Full points to enjoy the first stop of the season. Juventus is getting ready for the away game in Parma (at 20.30pm) with the goal of getting three points, partly to give a mini-shake up to the standings, partly because winning, you know, helps to win. In this sense, the trip to the ducal land would not seem like a big problem but Massimiliano Allegri, capable of stimulating his players practically continuously, does not want to hear about an "easy game". “Juventus has historically always struggled on this pitch – he explained at the press conference. – We will have to have respect for Parma but we want to score points before the break, also because it's from matches like these that the championships go down”. Concept as clear as the sun and impeccable, just like the performance of his team at the start of the championship. The two victories against Chievo and Lazio have made it clear to everyone, if there were still any need, that Juventus' hunger is still the same, in spite of the seven consecutive titles won and the never-hidden desire to expand into Europe as well. For the Champions League, however, there will be time later, perhaps when the new ones (Cristiano Ronaldo but not only) will be inserted in the best possible way.
To tell the truth, however, the first "case" of the season, if we can speak of this, concerns an "old man" like Dybala, the only one, so far, who has not benefited from the CR7 effect. The bench with Lazio caused discussion, so much so that an adequate response is expected tonight. “He is serene, he just has to find the best condition like the others – said Allegri. – Cristiano's arrival must be a stimulus, there is great competitiveness within the team, everyone wants to play. The rest is just talk that doesn't concern me, I just have to think about bringing home results. When I stop, one day, they will explain to me what it means to play well…”. In short, many facts and few frills, in defiance of aesthetes and purists who would like to see a more beautiful, as well as winning, Juve. In Parma, however, only the 3 points will count, which the coach will look for by returning to the 4-2-3-1 already seen in Verona. In defense, in front of Szczesny, space for Cancel it, Bonucci, Chiellini and Alex Sandro, Khedira and Pjanic in midfield, four aces in attack Douglas Costa, Dybala, Mandzukic and Ronaldo. D'Aversa, called up for the first "impossible" challenge of the season, will respond with a 4-3-3 with Sepe between the poles, iacoponi, Bruno Alves Gagliolo and Gobbi in the back department, Grassi, Stulac e Barilla in the midfield, Di Gaudio, Inglese and Da Cruz in the offensive trident.
