More details emerge about Massimiliano Allegri’s outburst after Juventus‘ defeat to Inter on Wednesday with Gazzetta claiming the Italian tactician called the Nerazzurri a ‘dead squad’ urging Francesco Calvo to clear the air.
Gazzetta reported on Thursday that Allegri had insulted Inter directors Beppe Marotta and Dario Baccin in the tunnel of the Stadio Meazza on Wednesday night and told them they would ‘finish sixth anyway.’
The pink paper and Calciomercato.com add more details on Friday saying that the Italian tactician also called Inter a ‘dead squad’ ironically asking his players how it was possible to lose against such a poor team.
According to Gazzetta, Inter directors did nothing to cause Allegri’s anger and did not react to his outburst. The club football officer Francesco Calvo reportedly called Inter directors the day after the game to ‘clear the air’ and ‘return in the perimeter of a good education.’
Allegri looks increasingly frustrated lately and his vent against Inter followed a similar incident in the previous match with Napoli when he sarcastically congratulated the Partenopei for finally winning one Scudetto.
Perhaps if he was less condescending to Inter and gave them a bit more credit his layers may have been better motivated for the contest. Imagine what Max tells his squad in private?
No wonder his players didn’t raise the level as in their minds they were playing a bunch of no hopers who required little effort.
They should have been told about how good Inter are in Cup competitions, etc but instead belittled.
