Fabio Capello defends Allegri and frames Juventus’ weakness

During an interview given to the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello, among other topics, dwelt on the negative moment Juventus is experiencing, as evidenced by the only seven points collected in the last eight days of the championship. In addition, the former England coach tried to identify the key factors that have led to this reversal in the negative direction.

"The difference between Juventus, which used to hold its own against Inter, and this one, which has a relegation point average, is the goals taken. It is not è that the more strikers you field, the more goals you score. Allegri’s team until January won a lot and almost always by "short muzzle". There are few times when it has created and scored a lot. While in the last 8 days, apart from the 0-0 with Genoa in the last round, it has always conceded a lot of goals, often even two per game. These are the real problems: conceded goals and poor quality; not not playing with a trident in attack. Max cannot afford to deploy three forwards" began the former Milan coach.

"On the fact that Chiesa is moreù dangerous starting on the flank, there is no doubt. Federico lives by dribbling, speed, ripping and when he starts wide he has an advantage. In the center, on the other hand, he è more markable. In a hypothetical trident with Chiesa and Vlahovic, I think the only one who could play on the opposite side è Cambiaso, since Yildiz è a talent, but è in his early days and Kean è just returned from injury. If Allegri insists on 3-5-2 è because he thinks he has more balance and guarantees: no coach wants to hurt himself" added the former England coach.

"Inzaghi’s and Pioli’s teams create many more chances for the strikers than Juventus, becauseè Inter can count on a midfield of enormous quality; and Milan has one of the strongest left chains in the world, sinceè Theo and Leao can invent the play at any time. The player who makes the difference in the Bianconeri è Rabiot and it is not è a coincidence that this negative period coincides with some aches and pains and his absence due to injury" concluded Fabio Capello.
