Massimiliano Allegri reportedly had a harsh confrontation with Juventus players after a 2-1 loss against Hellas Verona and the coach is particularly disappointed by six of them.

Juventus suffered back-to-back defeats against Sassuolo and Verona and sit 9th in the Serie A table with just 15 points, 16 off leaders Napoli and Milan.

The team has been sent into training retreat until Saturday, when the Bianconeri will face Fiorentina.

Juventus host Zenit and Fiorentina at the Allianz Stadium this week.

According to Tuttosport, Allegri had a harsh confrontation with his players after the Bentegodi clash on Saturday.

The coach believes that the team has an athletic problem and wants to spend more time with his players to help them regain their best fitness and boost their self-confidence.

However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he is pretty disappointed by six of his players: Adrien Rabiot, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Alvaro Morata, Moise Kean and Arthur, even if the latter has just returned to action after an injury.

In general, Allegri believes that strikers and midfielders should have done much more and it is a fact that forwards haven’t been prolific so far this season. Morata has only scored three goals, just one more than Kean.

Allegri is also not happy with the former Everton striker’s attitude and the same goes for Kulusevski, who hardly starts for the Bianconeri.

Rabiot and Bentancur have been underperforming in the middle of the park, while Arthur’s only game as a starter was the one against Hellas Verona, but a wrong pass from the former Barcelona man led to Verona’s goal.

23 thought on “Furious Allegri disappointed by six Juventus players”
  1. I will forever thank Agnelli for letting Marotta walk away to Inter.

    His successors were not capable of building a winning team, just pouncing on “free” transfers with over-inflated salaries and agent commissions.

  2. It’s not the players that are to blame, it’s your outdated style of play and tactical approach that’s the problem

  3. How Juventus under estimated the great importance of Marotta to the team. The problem at Juve is a serious one that goes beyond the coach. Bring back Marotta immediately!!!

  4. The problem is specifically from Allegri his tactics are too negative. You can’t come and asked top players to be defending for 70-80 minutes in a game for a team like Juventus especially against smaller teams in the league. And when they fall behind you expect them to perform miracle.

  5. @Dennis: Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is likely to have his new contract with Inter signed and announced before Christmas comes around. As has been reported by Libero, an agreement has already been found between Beppe Marotta and Steven Zhang for his contract extension, and it is merely a matter of weeks before the announcement is made to the fans.

    Suning have been seriously impressed by Beppe Marotta for the way he steadied the club over the summer, raised a lot of money in sales, and managed to replace Antonio Conte at very short notice with a coach who plays the same style.

    Rumored to sign until 2025 and Marotta already stated that he will not join another club in his career.

  6. Despite controlling the entire system; the sports media, the Italian football institutions, the referees, and even the very willing Football Italia by proxy, Robentus are still the worst bad losers ever in Football history. Robentus think everything is due to them just because they are Robentus.
    Allegri’s arrogance says it all; he never humbly puts himself into question like the great coaches who have enough humility and honesty to recognise their errors. Allegri’s extreme arrogance is that of spoiled brat who got too much used to being unfairly helped by referees, calendar and the entire system in general, in fact Robentus always gets at least a minimum of 30 undue points every season by the notoriously corrupt Italian referees.
    The least this spoiled brat can do, is have the decency to avoid blaming others for his failings.

  7. There are multiple problems at Juve, both from the players, the club, and the coach.

    The players aren’t as good as the crop from 3 – 10 years ago, the club have let the squad rot with freebies and overpriced “stars”. Modern attitudes don’t help either, with they more interested in their hair and Twitter than playing football.

    The midfield has deteriorated the most, and other positions have fallen too.

    As for Allegri, he’s too scared for his own good. And he probably isn’t the best coach for youngsters either.

  8. Allegri should look at himself as well. Maybe the part of the problem is that some players are not meant to be played like he wants? People like to label him a genius, but he doesn’t seem to evolve.

  9. ha ha ha, you can see the panic on Allegri’s face everytime he is marauding down the touch line. That is a look of panic unlike Conte, Pep and Klopp who are showing who is boss.

    Marotta is a genius. After Suning pulled the rug under him and sold off Lukaku and Hakimi and Conte left, he still found very good replacements and made a profit.

    As for those defending Allegri and keep talking about the team, look Conte had a worse team in 2011 and who did he beat the one and only Allegri who had a stellar Milan squad.

    Max should go back to hibernating in the mountains and talk sleep football with the goats and the sheep.

  10. And yet he seems to never hesitate to start Rabiot as a LM for a whole half in that awkward 442.

  11. Adrien Rabiot, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Alvaro Morata and include Ramsey and Rugani, they have to go ! but I don’t understand one thing……what Juve did in 3 games in Champions League in 3 games took Conte’s Inter 2 years! Juve beat Chelsea …Inter’s hasn’t beat a POT A team in Champions League in over a decade ! and being in Pot A doesn’t mean anything if you average 0.6 Champions League wins in the last decade !

    I hear the bookies have an over/under bet on what will take inter longer – winning the scudetto or passing the champions League Group Stage…..the over/under starts at 11 years…..any bets on the under 😉

  12. @Farmers of Piemonte Calcio: You forgot the Ghost Goal. Rube being Rube. But what you said about Marotta (and what others have said as well) is correct. An old saying says “a fish rots from the head”. Get rid of Agnelli and Juventus will begin the healing process (as a Milan fan I hope he stays for a long time).

  13. I don’t think Conte would have them top of the table only due to the fact that the other teams are better now. A little pragmatism is needed. Firstly Conte would never take over a team that does not spend spend spend. Secondly all the top coaches like Tuchel and Pep also have money reserves. True they are better as even Tuchel has coached abroad and seen the game move into a more fast pace style.

    No doubt though Conte is a much better coach for league matches and to fire up the team. He inherited a mess in 2011 and regardless of the ghost goal, Allegri had the much better players and still came up short.

    Agnelli has been great but the hype, ego and obsession of a super league has made him lose the plot. From the stupid J badge change which means nothing, to getting rid of Don Beppe Inter are the real winners despite having a rocky financial situation as well.

    Paratici another disciple of Agnelli is now messing up Spuds and made weird transfer moves in north London.

  14. The problem surely in allegri (don’t call back your winning coach in the first era)
    and agnelli (for his clueless to find suitable person for handling this team)

  15. Juventus need coach needs system.
    You guys can you tell me when was Juventus player came to the first team
    You remember chellini He was last one came from youth sector
    What’s goes around com s around
    Karma
    Allegri is never coach. I don’t know what is wrong anjeli

  16. Fair enough Nate. Conte coached boring football only good for Serie A vitcories, but they sure were disciplined. I also think Buffon at the end was still better then Scenzy is now. The rest of the league has caught up a bit but no one has the lineup that Juventus does. Maybe Pirlo deserved one more year….Couldn’t be any worse then this. FYI I’m not a Juventus fan I’m just confused by this current mess.

  17. All these pseudo – experts of football, whom I classify as serial EEJITS, who comments here about JUVE’s ills and travails, remind me of what the great Umberto Eco said about the INVASION OF IDIOTS ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA. GET LOST goons, find another hobby and leave JUVENTUS well alone. We can go TEN years without winning anything ( which will not happen) and still be the best ITALIAN team in history, you goons. We have had NINE long years of great success leaving just CRUMBS for the others, who have only just raised their miserable CREST. GET LOST eejits.

  18. The greatest Italian club in the four walls of Italy have never conquered Europe at least since the stone ages.

    Relax Andrew and go take your medicine. Maybe ask Dr. Max for the sleeping pills, the one that puts him and his squad to sleep.

    Rabiot and Bentancur are not even waking up anymore. Alarm not working
