A biography for Massimiliano Allegrihasn’t been written yet.
“The VAR was introduced to reduce controversies, and instead, they have increased - possibly because we Italians like to stoke them.”
“I'd like to have a 15 million euro villa, but if I can't afford it, I have to look for an apartment that I like.”
“Mandzukic has scored everywhere he has played. He has a lot of personality and plays at international level.”
“I had a few passionate discussions with my own coaches, but it wasn't for more playing time or anything like that. It was because, even then, I wanted to run the team my own way.”
“Sir Alex Ferguson already has his place in the history books; he is definitely one of the best coaches ever.”
“If you won every game, which is impossible, then life would be flat and dull.”
“You cannot win every game.”
“We should all learn from Ronaldo, and I, too, have learned, because it's not everyone who gets to work with the best player in the world.”
“I like making players better and smarter.”
“In life, things do not always stay the same. There are certain alchemies that marry together at particular moments in particular places with particular people.”
“Having a lot of attacking players on the field and a good balance at the back is the foundation of victory.”
“Unfortunately, in football, sometimes you think that things might go one way, but eventually, they take an unexpected turn or head in another direction.”
“I see things differently: you need to take risks in life.”
“You can play Dybala and Ronaldo; it just depends on the situations.”
“The Champions League mustn't be experienced like an obsession because, when you have an obsession, you never win!”
“Football is not an exact science, but it is about chemistry: Ronaldo and Mandzukic, when they are together, have an excellent understanding.”
“If we want football to be a sport that is no longer a sport, then use VAR on every incident. However, if we get to March, where every point becomes decisive, then games can last three or four hours.”
“If the opponents are really clammed up, you need to pass around them. If they leave gaps, you pass between the lines.”
“Not every cloud has a silver lining.”
“I always said that VAR is a very important tool on objective and important decisions.”
