Allegri confirms winning Champions line up against Bologna
“Winning tomorrow is important, especially because we still haven’t done it at home in the previous Serie A games. It won’t be easy against Bologna and what happened against Frosinone two weeks ago has to be a warning for us. Until the referee doesn’t blow his whistle, the match his not finished.”
Despite a mediocre domestic form, with only five points in six matches, Juventus Champions League shape seem to be one of the best among Europen clubs as the Bianconeri are leading the “group of death” after winning against Manchester City and Sevilla in the first two Group D showdowns.
“Last Wednesday against Sevilla we played some quality football as the Spanish side only shot once. Anyway Champions League matches are much different that Serie A’s. Tomorrow it will be the most important game of the season.”
The Champions League victory has left such a sweet taste in the Bianconeri manager's mouth that he won’t change the last winning starting XI. Actually this represent an important twist in Juventus season as Allegri has always picked different line ups in the first nine matches played so far.
“Khedira will play the same position [of Wednesday]. Alex Sandro is fit too, but in this moment Evra is doing amazing things. Sandro has plenty of room for improvement and he definitely will be very important in the future. By the way, working just on a single system could give us problem if, for any reason, we’d have to change our tactical plans in the future.”
Before finishing the classic pre-match press conference, Allegri was asked by the media about some of his players’ condition.
“[Claudio] Marchisio in recovering from his injury and he will be available after the National team break as well as [Stefano] Sturaro. You know already about Stefan Lichtsteiner, while Martin Caceres is one of the most affordable players I can dispose of, but at the moment he is where he deserves to be [excluded from the team after last week Ferrari car crash in drunk-driving accident].
