Max Allegri argues: "Footballers are like horses and tactics are bullshit"

When Massimiliano Allegri he was a boy, his father used to take him to look at the things of horses. Just the latter are used by the Tuscan technician as a starting point to talk about football in an interview with espn. "Federico Tesio, one of the greatest horse coaches, always said that you have to see the horses in the morning and watch how your legs move. The same applies to players, so you know if I'm fit or not. I always insist with my assistants, they must look like our boys they move their legs, not i computer. I don't even have a PC, I just use a tablet that Juventus gave me ".

The speech then moved on to tactical aspects. Allegri continued the now well-known battle against the supporters of technology applied to football: "If you mechanize everything you have no more thinking players. If instead these are used to thinking, they will find other ways if the usual doors are closed. The best players decide what to do with the ball between the feet and how to find the right choice. The tactics and schemes are putt **** e, football is art and the champions are artists. You don't have to teach them anything, you just have to admire them. All you need to do is put them in the best possible condition. "
