Massimiliano Allegri wins the fifth Italian cup, sets a record in a season that was negative, unfortunately thrown away from January onwards, due to the team’s inability to keep their attention high and perhaps Mr Allegri’s inability to keep a group on edge which has some shortcomings but which is not so “poor” without cups as to be more than twenty points behind Inter.
The coach is happy: “For Juventus it means winning and everything is summed up in this sentence. I’m very happy for the boys, they did a good job, they brought joy to the club, to the fans and to me, so I’m very happy with the evening Winning is never easy, but it is in Juventus’ DNA. Absolutely thanks to the players, everyone, who wanted this trophy. I said before the match that they would have every chance of winning, because these matches are tough and the boys do they proved to be really good. I’m very, very happy for them, because usually when we start in July we become a team At Juventus the criticism gets to you. For them these three months are an important experience of growth for what the future of Juventus will be.”
No controversy with anyone: “Absolutely nothing happened because I was celebrating with the team and with the Curva, I absolutely didn’t say anything to anyone, I respect the club a lot, I respect the men a lot and I repeat, Juventus is about winning and the rest isn’t nothing matters. I wanted to celebrate with my boys, who truly had an important and extraordinary season, despite not being able to fight for the championship until the end. But we entered the Champions League, so the club will have… I leave.. . I’m leaving.. if I’m not Juventus’ coach next year…. since they now think I’m out of Juventus, I’m leaving a strong Juventus.”I don’t give myself anything at all, apart from jokes and jokes. , Juventus is victorious, this is the most important thing, then the club will make its assessments. I am quite realistic in things and I am very happy to be part of this glorious company. This year is now the eighth year, plus two that I’ve been out of action, so it’s as if it were ten, and I just have to thank them because they still gave me the chance to give myself so many trophies. Juventus must celebrate what we won tonight, because victories must be celebrated, but from tomorrow Juventus must prepare to win again. The future…. it is the club’s right to decide whether to keep a player, give him away, whether to keep a coach or change him. For me it was an important evening, because I have been lucky enough in my career to play in several finals thanks to the players, I had a lot of fun. However, it’s always a great event, a wonderful Juventus, a wonderful city, an incredible stadium, the fans on both sides were wonderful, so it was great fun, I really enjoyed myself tonight. You live to experience these events, I hope to experience more of them in my career. The team has an excellent base. President Agnelli asked me for sustainability and competitiveness, tonight we won and we are very happy. There are ten days left and then we will resolve the problem by talking to each other, seeing what the future of Juventus will be. Juventus must win and tonight the boys did it in the best possible way.”
Admission of guilt on Nicolussi Caviglia: “He’s an intelligent boy, I used him little, maybe I could have used him a little more, but when he was called into question like everyone else he made himself available. a good group, tonight was important for everyone, because we’ve had a really tough three months since we lost to Inter in Milan, because Juventus is an important, heavy club, the ball becomes lead, so the boys were good , they kept their shoulders wide, open and we did everything we needed to do, enter the Champions League and play in the Italian Cup final, then the boys did well to win it and I just have to thank them.”
For the future we will see what will happen in ten days, there are reasons to stop with Allegri and others to continue with the coach, the club will decide as best as possible, after all Pirlo was also sacked after an Italian cup and a Champions League qualification. The important thing is that today, as then, the Juve DNA that means victory is still alive.
