The European media speak of a tense exchange between the midfielder and his coach Massimiliano Allegri at the Juventus Stadium after yesterday’s open training, before the duel for the quarter-finals of the Europa League against Sporting Lisboa.
Second The Gazzetta dello Sport, the midfielder’s anger would erupt once the team entered the dressing room after training.

Paredes snapped at Max”, wrote the well-known Italian medium.
In addition, already during morning training, the world champion would have manifested his unease by making a hard intervention on his Polish teammate and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. The lack of minutes in the last half was the trigger that made the ex Boca explode.
