Allegri doubling down on what he knows best, playing ugly defensive football. 2nd half has been terrible.
A fitting way to end the season. Just shows how terrible we were all season. Things will need to change from top to bottom.
I think a fair result. It was just a ceremonial game for us and I think Allegri done the right thing giving the youngsters a chance. Thought we were professional throughout but to be honest these last two games are about giving players that don’t play often a chance and to experiment a bit. Berna was our best player tonight. Wouldn’t be surprised if pinsoglio played in goal for the last game
Watching the Chiellini sendoff at the Juventus Stadium and its pretty incredible. They are also whistling President Andrea Angelli! Paulo Dybala is also being celebrated and he is crying like a baby! I can't believe he will be playing for Inter.
You can make an argument not to resign Dybala, but personally I think it is a mistake. He truly loves the club and the fans love him. He still does things no one else in our squad can do, and I don't see anyone we are on supposedly rumored to be bringing in doing them either. If Pogba does come back, the team would be a lot better with Dybala back also. C'est la vie. Arrivabene is making a big bet here and it could well blow up in his face. Wouldn't be the first time given his track record at Ferrari. The backline needs serious help. Big Giorgio is still our best CB and he is gone and rightfully so. he can't play a full season anymore, but MdL still has a ways to go to catch up to him. There are so many holes and we keep creating more I don't see this side being reconstructed for another couple of years - IF they make the right decisions. Ever since the CR7 split broke up our management team we have continually made poor personnel decisions. This new group made 2 good ones in January, but they are definitely on the clock now. SMS would look great in bianconero. Make it happen.
It’s obvious Dybala don’t want to leave. He will accept a lower wage. We will miss his creativity, goals, and his ability to take control of games and make the difference.I hope the club have the cash to replace him. It will take at least 60 million and a more hefty wage bill than Dybala was willing to accept
I know Juve didn't really need to win and I realize the amount of time he played was symbolic and represented the number of seasons he played at the club but I think for what he did at the club, Giorgio Chiellini deserved more than just 17 minutes in his final game.
While I understand the reasons for letting Dybala go, the highlighted section above is what concerns me. Who are you going to get that can do what he does on the cheap?
I understand the 17 minutes represented the 17 years and was a symbolic gesture but I still think Giorgio Chiellini, for what he has meant to the club, deserved more for his final home game. Baresi played the entire match against Cagliari and Paolo Maldini came out at the end of the match against Roma at home. Carlo Ancelotti even switched him from center to left back (his first role) in the last 30 minutes to pay tribute.
I'm not sure Chiellini wanted to even play that much, with him mulling a move to MLS perhaps he asked to only play a little to not risk injury.
It's funny, because now he is willing to accept a lower wage? What about the previous 2 years when the club was negotiating? He is getting a grim realization that he isn't worth what he thought he was and the club called his bluff. I say this as someone who was emotional seeing him go and wouldn't mind him staying because he really cares about the club. He just wanted to be paid what he thought he deserved (I certainly don't fault him for that), but what you think you deserve isn't always the reality. Especially for a player who needs a 2 forward system and can't really play in a 4-3-3 like most teams play. I hope he doesn't go to Inter, but it would be a great fit for him. Berardi would be a cheaper option and still provide what Dybala gives. I don't necessarily want Berardi, but he produces similar numbers to Dybi but doesn't require a certain style of play like Dybala.
If that were the case though, he wouldn't be playing for Italy against Argentina. I mean not unless he only plays another 10 minutes.
Allegri is the luckiest coach. Other team’s bad performances made him look better than he is by his results. Finished 4th and 1st place in CL group because Zenit beat Chelsea last game (same as it happened to him in 2019 after ManUtd lost last matchday) Literally summed up our season
Yes I understood and acknowledged that. Still he should have come off in the 17th minute of the second half. Guess it doesn’t matter now though.
