Juventus-Genoa Ends in Tension: Allegri's Outburst and Vlahovic's Red Card

Juventus-Genoa ended in a climate of tension, with Dusan Vlahovic getting sent off towards the end of the match for excessive protesting. A decision by the referee Giua came as the Serbian showed no signs of calming down. Upon leaving the field, however, he explained the situation to Massimiliano Allegri who demonstrated his nervousness about the situation in the post-match interview with Sky. Although the connection with the studio started without problems, soon after, the Juventus coach lost his temper.

Juventus-Genoa 0-0, a bianconero psychodrama: another draw for Allegri amid boos from the Stadium. Vlahovic expelled, will miss the Lazio match

What Allegri said in the post-match

"People want the trident? I'm the coach, not a politician, I don't have to follow the crowd that always supports us." This was Allegri's first response to the journalists in the studio, with his mood beginning to heat up, as also confirmed by the increasingly visible sweat on the forehead of the coach. To the observation by Teotino, present in the studio, about the lack of results, the coach then retorted: "It seems to me that we are third. Do you know how to coach? I don't know how to be a journalist, I don't presume to tell the journalist how to do their job. I can ask the journalist questions about how to do their job, not tell them how to do it."

Then the former Milan continued: "Only seven points in the last eight games? Then I can say that I got 46 in the first 19. Certainly, I make mistakes. Ask me a more intelligent question and I'll respond." From the studio, there was also an attempt to lower the temperatures which, however, was unsuccessful: "You don't need to try to understand, you just need to ask questions, which is different. What do you understand anyway? I coach the team, not you."

In the press conference

The incident did not go unnoticed even in the press conference, where a question about his mood was raised. To those present, Allegri responded: "I wasn't nervous, I just responded to a journalist who wanted to substitute himself as the coach. On the field, the team felt the importance of the match. I'm calm and confident about the work we do, because unfortunately in the first half of the season we did a lot and now little. We still have the possibility of the Coppa Italia and then to finish in the top four."
