Just as Juventus were finally beginning to find their footing on the pitch, the club received another vicious blow over the winter break.
Amid the Old Lady’s legal and financial woes, the entire board of directors resigned last week, painting an extremely bleak picture around Continassa.
However, the Ilbianconero still managed to find five reasons for Massimiliano to make the simile (aside from his lucrative contract, of course).
The first is the remarkable positive atmosphere that exists in the training ground after the return of the rest. Although the players are well aware of the club’s dire situation, the manager has so far managed to isolate the team and focus his attention on the pitch.
The second reason to smile is the red hot form of Moise Kean. The Italian was already enjoying a positive moment before the break, and now he appears in great shape after the short vacation.
Then we have Federico Chiesa, who now seems to be fully fit. The winger made a few appearances as a substitute in November but could have a more prominent role in January.
The fourth reason is the return of Juan Cuadrado and Paul Pogba. Both men are now training separately from the rest of the team due to their respective physical issues, but are hell-bent on getting back to full fitness before the next race.
Finally, Allegri must be satisfied with the intense training program supervised by Giovanni Andreini, as the club continues to believe in a great comeback in the race for the Scudetto. In that sense, the match against Napoli will surely be decisive.
