Juve prepares Madrid having fun, tonight Atalanta-Milan

The Italian champions easily knocked out Frosinone (3 to 0) and stretched Napoli to +14 in view of the big match of the Champions League against Atletico Madrid: goals from Dybala, Bonucci and CR7 – White-hot duel for the Champions League tonight between Atalanta and Milan.

Juve prepares Madrid having fun, tonight Atalanta-Milan

Filed practice. Juventus beats Frosinone with a comfortable 3-0 and "disconnects" as best the coupon in view of the Champions League could not have been done. The one that, this evening, Atalanta and Milan will also be played, albeit in a different way: their clash, Roman permitting, puts a place in the Cup of the future up for grabs, while the black and whites, for obvious reasons, have a much closer thought in time. Atletico Madrid will be something else, there's no doubt about that, but the advance against the Ciociari has however given very useful indications. Because the most anticipated men all answered presentand from Bonucci e Chiellini, returned to the field after their respective injuries and suffered athe top, a Dybala, author of a great performance not seen for some time, until the usual Ronaldo, polished in view of the most important appointment of the year. In short, the 3-0 over Frosinone, more than for the umpteenth victory in the league (+14 over Napoli), makes you smile above all when thinking about the Champions League, the true great goal of the whole Juve world. "Apart from that 3-3 with Parma we are growing and we are better than in the first few weeks – Allegri's satisfied comment. - We have to score on Wednesday, I still have formation doubtsIt will take attention and luciditybut it will be very physical, must hold a blow". 

It will certainly be a more difficult challenge than yesterday, filed in just 17': many were enough to see Dybala's goals (6', splendid left foot from distance) and Bonucci (17', tap-in with an empty net anticipating Khedira) and, consequently, extinguishing the ambitions of a Frosinone too inferior to create problems. From then on, he basically played to get Ronaldo to score, so much so that in the 63rd minute, immediately after his 19th league goal, Allegri removed him from the field giving him the deserved standing ovation and, more importantly, a few minutes of rest in view of Madrid. There it will be a completely different story, just like tonight in Bergamo, where Atalanta and Milan will play for a good chunk of fourth place (20.30 pm). A match that promises to be very hot for the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, between two teams in great condition, albeit with different characteristics. Gasperini's Nerazzurri grind out points and goals by crushing their opponents with uncommon pace and athleticism, Gattuso's Rossoneri, on the other hand, are basing their comeback on an increasingly solid defence, as demonstrated by the only 3 goals conceded in the last 8 games. “A Bergamo needs a helmet – Gattuso explained in the conference printing. - Physically they are amazing, but they also match the quality. They play football that is unique in the world, with great pressure. We have to play a great game, WIN it would be important also on a mental level". 

However, the same goes for Atalanta, determined to play for the Champions League dream in their stadium, up until now a real "kill-the-big" fort: in fact, Inter, Lazio and Juve fell there (the latter stopped on a draw also in the league) and Roma too, while returning home with a point, he certainly didn't have a good afternoon. “We have to take this energy, this external push that comes to us from the environment and bring it into the field: we need to perform importantly from now to the end – the thought of Gasperini. – The match against Milan will be a good exam, one of the tough, full-bodied ones, but we come prepared. They are not decisive matches, but they are certainly important, which can give you confidence and conviction”. Platinum points therefore up for grabs, that nobody wants to lose. Gattuso will confirm the 4-3-3 type with Donnarumma in goal, Calabria, Musacchio, Romagnoli and Rodriguez in defence, KessieBakayoko and Paqueta in midfield, Suso, Piatek and Calhanoglu in attack. Classic 3-4-2-1 also for Gasperini, who will respond with Berisha between the poles, sillyPerlino and Mancini in the back department, HateboerDe RoonGraze and Chestnuts in the midfield, Ilicic and Gomez behind the lone striker Zapata.
