Missing less and less at the kick-off of Juventus-Rome. The bianconeri fans expect to resume the path traced in the last engagements before the break. It will take a big game though, to get the better of Roma from Mourinho.
The Portuguese coach, who spoke at the press conference a few minutes ago, answered questions about tomorrow’s match at theAllianz Stadium. Confirmed the presence of Abraham among those called up, after today’s training with teammates:
“Abraham from 1 ‘? We see. Today’s training is little, but it will travel with us. If he goes on the field, on the bench or in the stands, we will see this tomorrow. Is getting better.”
According to the former Nerazzurri coach, the Juventus is among the competitors for the championship victory:
“It’s a question for Max, but I say yes. It is a very strong team that always plays to win games and the championship. It is not a team of 11 good players, but they have more than twenty good players and experience. The coach also has a lot of experience. Juve are a strong candidate. “
Then, when asked if the Roma reduced the gap with the bianconeri, he replied as follows:
“Sometimes it is difficult to answer because it seems to repeat the same things. One team plays to win the Champions League, the other the Conference. One wins nine to ten championships in Serie A, another thing is a team that does not win. Juventus worked a lot with Max and I arrived three months ago. The squads are different: they have 25 experienced players, we have 13-14 plus a group of young players who want to get there. Then when the game begins until the last second all this must be forgotten, above all we must forget it and we must have the personality and the courage to play our game and try to win it “.
Curiosity among journalists, also for the welcome that the Juventus people in the stands will reserve for the Portuguese. Here’s what he expects Mourinho:
“Maybe the same as always or different: I don’t know. When the last time at the end of the game I had a slightly criticized reaction, I saw it as a bit strange. People were left with the emotional reaction of ten seconds forgetting ninety minutes of the game. Today we talk about respect, but in those ninety minutes all this has been forgotten. It is not a drama ”.
Finally, a brief parenthesis on his relationship with Max Allegri:
“I will be pleased to greet him before the game and after. There is respect and esteem, we have been together many times in UEFA meetings. I can’t say it’s a great friendship, but I like it as a person. We have a good relationship. I am happy that he is back to work because a coach has had too much vacation with him ”.
