Allegri, the title is gone but Juve has a good future
Massimiliano Allegri
Juventus is in sharp decline, it is there for all to see and the results also confirm it: only one victory in the last six matchdays. “But I’m not worried – Massimiliano Allegri is keen to underline to reject the rumors of a ‘crisis’ – but rather sorry for the points left by the wayside: we know that now they are heavy against Atalanta and it won’t be decisive.” The Bianconeri have now left the Scudetto race, “but to date we have achieved our objectives because we are fighting for the first four places and in the semi-final of the Italian Cup – replies the coach – and now we will have to be good at getting to the end: for the We tried to win the title, but this team has an important future.” Looking to the future, in fact, the coach finds many elements to imagine a return to the glories of the past: “There are young guys like Yildiz, Iling, Miretti and Fagioli, even Vlahovic and Cambiaso are two born in 2000 – underlines Allegri – and they need just to face high-level matches in order to grow: in 3 or 4 years, they will be other players.” And, speaking of young people, the management of Nonge, launched in the 76th minute in the 76th minute and replaced in the 90th minute after the penalty foul on Osimhen, caused discussion: “In reality it’s not an uneducational move, there were a handful of minutes left and I had need two strong heads, but the substitution shouldn’t have been that” the coach’s explanation. With Napoli dismissed, Atalanta is present: “They won’t be tired, they rested five players on Wednesday – says the coach on the match scheduled for 6pm at the Stadium – and it will be an important match for them as well as for us: we have to play a good game match and get the result, we haven’t beaten them at home for five years.” Good news came from the finishing at Continassa: “McKennie has done all the training with the group, he is available and if he is well he will start” announces Allegri. The midfield will not have the injured Alcaraz and Rabiot, with the Frenchman aiming to return to Genoa, while the suspended Vlahovic will not be in attack: “But I am convinced that Milik will do well – the solution for the offensive department with the usual run-off Chiesa-Yildiz – and now Kean is back too: he will give us other options for this championship finale.” The Italian born in 2000, in fact, is heading towards his first call-up after three months of absence: in this long period of time his move to Atletico Madrid in January was now a done deal, then he returned to base due to some problems that emerged during medical visits.
Atalanta at Juve in the chase for the Champions League
At the home of Juventus, in the early evening of Sunday, Atalanta, in the fifth forced leg out of the seven scheduled in three weeks on two fronts, tries to make a run for the lost fourth place with only one point in the last three days. Net of the ranking and UEFA’s decisions regarding the taking over of the Champions League positions also by the fifth-placed team, coach Gian Piero Gasperini clarified his thoughts and his objectives after the match in Lisbon on Wednesday evening: “We are still in the running for everything first of the break that will precede the last phase of the season, the decisive one”. A reference that is valid both for the second leg of the Europa League next Thursday hosting Sporting, in which victory is a must, and for the last two Sundays on the threshold of the championship break, precisely from the Bianconeri and therefore receiving Fiorentina in Bergamo on Sunday 17. From this perspective, tomorrow’s lineup must take into account three factors: the best possible combination of men and formation, which will be 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 with Scamacca confirmed as the sole terminal and the attacking midfielder Koopmeiners moved to the right wing with containment tasks, the energy to be saved for the more tired players in view of the European commitment and the management of the suspended players De Roon, Zappacosta and Lookman. It’s easy to think that the latter could be replaced at the start by De Ketelaere, or by Pasalic in a more careful formation, to avoid the risk of having to skip the Viola in the next match, but also to be fresher against the Portuguese. However, it is unlikely that the team can deprive itself by calculation of an element of disruption and reversal of the front such as De Roon, alongside Ederson, while Zapapcosta is in a run-off with Hateboer to replace the suspended Holm on the right side. In defense Djimsiti would ask for rest after 16 straight full-time matches and, in this case, the candidate is Hien between Scalvini and Kolasinac. Finally, Carnesecchi takes Musso’s place between the posts again after the parenthesis of the round of 16 first leg match.
