Attacked and threatened. Guido Vaciago, director of “Tuttosport”, accuses Massimiliano Allegri. After the match of the Italian Cup final won by Juventus, the coach allegedly met him near the press room. “Shitty director! Yes, you shitty director. Write the truth in your newspaper, not what the club tells you! Stop playing hustlers with the club”, the words that Vaciago attributes to Allegri and which he reported in a his article published today in the Turin sports newspaper. And again: “Look, I know where to come and get you. I know where to wait for you. I'll come and tear off both your ears. I'll come and hit you on the face. Write the truth in the newspaper.”
“Of the whole affair, which in itself should not become news, the doubt remains as to what Allegri's phantom “truth” is, because if we knew it we would gladly write two pages about it – is Vaciago's reflection – And it remains, unfortunately, the threatening attitude of the Juventus coach towards a journalist. Anything can be involved in the confrontation, even borderline insults, but the threat is not vile, intimidating and even dangerous, in a world where possibilities If someone takes the trouble to put it into practice you always risk finding it.”
But yesterday was a busy night for Cheer up who evidently had some revenge to take, after the Italian Cup victory against Atalanta. So much so that he even clashed with the club during the celebrations (he was caught on camera several times as he kicked Giuntoli off the pitch).
