Allegri rages at half-time: 'You are not a team yet'
The head coach raised his voice with the squad at the break in Napoli-Bologna, before a second half that produced Lobotka's winner. Fiorentina, on Sunday at the Franchi, will show whether the message landed.
Allegri's shouting in the Maradona dressing room broke out at half-time of Napoli-Bologna, not after the final whistle. The head coach accused the group of "not being a team yet" and of lacking "the right mentality", demanding an immediate change with no filter.
You are not a team yet
The outburst follows a run of matches in which, on this reading, Napoli kept repeating the same mistakes — Allegri chose the shock treatment over soft management. In the second half Napoli did change gear, closing out a 1-0 win through Lobotka, set up by Favasuli, who had come on for Politano at the break.
