The early match of round 33 of Serie A between Juventus and Cagliari ended in a 2-2 draw and once again disappointment surrounded Max Allegri’s army.

The Italian captain criticized his players when they `did not understand` how to approach Cagliari, claiming that his team was trying to play `tiki-taka` instead of the rough style of football they presented.

As a guest at Sardinia Stadium, the Turin team was two goals early in the first half and had to struggle to get a point thanks to Dusan Vlahovic and an own goal from the opponent.

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, coach Allegri talked about the bad first half:

“It’s simple, we let them counter-attack seven times while trying to make one-touch passes but the whole team made mistakes.”

Juventus has difficulty playing on Cagliari’s field.

“Against an aggressive team like Cagliari, you need to fight strongly.

“They had seven dangerous counter-attacks while Juventus made a few technical mistakes.

There have been questions raised about the playing spirit of the Bianconeri players.

“We went into the game with a few thoughts.

Juventus’ coach expects the players to understand how to approach the game.

“It’s good that the boys showed determination, but we can’t play the first half in this `gift-giving` style anymore.

“The team needs to understand the initial approach, a sign of maturity.

“If you want to improve your level and achieve something, you need to understand these types of matches.

After disappointing results, should Max Allegri leave so the club can undergo a comprehensive reform?

After the recent 2-2 draw, Juventus is still ranked 3rd in Serie A with 64 points and the gap with the team behind Bologna is 6 points.
