Allegri desperate as McKennie misses a sitter

Massimiliano Allegri was definitely not impressed by Weston McKennie, who wasted a huge goal opportunity in the first half of Juventus-Napoli.

The Bianconeri are 1-0 down at the break but could have taken the lead in the opening minutes of their home clash against Napoli.

USMNT international Weston McKennie had a chance to put his side ahead with a free header on the corner from six yards but sent it wide. The former Schalke 04 man was almost as desperate as his coach Massimiliano Allegri who could not believe the ball didn’t go in.

“How did he miss that?” the Italian tactician asked his staff members, according to DAZN.

Juventus fans booed their players after the half time whistle. Only five points divided the Old Lady and the Partenopei before the match with Max Allegri’s man chasing a top four spot.

Juventus return to the pitch on Sunday against Roma while Napoli will meet Sampdoria at the Stadio Maradona.
