Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri believes foreign teams “are not yet at our level” tactically, but play with more freedom.
The Panchina d’Or for the best tactician of last season will be awarded today, and ahead of that the FIGC is hosting a symposium for some of Italy’s best Coaches.
Fabio Capello, Antonio Conte and Carlo Ancelotti were in attendance, as was the Juve boss.
“In the Champions League many teams have improved tactically but they are not yet at our level,” Allegri said.

“In the Champions League many teams have improved tactically but they are not yet at our level,” Allegri said.
“They leave a lot of space between the lines of midfield and defence and we need to exploit those.
“The biggest disadvantage when playing foreign sides in the Champions League is that they all move for 90 minutes.
“In the youth teams we need to let children play with freedom, and then teach them tactical concepts afterward.”
