A victory to "kill" the championship. The Champions League parenthesis archived with satisfaction, for Juve it is time to return to the beloved Serie A, from 7 years (and who knows for how many more) ultra favorable hunting territory. Today, however, it is not really the case to talk about easy travel: Florence in fact it has always represented one of the most insidious stages for the Lady, the fault of a historic rivalry that causes the match to be experienced as a real derby. To Allegri, however, i 3 points are primarily of interest for the standings: conquering them would mean going +11 over Napoli and +12 over Inter. ideal situation that would make the calendar much more manageable than expected. For Juventus in fact an iron cycle is about to begin, given that after Fiorentina the direct clash with Spalletti, the derby with Toro, the match against Roma and the away match in Bergamo, without forgetting the last European stage in Bern, which must be won to close the group in first place. In short, increasing the advantage can prove to be truly decisive for the purposes of the Scudetto.
"When we get to april we will say that it will be the most difficult month – retorted Allegri. – Now let's think match after match, what matters most right now is winning in Florence. It won't be easy, for Fiorentina this is the match of the year, they will have the support of an entire city, they will do everything to beat us. We will have to have their same enthusiasm and play with great personality and technique.". The Juventus coach, as always on the eve of the championship, stresses the pitfalls that his Juve can face, aware that only a mental decline can really create problems for him. This time, however, we have to believe him: Fiorentina has every intention of ruining the black and white escape. "They are very strong, Ronaldo is number one together with Messi, Allegri is the best coach but nobody is unbeatable – Pioli proclaims. – For Florence this is “the game” and we are ready to give everything, we have great ambitions”.
The premises for a fiery match are there, now all that remains is to give the floor the floor and see what will happen. Allegri has to deal with the usual emergency in midfield (absent once again Khedira e Emre Can) and with the injury of Alex Sandro, who stopped due to a muscle problem remedied in the Champions League. His 4-3-3 it will still be more than competitive with Szczesny in goal, CanceloBonucci, Chiellini and DeSciglio in defence, Cuadrado, betancur (Pjanic could rest) e Matuidi in midfield, Dybala, Mandzukic and Cristiano Ronaldo in attack. The same game system also for Pioli, who apart from Pezzella can count on the whole squad available: the Viola coach will attempt the coup with lafont between the poles, Milenkovic, Ceccherini, Hugo and biraghi in the back department, Benassi, Veretout e Gerson in the median, Chiesa, Simeone e Mirallas in the offensive trident.
