Naples and penalty in Allegri’s sights: “They killed the championship”

Juventus hosts Napoli for the big match of the thirty-first day of the Serie A championship: Massimiliano Allegri’s statements at the press conference

The big match of the thirty-first day of A league is on stage at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, with the Juventus which hosts the leaders Napoli launched towards the Scudetto.

With something new for Massimiliano’s team Allegriclimbed to third place in the standings and without the penalty of -15 after the decision of the Coni Guarantee Board to partially accept the appeal of the Juventus club and refer the sentence on the capital gains case back to the Federal Court of Appeal. In the meantime, Juve has detached the pass for the semifinals of Europa League eliminating Sporting Club Portugal and in May will cross the Seville for a place in the grand final in Budapest. Meanwhile, Allegri breathes a sigh of relief Bremer: nothing serious for the Brazilian after the problem suffered in Lisbon, even if the former Torino player could rest in view of the second leg againstInter possibly leaving room for Captain Bonucci. In attack he always discusses the negative moment of Dusan Vlahovic, with the former Milik ready to start in the attack of the ‘Old Lady’. In midfield Fagioli could meet again from the first minute with Locatelli and the irreplaceable Rabiot.

Allegri, as usual, spoke at the conference from the Allianz Stadium press room to present the highly competitive Allianz Stadium: “Napoli are on the way to winning the Scudetto, they are having an extraordinary championship which they are winning with merit – he began the black and white coach They killed the championship, they have empty an impressive roadmap. They came out of the Champions League playing a good game, both we and they want to score as many points as possible. We expect some intense weeks between now and the end of the season”. On training choices: “I will only decide who will be called up tomorrow morning. Bremer has nothing serious, but I’ll have to assess his condition. I will eventually have to decide if he will play one of Bonucci and Rugani, both are fine. DeSciglio will be at your disposal”.

Allegri on the eve of Juventus-Naples: “I don’t know if the championship is regular”

On the difficulties of the attackers and Vlahovic’s complicated moment: “The minutes Church he has them, he played 90 minutes on Thursday, we have to see if he’s recovered. The forwards will score again, I’m not worried. There are these moments throughout the season. They will give us a big hand from here to the end. The important thing is that everyone is safe, we’ll think about Inter from Monday. I have the ability to rotate them and take advantage of the five substitutions. Vlahovic? Not only absolutely worried, he did a good workout, I saw him more serene. He has found some difficulties this year, but he is part of every footballer’s journey. It’s not that he’s become poor: he’s a great player and he has to improve like everyone else. He must remain serene and calm. The whole team is responsible, not him.”

Is the championship distorted? This is Allegri’s answer after the 15 points given back to Juventus at the moment: “I don’t know if it’s regular or not, we did everything we could. Then it is normal that there have been some conditioning, but this shouldn’t have been an alibi. We must now think about doing as much as possible between now and 4 June. We have to score as many points as possible in the league because next season we want to play there Champions League. There has been an important growth of several players, we have found a certain balance. Maybe, if we hadn’t had the penalty, we would now find ourselves with 10 more points in the standings. No one can know. After the penalty we had to reset everything, readapt to the standings and slowly get back on top. What has been done we have done well, but now we have to do even more. We have to go get the Lazio in second place and reach two finals”.

Finally, Allegri dribbles the question about the future and the renewal of Rabiot: “He still has room for improvement, in playing vertically and in shooting from outside. He is having an important and extraordinary season ”.
