It's always more tussle Champions. Lazio draw in Verona (1-1, goals from Pedro and Ngonge), as well as shifting the balance of the fight for salvation, he further compacted the band that goes from third to sixth place, the one in which placements are played in the Europe that counts. From the Roma al Milan very heavy positions dance, but the results of Gasperini and Sarri leave all the scenarios open, especially since next Saturday there will be precisely the direct clash between Lazio and Atalanta. The Champions League race, according to the current standings, is no longer about the Juventus, who however this evening is looking for important points in Salerno: for which objective we will understand later, when the sporting justice has run its course, in the meantime, however, winning becomes fundamental, even if Nicola certainly will not roll out the red carpets.
Salernitana – Juventus (20.45 pm, Dazn)
The Arechi match, points in hand, would almost seem like a salvation clash. Almost, precisely, because the technical difference is enormous and the Bianconeri are there to non-football issues: unfortunately for them, however, the problems are far from finished, which is why they would do well to win as many matches as possible, in order to "parry" the blows of sports justice. Mission easy to say, a little less to do given that, since minus 15 arrived, the Lady has collected one point in two games, showing its best face only in the Italian Cup. The feeling, therefore, is that the stimuli are failing and this can be very dangerous, especially with the strands of inquiry at the gates: around mid-March, more or less in conjunction with the appeal to the Coni for the capital gains ruling, the decision will come salary issue, after which i will open capital gains chapters-bis (the one with third-party companies) and Uefa. The risk of losing more points is very high, which is why Allegri can't make mistakes again in the championship, starting from tonight in Salerno.
Allegri thinks about salvation: "This is a direct clash"
"We we have to do well on the pitch, without an alibi – thundered Allegri at the press conference -. With Monza we had a bad first half and we paid dearly for everything, now we have to do well in the league: you can't unplug it and do well only in cups. Salernitana are two points behind and our goal is to reach twelfth in the standings, this allows us to think one step at a time, to work and improve on all levels. It's our goal, they took 15 points from us and we have to reach 40 to save usYou need to set yourself mini goals. To catch up with the teams in front you have to win and that's what we have to do, this will allow us to keep the tension high also for the cup matches".
Salernitana - Juventus, the formations: Allegri relies on Di Maria and Vlahovic
The salvation plan (talking about it is absolutely not anachronistic, especially if other penalty points arrive) starts from Salerno, against a team already capable of creating problems in the first leg. The 2-2 draw on 11 September went down in history for the “Candreva case”, incredibly forgotten by Var in canceling Milik's goal, but Salernitana created so many problems for Allegri, so much so that they remained ahead until the 93rd minute. We will need the best Juve possible, but without taking the opponent lightly: the Juventus coach, not surprisingly, will rotate the men a bit in all departments, in an attempt to keep up with Salernitana also from an athletic point of view. The 3-5-2 Juventus should see Szczesny in goal, Gatti, Bremer and Danilo in defense, Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot and Kostic in midfield, Di Maria and Vlahovic in attack. Nicola, reassured by the victory in Lecce, will respond with a 4-4-2 with Ochoa in goal, Sambia, Bronn, Troost-Ekong and Bradaric in the back, Candreva, Coulibaly, Bohinen and Vilhena in the midfield, Piatek and Dia as an offensive couple.
