The championship seen by the coach who was the Master of Allegri: “In Italy it is difficult to repeat himself but Napoli will try. I see Conte favorite team together with Inter. Of new ideas I see few and the construction from the bottom is very boring: they always return back to passing the ball to the goalkeeper but for the goalkeeper he must think about parry”
Giovanni Galeone, one who taught football in half of Italy. Lover of football show, of technically strong players, the master of Max Allegri who in his Pescara of the 80-90s was the director and then became a great coach. Let’s start with Allegri, the Serie A championship starts again and Allegri returns to the Milan bench where he has already conquered a championship. He is the big news of this season.
Galeone, Allegri starts from Milan, what season will be?
“Max seems to have left well, in my opinion Milan had a technically strong team already last year, now they sold Theo and Reijnders, but last year they made a non -good championship, too many ups and downs because they did not find continuity. I hope Max is successful”.
Meanwhile, leads the center forward playing
“It is an idea, it has more space. It can be interesting to make it play there. But it has good midfielders and can play in many ways. Last year someone like Loftus-Check for example has done little, but he is a player who potentially worth ten goals per season. It can be decisive as Rabiot was for Allegri’s Juve”
Of new ideas in football are few …
“Lately he depopulated the game with the construction from the bottom, at the beginning I did not stand it because the action always returned back and passed the ball to the goalkeeper. Now he has to play the goalkeeper with the feet, but come on…. The goalkeeper must parry. But I, as Gianni Mura said, I don’t understand much of goalkeepers .. (laugh). Donnarumma? It is not a talent, he is a goalkeeper but is not Buffon or Zenga. In the close shots you never make goals and in the back from afar it is not much.
Juve and Inter start again from Chivu and Tudor. Is it a risk?
“As they were structured, as they were structured 15 years ago I don’t see. Juve was the only one to be able to win so many badges in a row. I don’t see an absolute favorite, Napoli will try but I don’t think it will succeed. I like it, last year in Parma he managed to save the team by modifying the game. After Fabregas it is what I liked the most. Tudor is a tough, he wants to do well, he has a good. team.
Gasperini in Rome
“Beautiful story, Rome has three fantastic people: Gasp, Ranieri and Massara. They are experts and many decisive, but in Rome, ask Capello, you must have many points of advantage. It is hard. It is not easy to win, Rome is a dispersed city that does not help to win”.
Fabregas courted by Bayer Leverkusen and Inter, but remained in Como.
“His mentality is to play well, I have a soft spot for him. When Max trained Milan I told him to take Fabregas, I liked it a lot, as a coach he is behaving very well.”
Juric at Atalanta, a risk?
“In Bergamo they are very good. A fantastic company and a large youth sector. When you have such a strong and structured company, it helps the coach so much, certainly in recent years Atalanta has also benefited from Gasperini’s great work and a youth sector that when he was led by Favini he churned out many talents who arrived in the first team”
Gattuso Technical Commissioner of Italy, will he make the blues to the World Cup?
“I spoke to Rino, I made her debut in Serie B and then in Serie A. I wished him to fish well, because he has no great talents and he has to arrange himself with what he is there. Before we had fantastic players, now not. Italy has no precise identity, he hopes for the meeting”.
Let’s close with Lamine Yamal, would you have liked to train it?
“Damn, it’s a phenomenon and makes you entertain. I would have liked to train people like De Bruyne and Dembele, but the problem is that now in Italy we can bring the great players only when I am at the end of the career”.
