Allegri’s Tactical Insight: Why Chiesa and Yildiz Aren’t a Starting Duo
Ahead of tonight’s showdown with Fiorentina, Max Allegri sheds light on his decision not to pair Kenan Yildiz and Federico Chiesa in the starting lineup.
The match is set to kick off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT), with Juventus aiming to capitalize on their recent Coppa Italia success against Lazio.
Despite their Coppa Italia triumph, Allegri emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus against Fiorentina, stressing the need for a well-rounded approach to secure a positive result.
With the race for third place heating up, Allegri sees tonight’s game as a prime opportunity to solidify Juventus’ position in the standings, especially after favorable results for their rivals.
As Dusan Vlahovic returns from suspension, Allegri underscores the young striker’s potential for growth while emphasizing the immediate need for impactful performances.
Allegri’s tactical tinkering, including brief flirtations with different formations, highlights his adaptability, but he ultimately reverts to a familiar setup, opting against fielding Yildiz alongside Chiesa.
Explaining his rationale, Allegri points out the similarities between Yildiz and Chiesa in their playing style, opting instead to utilize Yildiz’s versatility from the bench, particularly in light of Milik’s absence due to injury.
