He misunderstands his player; hence, if he is not fired, I will leave the head coach of Juventus.

Allegri said: “Simple, we let seven counterattacks and were always trying these tik-tak passes to someone a metre away and doing it wrong.

“You have to fight against aggressive teams like Cagliari. We were unaware of that fact, particularly since the ball wasn’t rolling on that pitch and we had to smash it long.

“At this point in the season, you will lose if you don’t match the opponents’ intensity. We allowed seven counter-attacks and made a lot of technical mistakes. The players of Cagliari gave it their best, which is why they all cramped up in the finish. We did neither, because in such circumstances you either match them in passion or escape with technical accuracy.”

Allegri added, “We have to give this some thought, even though we got back into the game. We won’t often be able to win a game with technical brilliance if we don’t run as hard as our opponents, especially early on.

Though we should be proud of our tenacity, we cannot continue to give away the first half. After a throw-in, we gave up the second penalty; a missed pass had allowed the first.

Understanding the first approach is important since it indicates maturity. The ball moves slowly, and the pitch is rather slow in Cagliari, making it always tough to play well. My teams have always had to fight here, and we were ignorant of the circumstances.

“You have to comprehend this kind of battle if you want to go up a level and aim for anything higher. This youthful group is going through a process; they have to learn to plunge into the duels and get their hands filthy. We had to match Cagliari and at the very least keep the game, even so that our approach would begin to show when they grew fatigued. We refrained from doing that.
