The Daily Mail had some important words for the Juventus coach, currently second in the league, trailing the table-topping Inter by two points.
The news of Juventus being second in the standings, just two points behind the league-leading Inter, has made headlines even in England. In an in-depth analysis of the Italian league, the Daily Mail draws a comparison between Allegri and…Napoleon. But why? According to the report, “despite losing Pogba and Fagioli, Allegri’s tactical genius has the team in second place in the league, winning almost every game and defying all odds. (Napoleon is known to have won almost every battle against the odds)
What does the Daily Mail say exactly about Allegri?
The English tabloid, in its online edition, adds: “Allegri is an emperor who loves to smile and taunt his opponents and, in true Napoleonic spirit, he rises above the criticisms directed at him in press conferences.” The article discusses his approach to football, victories with a one-goal margin, such as the recent one against Napoli: “Allegri is almost always right; his football ideology is very old-fashioned but successful. Juventus plays chess. Allegri is the soul of Juventus.”
