The bone of contention was a “but enough” shouted by Conte to the AC Milan fans after some controversy. From there, sparks flew, especially between Allegri and Oriali, Antonio’s right-hand man. There were several disagreements between them throughout the match. Max dismissed everything as “field things”, but what was most striking was the missed handshake between the two technicians.

At the end of the match Allegri, defeated 2-0 and eliminated in the Super Cup semi-final by Napoli, went straight to the changing rooms without saying goodbye to Conte. The Azzurri coach, who remained on the pitch to greet his opponents, shook hands with Marco Landucci, Allegri’s historic deputy, and the AC Milan players. He and Max did not cross paths. The atmosphere heated up after half an hour of the match: in the 29th minute Rabiot kicked Politano off the ground, who remained on the ground in pain, then his teammates and the Napoli bench called for a red card for the Frenchman. Referee Zufferli didn’t even issue a yellow card, as he had done previously with Hojlund for a late intervention on Maignan. This is why Conte and Oriali got nervous. From then on a series of skirmishes and back and forth between the two benches. Until the failed handshake.
