Outside of the Boot: The Kings of Italy — Juve win again

In October, Juventus was in unfamiliar territory. Through the first ten games of the season, the reigning champions of Serie A had accumulated just twelve points. After losing their opening match, manager Massimiliano Allegri emphasized that “Serie A is a marathon, not a 100 meter final.” But following their 1-0 defeat to Sassuolo in late October which saw Juventus off to their worst start in Serie A in almost fifty years, Allegri’s tone was distinctly different. He called for “an immediate change of attitude” in the team, and proceeded to take the team on a week-long training retreat. After a week away from their families, the players returned to Turin and won 2-1 against local rival Torino. They haven’t looked back since.
