SERIE A - Evra on Allegri: “He has more flair than Ferguson"

Interesting interview released by the former Juventus full-back Patrice Evra in Repubblica. The Frenchman talked about the Juventus world, focusing in particular on Massimiliano Allegri and his way of coaching.

"As I told Agnelli, Allegri should never have left in 2019", said Evra bluntly. "For the passion and love he has for Juve, despite the initial hatred of many fans. Allegri is a real 'hunchback'. Then of course, coming back is never easy. I told him: 'You have to adapt too, especially to younger players. Don't be too hard on them. '"

The former full-back then continued: "Allegri has an incredible flair. More than Ferguson. He always knows how a game will go before it starts. In the second leg of the 2015 Champions League round of 16, in Dortmund, he predicted everything. Crazy. Before the match. he told us: 'This is a friendly match'. While a few days earlier against Genoa he yelled at us as if it were a Champions League final. Allegri is like that: he is obsessed with small, he doesn't care about big matches. "
