Allegri: This is our plan to get back to winning track
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed that his team is still suffering from the effects of the bad defeat it recently suffered against Sassuolo 4-2, stressing that Lecce match on Tuesday will be the Bianconeri’s gateway to returning to the path of victories.
“Tomorrow we must play the necessary match to return to victory and erase the bad defeat against Sassuolo. We also need to get used to the fact that now we only have one chance a week to translate the training work into performance.” Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said this in the presentation press conference on the eve of the match against Lecce. “I will have to evaluate the training on a physical level today. Gatti has 26 games with Juventus, so he must remain calm and calm: mistakes in his career in football that count will make others happen. Szczesny is the starting goalkeeper and will play tomorrow, knowing however that Perin has become a very important problem. We have a small problem with Kean who stopped yesterday in training due to the flare-up of a small tibia problem, the others are all fine. Chiesa spent a lot on Saturday, I have to evaluate, one of him and Vlahovic could start from the bench: tomorrow the changes will make the difference. We need to stay in the game, focused, without getting nervous, and Dusan has to grow in this aspect, but he will, he’s young.” On possible leadership problems: “We have Danilo, Szczesny, Alex Sandro who is injured, Rugani himself who has grown a lot: we have lost in experience, we have gained in speed, enthusiasm, light-heartedness. We must continue to work in balance, knowing that Situations can happen but with Sassuolo they were more individual than team situations. Our limitations must become our strengths. We are Juventus and there is an obligation to always achieve the best. There is pressure and a sense of responsibility, they are things to live with but they are also the most beautiful things for a footballer. We continue our path on this, with an eye to the future.” He concluded: “We talked about what happened in Sassuolo match, especially mentally focus on. We hope to achieve some victories now, but at the moment we are focusing on Lecce with a little anger.”
