remote.
prompt was the start, to say the least, bumpy. “The season went messy lot,” says defender Leonardo Bonucci. “In the team, there was doubt,” confirms Captain Gianluigi Buffon. It is not so that the adverse initial position had cold left the Tuscan accountant. “My biggest concern was that the heart of the Tifosi not be reached,” the coach said a few months ago. But of course, even those who Allegri then desolate and cursed his debut accompanied with the worst curses, now taken much for the coach.
Given the potential triple profits, there is also the view of the fans nothing you could be accused of Allegri. Except, perhaps, not to be called Antonio Conte. Allegri took over an apparently leached from energy wear his predecessor team and first turned to the pillars: And he said, supposedly much with Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Giorgio Chiellini. Playmaker Pirlo had become dispensable for Allegri as coach of AC Milan, but flourished just after his move to Turin again. Allegri settled at Juventus convince new on the quality of today 36-year-old Pirlo.

Instead of completely revamp the team, put the coach just a few screws new one. So he kept the first defensive oriented 3-5-2 model Contes in, slowly led Allegri also his preferred 4-3-1-2 system and now has two game modes, between which his team during a game with can change instinctive certainty. However, the injury-related failure in the final Chiellinis reduces the options of the trainer sensitive. Strict procedures required Allegri from his players only in the defense phase, during the attack, he relies on coordinated spontaneity. This flexibility of the coach meant that Juventus plays at times like an unpredictable chain dog is finally released after years of a leash.

“Allegri has Juve improved tactically,” analyzes coaching legend Marcello Lippi. Even at Cagliari Calcio and AC Milan Allegri convinced a master of coaching that detects errors and selects the correct countermeasure. Supposedly Allegri, of no great career as a player did, but at least with Carlos Dunga occupied the midfield with Pescara Calcio in the early nineties, have had as a player this talent. Acciuga, Ölsardine, they called him at that time because of its spindly.
His recipe against Barcelona sounds simple: “We have to do two or three things right.” These probably include aggressiveness, compactness between the parts of the team and the benefits of their own chances. “My team has character and knows much about our own strengths,” said Allegri. Eight times he met as coach of AC Milan on the Catalans, a single win was Milan here. This is a bad yield, but also means that the bureaucratic Ölsardine somewhere inside them knows how to defeat Barcelona.
