If he had been on the Juventus bench on Tuesday night any other coach, perhaps one of those who “like people who like them”, we would probably have had another narration of that final “mending” signed by Milik and suggested by Weah. That is, we would have heard adjectives such as “genius” in the changes. But no. Luckily for us, the same Max Allegri who never takes himself very seriouslytalked about “fluke”. And so on to dismantle any ready-made scaffold.
Juve, Cambiaso’s outburst and Allegri’s gesture
But what is most striking is the lesson that must be learned from an apparently marginal episode that occurred a few minutes before the closing credits. Explicit reference to replacement of Cambiaso with Weah, the author of that play that ensured the 2-1 final and the Juventus caravan’s trip to Rome for the mid-May final. The boy – and the TV reported the episode in every detail – took the substitution very badly and immediately made it clear to Allegri by telling him more or less “always me”. He recalled, among other things, very closely, another such scene occurred between Ancelotti and Vinicius Jr. during the Spanish “classic” or in the past a replay with Ribery at Bayern ended with a kiss on Carlo’s cheek which dispelled the fatal wrath of the Frenchman.
Cambiaso’s run towards Weah after Milik’s goal
Whoever manages a group can react according to two codified models: either as Antonio Conte did with Lautaro at Inter which was then closed with a fake boxing match at Appiano Gentile, or by speaking into the interested party’s ear and making him understand that it is more the fate of Juventus or the team is important rather than the personal fate of a player. Then the subsequent facts took care of agree with the substitution because Weah and Milik set up the goal useful for playing the next final. To tell the truth, there is one last detail to add: and that is, after the goal, Cambiaso’s desperate run towards Weah who hadn’t even said goodbye, rudely, for the change. Let’s be clear: it’s not the only one in the series because the season was opened by public revolt of Osimhen and Kvara in the face of Garcia’s choices, at Napoli. Then they know how it ended for Napoli. And do you know why? Perhaps because all public opinion, including critics, instead of taking the coach’s side, caressed the two attackers and aimed only slaps at the Frenchman. Think people think.
