It all starts in the final moments of Napoli-Bologna, when the Azzurri have a potentially decisive counterattack at their disposal. Lucca carries the ball forward and has the chance to play in Lang, but opts to go alone instead: he hesitates too long and ends up being caught and closed down by the Rossoblù center-backs. 

A decision that sends Allegri into a rage. The coach does not hide his anger and immediately turns toward Edoardo De Laurentiis, who is at the edge of the pitch, shouting and gesturing as if demanding an explanation for what he has just seen. It is an image that perfectly captures the manager’s dissatisfaction with how a dangerous move was handled: not decisive at that moment, but one of those situations that could matter in the future and that Allegri would have wanted to see managed in a completely different way.

A few moments later the final whistle blows, but the 1-0 win does not calm Allegri. Dark expression, no celebration, and an immediate exit from the pitch, without stopping to greet anyone: the coach quickly heads down the tunnel, still visibly irritated by that wasted counterattack at the end. 

Speaking to Sky Sport after the game, the Napoli coach clarified the incident: "In the end we could have managed a couple of situations better, we started keeping possession in our own half, whereas possession should be kept in the opposition half. We absolutely have to improve in that respect" - FULL QUOTES HERE.
