Déjà vu Failure in Milan Haunted Allegri at Juventus


In his first season with Juventus, Massimiliano Allegri successfully answered criticism by presenting two domestic trophies and the Champions League final for the Old Lady. This achievement is considered even better than what was achieved by Antonio Conte, Juventus successful coach returns as ruler of Serie A for three seasons.

But in the 2015/2016 season, Allegri seems to be ready to go back to get more criticism. The upcoming new season really will provide a challenge for the former AC Milan coach. Especially after being left a number of players mainstay.

Facing the new season, Juve will no longer be strengthened by Carlos Tevez, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal. Tevez has chosen to return to Boca Juniors, Pirlo decided to move to the United States, while Vidal step closer to Bayern Munich.

Can not be denied if all three are important players Juve during the last four seasons for Vidal and Pirlo as well as two seasons for Tevez. If not injured or exposed to the accumulation of cards, three, always inhabit arrangement Juve players in every game live.

Allegri aware lost all three can not be faced with the usual course. A number of new players brought in to maintain or improve the quality of Juve after losing three pillars. Juve continued to be associated with the attacking midfielder-top attacking midfielder, where one of them was Julian Draxler.

Allegri apparently planning to look for a new game system for Juventus next season. Seeing transfer by Juventus, Juve seem to be trying 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 if a quality player at the post of attacking midfielder successfully imported. This is where the problem lies.

Find a new game system after losing star players is not one of skill Allegri. Since shine together Cagliari, Allegri actually performed only enhance what has been established the previous coach.

Continuing  Ballardini Scheme at Cagliari



When handling Cagliari, Allegri continue what has been established Davide Ballardini. Ballardini is Cagliari which changed the game system of 4-4-2 flat a la Nedo Sonetti that at the beginning of the 2007 season dealing with teams based in Sant Elia's. Ballardini entered the second round of the competition and replaced Allegri at the beginning of the 2008-2009 season.

Ballardini is a coach who managed to maximize the ability of Andrea Cossu who at the beginning of the season was purchased from Hellas Verona. When handled Sonetti, Cossu who plays as an attacking midfielder, did not fit with the scheme 4-4-2 alignment. It was only when Ballardini entry, Cagliari using the 4-3-1-2 pattern and Cossu starts to get a lot of opportunities to play as an attacking midfielder behind the two attackers.

When Ballardini replaced by Allegri, Allegri was revolutionized total Cagliari strategy even when it was only finished 14th. Allegri still use a 4-3-1-2 formation. Even the 9th position in the Serie A Cagliari achieved when the best in the last 10 years, still use a player that is not much different from the main squad Ballardini. The new players brought Allegri at the beginning of his arrival, only Federico Marchetti (goalkeeper) who played as a core squad.

Names such as Davide Astori (now still a mainstay player Cagliari) and Andrea Lazzari to seize the main place in the second season. But what happens, in the second season Allegri is only able to deliver Cagliari finished 14th Serie A.

Leonardo enhance and Failure With Milan


Not much different is done Allegri with AC Milan. When joined at the beginning of the 2009-2010 season, the coach who is now aged 47 years was also just continue what has been established Leonardo, Milan coach he replaced.

Arguably, Allegri get a player with a better quality of Leonardo. 4-3-1-2 Leonardo, putting Alexandre Pato and Marco Borrielo (with reserve Klas Jan Huntelaar) as a tandem on the front lines with the support of as an attacking midfielder Ronaldinho and Andrea Pirlo as a regista. Both midfielder is accompanied by a wide midfielder Gennaro Gattuso, Massimo Ambrosini, Clarence Seedorf, Mathieu Flamini or David Beckham.

4-3-1-2 Quality is then enhanced by Allegri in the next season by bringing Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kevin Prince Boateng. Although Ronaldinho left in the winter transfer market, Milan managed to balance the midfield by bringing in Mark van Bommel and Antonio Cassano.

Van Bommel is the player who makes the exclusion of Andrea Pirlo (Pirlo played just once in Serie A after the arrival of Van Bommel, and even then as a substitute). While the departure of Ronaldinho made Boateng get a place to show off, and Cassano (together with Pato) make Milan more varied line of attack when Ibrahimovic appeared under perform. Milan have won the Serie A.

The next season Pirlo leave because not included in the plan Allegri. This is what makes Milan, more or less, a loss of magic in midfield. Even so, there are still many players champions Milan squad that survived the previous season so that makes Milan could be a Serie A runner-up, with rival Juventus until the end of the season.

It was only when Thiago Silva and Ibrahimovic, and the senior players such as Alessandro Nesta, Gattuso, Seedorf and Van Bommel released, Allegri can no longer rely on the same strategy. Allegri started to change the basic formation Milan on the departure of players pillars in two seasons with Milan.

At the beginning of the 2012-2013 season, Allegri failed to maximize the 4-3-1-2 formation with a squad that is where the first three games straight to swallow two defeats. Stephane El Sharaawy is a mainstay Allegri flagship when players go, not in accordance with the scheme of the two attackers. Allegri was then transform essentially becomes a 4-2-3-1 formation with El Sharaawy as a left winger since week 4.

The scheme is still considered to be less consistent for the Milan game, in which received  lose in five matches in the first round. Aware can not forever rely El Sharaawy, Milan was then bring Mario Balotelli in the winter transfer window. The presence of Balotelli also makes Allegri transform essentially becomes a 4-3-3 formation and sufficient to lift the performance of Milan who finished 3rd.

Back scheme changed after El Sharaawy long injury. Allegri took the opportunity to change its strategy with the arrival of Valter Birsa and Ricardo Kaka at the start of the season 2013/2014. Robinho Together, these three players alternately fill two posts attacking midfielder in a 4-3-2-1 formation.

However, this strategy fails to change, even much worse where Milan struggling in the bottom board. This then causes Allegri was sacked in mid-season and replaced Seedorf. Seedorf lucky to lift the performance of Milan to eighth at the end of the season.


Seeing gait Cagliari Allegri since together, and especially when dealing with Milan, Allegri can be regarded as a coach who is able to enhance the strategy used previously coach. While the matter of experimenting affairs tactics after losing star player, failures in Milan is an example of how Allegri difficulty rebuilding a squad without a flagship player in the previous season.

Allegri may have successfully implemented a new strategy for Juve, while using a 4-3-1-2 formation, in its inaugural season. But without a flagship star players, could Allegri again gave a positive result for Juventus?

Yes, Allegri now face dejavu, the same situation as when he coached AC Milan. Pirlo's departure, Tevez, and Vidal will certainly make Allegri seek new formation and the best that can be applied to the Juventus squad that exist today. And if he again failed to become champion next season and Juve disappointing the next few seasons, it can be concluded if Allegri is a coach who can only continue or enhance the previous coach strategy.
