En artikel från 20:e mars med Allegri (relativt kass översättning), dvs före gli Azzurris Play Off:
Allegri: Italy ‘shouldn’t imitate other countries’
“We have those characteristics; they’re part of the history of the Italian people, dating back to the Middle Ages and the defence of the forts. Now everyone’s talking.
“The speed of passing is certainly different and depends on the players. Why are games faster in Europe? First of all, because you either win or lose. The English league is completely different, not better or worse. When they say that in Italy the game stagnates and there’s less space, let’s look at the positive: it’s harder to score goals,” Allegri continued.
“We were born and raised like this, and we’ve evolved. We shouldn’t go imitating other countries with different cultures. The history varies from club to club. We need to fix the youth sectors and find different formulas.
“These numbers should be brought out. We need to worry because so many kids who play football stop playing early and switch to tennis. To get to the Sinners, there’s a lot of work behind it. You have to be careful. Those who understand the youth sector just need to make some reforms.”

Och efter veckans matcher i CL så håller många andra med om att italienska lag har glömt hur man försvarar sig. Man har blivit så ivrig att vara modernt offensiv, att man helt förkastat sin fotbollshistoria med fantastiskt försvar.
T ex Benitez:
"I reflected on something Allegri said, which I believe Capello has said as well, and I agree," Benitez noted. "Italy have lost the ability to defend, one of the hallmarks of a footballing culture that was dominant for a long time. They also have top-class players at the back: Donnarumma is perhaps the best goalkeeper in the world, Calafiori is an Arsenal starter, Bastoni is a cornerstone at Inter, and Dimarco is a wing-back who can hurt opponents when he pushes forward."

Men oavsett så finns det inget försvar för att Napoli förlorar mot Venezia. Inte alls omöjligt att Allegri måste lämna, för det är inte acceptabelt att dagens Napoli har tio poäng efter sju matcher.
OBS att jag verkligen gillar hur Allegri tänker Calcio, men det verkar allt svårare att få med sig spelarna. De tänker på sin statistik och prestation, före lagets framgång. Det är en naturlig följd av att vara beroende av legoknektar.
