And after the Champions League it's up to the championship. There is no "peace" for Juventus, forced, for the umpteenth time, to win the 3 points. In fact, against Palermo (20.45 pm) there is no margin for error: the Lady, if she wants to continue her climb in the standings, must necessarily win. “It will be a difficult game, we will have to take the field with a lot of malice – explained Allegri in the press conference. – We must not let our guard down, continuity will be fundamental to get back on track”. The Tuscan coach's concept is undeniable, especially if you look at it in the short term. Between now and Christmas, Juve will have two direct clashes with Lazio and Fiorentina: very important, of course, but only with Barbera's 3 points in the pocket.
On the other hand, the Bianconeri have already "given away" enough points and now they have to run, as indeed they have been doing for about a month. After the defeat in Sassuolo only victories came, in Italy (Turin, Empoli, Milan) and in Europe (Manchester City), testifying to the team's continuous growth. Thanks also to Allegri, whose choices, often contested, proved to be right both on a tactical and men's level. The emblem is what is happening in Morata: untouchable until recently and now Mandzukic's reserve. “Right now Mario is more useful to the team – glossed over the coach. – Alvaro is regaining his physical condition, his time will also come ”. Dybala, on the other hand, does not have these problems, whose management has repeatedly been a cause of dispute between Zamparini and Allegri.
"I almost don't call him..." joked the coach, determined to avenge the provocations of the rosanero president on the pitch. Al Barbera will be 3-5-2 (a system supported by many "senators") with Buffon in goal, Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini in defence, Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba and Alex Sandro in midfield, Mandzukic and Dybala (ahead of Morata) in attack. “They are fine but we too will be competitive – Ballardini said. – There is no sure way to stop Juve but we have a duty to try." The Rosanero coach, after the excellent point collected on the Lazio field, will rely on a 4-3-2-1 with Sorrentino in goal, Struna, Gonzalez, Goldaniga and Lazaar in defense, Hiljemark, Jajalo and Rigoni in midfield, Brugman and Vazquez on the trocar behind the lone striker Gilardino.
