Pedullà: "Allegri's Usual Approach, Waiting is Not Enough in Modern Football!"

Napoli suffered a home defeat against Como, with Cesc Fabregas's team dominating for much of the match. Naturally, criticism has been directed at Max Allegri, a topic discussed by Sportitalia journalist Alfredo Pedullà on his YouTube channel.

Pedullà remarked, "These are Allegri's usual teams. I'm not prejudiced, but I expected something different. Those who say he has won everything... that's irrelevant; we're talking about the present, not prehistory. I expected a different Napoli, a proactive one, not like in Genoa, waiting to counter. Football has changed; you need to control matches, as Como did. If you win or draw due to specific moments, good for you, but the philosophy is flawed. Max was thoroughly outplayed by Cesc [Fabregas] in a clear match from the start. Then, you get a great goal from Hojlund, and a desperate push when you're losing, but the core issue remains. I'm not a prejudiced critic, but seeing Napoli's squad, their defenders, and everything else, I expect a tactical setup that matches them. I hope it changes, but I have my doubts. The second goal was an error by Anguissa, but you have to dictate the game. Modern football demands different approaches. End of story. Then, of course, everyone can defend [their chosen coach] regardless..."
