The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 226: Juve improve, but still can’t get past Milan

Juventua actually played fairly well for a large stretch of time against a good team, but still couldn’t capitalize on the fact that AC Milan had a second-string defense in Turin, as Max Allegri’s squad suffered their seventh draw in the last 13 games. On Episode 226 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from Juventus’ scoreless draw on Saturday — including how the Bianconeri showed again that they are capable of playing a different style of football like they did in the second half against Milan, how we all are left wondering why it took until the second half to put a very shorthanded and makeshift Milan defense under serious pressure. Thoughts on Juve’s draw with Milan. It wasn’t that bad, was it? Max Allegri changed things up and got them mostly right in the second half, but why can’t we have those nice things more often? What needs to happen for Juventus to not miss out on the Champions League next season? Twitter questions — including which players we’re excited to see come back form loan, why we’ve barely heard from Juventus’ board of directors lately, if Federico Chiesa is worth the potential pay raise he wants with his new contract, if there’s any chance of Juve bringing Max Allegri back for next season due to financial reasons, and what about Allegri winning fewer trophies than Juve’s two previous managers although he’s been in Turin for three years.
