Massimiliano Allegri notes that VAR may not have spotted Antonio Candreva potentially keeping Leonardo Bonucci onside: ‘Nobody has seen that video.’
Juventus picked up a 2-2 draw against Salernitana, but saw a late Arek Milik winner disallowed after a VAR check. It led to four red cards (Milik, Max Allegri, Juan Cuadrado for Juve and Federico Fazio for Salernitana) and over 10 minutes of added time.
Players of the two teams clashed on the sidelines during the VAR check. Allegri initially refused to comment on the incident but seemed very irritated.
“I want to go to eat because it’s late, I don’t want to know anything,” he told DAZN.
“Was it a very bad performance? No, you say so, you see games, but you don’t watch them. The opening 20 minutes were very good. Then we conceded this goal from a wrong interpretation of Cuadrado.
“I never talk to referees after games, a goal was disallowed and it’s a fact,” he continued.
“The only thing is that I’d like to watch the video again. Antonio Candreva is close to the corner and we haven’t seen that video, what if he keeps everyone onside? We don’t have that video, nobody has it, so I don’t know.
“However, referees must be left alone, the protagonists are the footballers. We have 10-15 good referees in Italy.”
Is this Juventus enough for Benfica on Wednesday?
“We’ll play and see, I am optimistic, games can get complicated, but the reaction in the second half was great,” said Allegri. “I can compliment the lads for the performance in the second half. The referee was good and took a crucial decision at the end of the game.
“We should have gone to the break down to one goal, but we conceded a penalty kick in the stoppages. We had several shots on targets in the opening 20 minutes and other favourable situations.
“The performance of the second half was good. At least we prepare for the Champions League game with a draw and not a defeat so the mood is different.
“We had never gone down until today and I wanted to see the reaction. It can happen to go down, but you can’t lose the order. It also happened in the previous games, we must make a further step forward, we must manage some situations well.”
Juventus had never conceded the opening goal in Serie A this season but went 2-0 down in their Champions League group stage debut against PSG this past Tuesday.
“There are some young players, you don’t get personality immediately. It takes time to become accustomed to winning,” continued Allegri.
“I am sorry we didn’t win, we are four points behind the leaders. I saw a reaction, now we must go to eat and prepare for the game against Benfica well.”
The only thing controversial is PhD Max being given a second stint with a 4 year contract and a dodgy haircut. The king of square back once again got himself into this unnecessary fiasco. Imagine if the 7/9 had Tuchel or someone who could read the 21st Century game.
Allegri is delusional. Let the man eat take his meds and go to sleep.
we are a disgrace under allegri, and he is protected to shame us all.
ah i knew he`d throw the young players under the bus. agnelli is dragging this club into the pits
