Allegri continues to repeat that the maximum objective is to compete for fourth place. This is not the case because…
In football, as in life, things often change quickly. However, there is something that remains immutable, stronger than time. The obstinacy with which almost everyone prefers to lower the level of objectives rather than raise the bar of ambitions. Coaches in particular do it, as they always prepare a landing strip for themselves: we have to grow, we’re missing this or that player, the competition is fierce, and so on. In short, there is a powerful temptation not to reveal yourself, to keep yourself sheltered, stifling the aspirations of your fans, in the hope of being able to puff out your chest and demonstrate that you have always done something more. Allegri did not escape this rule and ended up infecting everyone a bit.
