Tomorrow evening, against Udinese, Juventus will play their 200th match at Allianz Stadium. In today’s press conference, Massimiliano Allegri spoke about the forthcoming game against Davide Nicola’s team, who recently defeated Bologna. “It’s a game we need to win: we need to have good performance and continue to gain points.”
TOMORROW’S FORMATION
The Juventus coach spoke about the players he has at his disposal. “Szczesny will play in goal. In defence, Bonucci and Chiellini will not play, while there is a possibility we will see Barzagli, just like that with Kean upfront. Today Dybala and Mandzukic trained by themselves: Paulo after the hit he sustained in Madrid is doing better and also Mandzukic with his niggling tendon in his knee. Ronaldo is available but will be on the bench. Douglas Costa is much better and will be available on Tuesday.”
MEETING THE PRESIDENT
“Last night I saw the President. We will meet again in June to discuss the renewal of the contract and to celebrate the trophies won. One is the Super Cup, we are close to the Scudetto and we are still on course for the Champions League. The trophies need to be celebrated: every victory is the fruit of our work and the sacrifice we bring home. The club and I are in tune. In the last five years we have built something important. In football, to win is something extraordinary and we need to continue and it’s even more difficult.”
THE MATCH AGAINST ATLETICO
“The match in Madrid left an important mark on us. In these 20 days the time has helped: Tuesday will be a great game. We are ready. Patience, calmness and readiness is needed.”
