Juventus-Milan, the duel continues. The recovery of the 33rd day did not bring any jolts to the rankings of both contenders, therefore the fight will continue on Sunday afternoon. At 15, at the same time, the leaders will go to Novara while the pursuer will move to Tuscany, on the field of Siena. Nothing transcendental, on the other hand we've already seen the best, and that's why many argue that the championship is practically over. However, Wednesday in the league served to demonstrate that things are not quite like this: Juve struggled a lot to beat Cesena at the bottom of the table (and now already relegated to Serie B), Milan did the same against a disarrayed Genoa . The next few days will be marked by uncertainty, on the field and on the market. Because if the bianconeri have rediscovered a striker like Borriello (may his goal in Cesena be worth the buyout?), the rossoneri are anxiously waiting to hear about Guardiola's plans, which will be announced today. Meanwhile Capello sends messages to via Turati and Allegri, although strong in Galliani's esteem, is increasingly a man alone in command. By how much, we still don't know.
HERE JUVE
After the away win in Cesena Juventus immediately returned to work. On the other hand, the calendar doesn't allow breaks, why on earth should Conte do it? The Juventus coach is already projected towards Novara, a field on which Juve have not played an official match for exactly 40 years. In fact, the last time at Piola dates back to 1972, when a goal from Causio resolved a match in the Coppa Italia; to see a Novara-Juventus in the championship instead you have to go as far as 1956. The bianconeri will find an opponent who is almost doomed, but not resigned, as we saw on Wednesday against Lazio. Conte does not want a drop in tension, also because there will be an absolutely respectable guest in the Piola stands on Sunday afternoon. As promised some time ago, Michel Platini will be present at the Piedmontese derby, which could sew another piece of the Scudetto on Juventus shirts. In this sense Marco Borriello gave a big hand, with his first goal for black and white. A goal that rewrites (at least in part) his Juventus parenthesis, so far stingy with any satisfaction and who knows that it won't be able to change a future that already seemed far from Turin. Borriello is on loan from Roma with the right to buy at 8 million; he is currently not part of Conte's plans for next season, but if he were to score more heavy goals, then everything could change. Novara will miss Matri (disqualified) and Marco is ready to take advantage of it. Speaking of forwards, Vucinic, one of the untouchables of this Juventus, took the floor yesterday: “We are aware of our strength, but the most important thing is that we have four important, very difficult matches ahead of us, and we have to look match by match. Four battles to win the war, we are three points ahead and it depends only on us ”.
HERE MILAN
Working day also at Milanello, where Cesare Prandelli was also attending the training sessions. In this case Allegri can rest assured, the manager has only stopped by to closely evaluate the conditions of some players, above all Antonio Cassano. The dangers for the Rossoneri coach come from outside, in particular from Barcelona. Sandro Rosell and Pep Guardiola have called a press conference for today, in which the current Barça coach will reveal his plans for the future. There are no certainties from Catalunya, but Mundo Deportivo (a newspaper very close to the Blaugrana) tells of a probable break. Barça would be ready to offer Pep golden bridges, as well as total carte blanche for the market, but the latter would prefer to change the scene after years of absolute triumphs. We will know the truth today and it is equally possible that Guardiola decides to renew with Barcelona, but if he doesn't do it then Allegri would really be in danger. It's no mystery that Berlusconi dotes on the reigning European champion coach (albeit for a short time yet), capable of captivating the world for 4 years, who would bring the philosophy of ball possession, so dear to him, to Milanello. However, Guardiola also has some contraindications: he costs a lot (at least twice as much as Allegri) and would need massive investments on the market. Otherwise, with all due respect to Nocerino and Muntari, the show game will continue to remain a distant memory. Meanwhile Fabio Capello is also launching his candidacy for the Milan bench, albeit indirectly: “I've been behind the desk for four years, I'd like to experience the field every day as a coach for the next two. I'd like to train abroad, but also in Italy if there was an appetizing project”. In short, Don Fabio is there, just call. In all this whirlwind of fascinating names, Allegri prepares for the away match in Siena, in which Thiago Silva could really return, who also trained yesterday in a group with his teammates.
