It will be the game of their life - Allegri ahead of the Torino clash
Juventus will visit the Stadio Grande tomorrow to face Torino after three consecutive wins in Serie A and the Champions League. Massimiliano Allegri warns his players that it is always difficult to prepare for a derby.
“Tomorrow, the fans return to the stadium and it will be a good game. We have to fix the ranking, we have a chance. We still need to adjust the table, not to fix it completely,”
Allegri said at a press conference
.
“It will be the game of their life, it’s a derby and Torino will be preparing it in the best way. We need to do the same and prepare it even better than the one against Chelsea. It will be even more difficult.
“These games are like little finals, we need to take another small step forward, it’s not easy. It will be a different game than the one against Chelsea,”
he continued
.
“Torino run a lot, Ivan Juric is doing a great job and he’s passed his ideas to his team. It will be a complicated game, we’ll need to have patience and be able to play our game for 95 minutes.”
Allegri named the two players as starters and praised
Federico Chiesa
.
“[Wojciech] Szczesny and [Giorgio] Chiellini will play for sure,”
ensured Allegri
.
“Without Morata and Dybala, we saw that Chiesa can play as a centre forward.
“The game against Chelsea was a good one, but we need something else tomorrow, we need a different game. Torino play man-on-man and we’ll need to face them properly.”
Allegri wants his team to fulfill the same defensive commitment they showed against the Blues.
Juventus
have already conceded 10 goals in six Serie A games.
“Chelsea kept the ball possession and we made some technical mistakes making their life easier,”
Allegri said
.
“We must understand that if we kept that defensive attitude for 70 minutes, we can do it for 20 minutes too. It doesn’t matter how long you defend, but the attitude must not change.”
The Old Lady may have more options in midfield and attack as
Arthur
and
Kaio Jorge
can be available against Torino after recovering from injury.
“Arthur trained with the team yesterday. Perhaps he and Kaio will be available tomorrow. We may need Arthur during the game, he is a technical player and he could help us.”
