During the initial half of the Juventus-Frosinone match on Sunday, Massimiliano Allegri vociferously communicated his displeasure to Federico Chiesa. The coach insisted that the Italian star should adopt a central playing position rather than drifting wide on the left flank.
Both Sky Sport Italia and DAZN reported Allegri’s dissatisfaction with Chiesa’s performance during the Serie A game at home against Frosinone. Pitchside reporters, cited by Ilbianconero.com, revealed that Allegri raised his voice at the Italy international, expressing discontent with his positioning in the opening 45 minutes.
Despite Chiesa’s repeated attempts to command the ball on the left flank, Allegri desired him to operate centrally, akin to a striker, in close proximity to his teammate Dusan Vlahovic, who netted two goals in the initial half. Allegri went further to instruct Kenan Yildiz to warm up from the bench after admonishing Chiesa.
Not confined to Chiesa, Allegri engaged in discussions with other Juventus players in the first half, particularly when Frosinone took the lead, leading to Adrien Rabiot’s substitution due to a foot injury.
Chiesa found himself replaced by Yildiz approximately 15 minutes into the second half.
