Juventus' Decision on Max Allegri
00:00:14
Speaker
So, Juventus have decided not to sack Max Allegri. They're going to wait until the World Cup break before making a decision. What do you make of that?
Reasons for Keeping Allegri
00:00:24
Speaker
Well, I think it's mainly two reasons. The first is financial. He owns nine million euros net a season and Juva aren't in a position where they can just make a decision that hastily about those sums. And the second one, I think, is it also tells me that they feel, Juva feel that it's not broken beyond repair in the sense that Allegri hasn't entirely lost the dressing room in a way that it can't be repaired.
00:00:49
Speaker
And that because if you once a dressing room and a coach have a relationship that's deteriorated to the point where you can't repair that, the coach has to leave always.
Team Dynamics and Allegri's Influence
00:01:00
Speaker
I disagree on the dressing room. I mean, people I've been speaking to, he's definitely lost some of the dressing room. I mean, Di Maria for certain. And also if you look at the comments that have been made from Delict and from Zacharia, the last few days, I mean, Zacharia has just come out and absolutely hammered the style of play that Allegri played. And we've also seen no one come out and support Allegri from the current squad during these last few days. Not a single person. So I think that is quite telling as
Discussion on Top Players in Serie A
00:01:30
Speaker
well.
00:01:30
Speaker
Who have been your best signers of the season so far, Nemer? I think the best player so far in the Serie A, regardless of new signing or not, has been Svića Kvalatelja. I think he's been playing at a level that no one in the Serie A comes close. And then I have Kim Min-J and then the Lazio duo Provedel and Romagnoli.
00:01:47
Speaker
Yeah, I would say Di Bala has been fantastic for Roma. I would say Juventus, despite all their struggles, I think Milik has been really good. Bremen has been pretty good as well. Bouladea from Salah in Itana has been a real fantastic signing. He's got three goals, two assists. He's brilliant against Juventus. And I'd also probably add Vlasic from Torino and Radonnjic from Torino as well. They've both been really, really good.
