Exemption Allegri, earthquake of Juventus in the night: it’s the showdown

Exemption Allegri, earthquake of Juventus in the night: it is the showdown. The bianconeri left the Champions League with another defeat

The 4-3 suffered against Benfica at Da Luz in Lisbon is yet another debacle for a team that has failed to take off this season. On the quay, there is always the Tuscan technician.

The feat in the Champions League was hopeless to say the least. Juventus came to Lisbon with the idea of ​​playing everything to stay in the most important competition at European level. A victory would have allowed the bianconeri to move everything until the last day, perhaps hoping for a draw between Maccabi Haifa and Benfica. Instead, the Lusitanians extinguished all sorts of ambitions in less than 50′, with an extraordinary Rafa Silva (who scored twice) and with young talents that never allowed Vlahovic and his teammates to be really dangerous. The final comeback from 4-1 to 4-3 rekindled a modicum of enthusiasm in the final 10, but beyond Gatti’s header there was no light. Allegri was aware on the eve that the most credible objective was to qualify for the Europa League and to do that now it is enough to do the same result as Maccabi in the last game against PSG. If the Israelis don’t beat Benfica, a draw with the Parisians would be enough.

Leaving the Champions League will cost Allegri dearly. The decision for the Livorno manager’s future has already been made but only the timing remains to be understood. In all likelihood, next year he will no longer be the coach of the “Old Lady”, in a revolution that will also see the dismissal of several managers. The problem, however, is understanding what will happen after the World Cup break in Qatar. Inside Juventus, there is a current of thought that would like to take advantage of the long break to be able to make the replacement on the bench. On the launch pad is Paolo Montero, who is doing quite well with the second team. A passer, who knows the environment perfectly and who could manage such a situation with his personality. The objective would be to snatch a fourth place, replay the Champions League and earn the money needed to adjust the budget. Then, in June, the foundations of the real revolution will be laid. The dream remains Zizou Zidane.
