Watch: Allegri turns to bench again as Leao scores penalty – the reason

All eyes were on Rafael Leao yesterday, but Massimiliano Allegri could not watch the goal that gave AC Milan the lead.

Against Juventus, many noticed that Allegri did not stand to watch the penalty as it was taken, and whilst he still reacted to the miss, he did not see it directly. So, with Milan getting another chance from 12 yards this weekend, many were keen to see if it changed. However, it did not.

Allegri turns again

MilanPosts relayed the video on social media, as can be seen below. However, there is a reason why Allegri does this, as Calciomercato.com writes.

The coach is one who ‘experiences the game in a special emotion’, and him turning away is nothing new, especially in these tense moments of the game. Maybe it is blind faith and confidence in the result.

Either way, it probably will not change, perhaps definitely will not. We must wait to see if Allegri sees.
