Juventus, Allegri: “Morals are even higher after the draw with Sevilla, let’s defend 2nd place”

Gatti’s goal in the last beats of the match with the Seville has invigorated the morale of the Juventus and of the group: “After that network, morale is even higher”. However Merry must curb the European enthusiasm on the eve of the match against Cremona, second against penultimate. A fundamental step to secure second place, especially after Lazio’s draw which allows the Bianconeri to close this round of the championship in second place, regardless of tomorrow night’s result. There will be turnover, because someone has spent a lot in the Europa League and will have to do the same on Thursday: for the occasion, Allegri will find Bremercan count on Rabiotdespite the heavy blow received by Badé, and will line up in goal Perin. Despite this, woe to think about Sevilla: “Thursday’s match is as important as tomorrow’s.”

Cremonese saves in the return

Already in the first leg the game was resolved by a classy coup from Milik in the final, when the draw with Alvini’s team at the time seemed already written: Juventus suffered a lot, but in the end they brought home the result. Today Cremonese is a different team, even if still embroiled in the fight not to relegate and looking for a half-miracle to stay in Serie A: “In the second round they would be safe, they scored 3 points more than the other competitors for salvation – said Allegri -. Ballardini is doing an excellent job, he suffers little, he is very dangerous on the counterattack. These are the most dangerous matches, to be faced with great respect. Matches must be won on the field, it is useless to talk first, otherwise we bad, we put ourselves in a bad mood”. He’s in a great mood Pogbawho is increasing his impact and served the equalizer against Sevilla: “He’s improving in condition, he played 25 minutes well. When the matches get close to the area, in the opponent’s half, it becomes extraordinary. He needs to play many games to find the condition, he knows it too and we have talked about it many times, but now the important thing is that he is available”.

Armor and the future of leadership

Concentrate on the pitch without thinking about what’s going on outside. The concept of armor is back, expanded and enriched with details by Allegri. The events that take place off the field have not only created an armor for the players and the staff, but have even generated energy: “All of this only gives us energy. We have never complained about referees and stuff, even on objective facts. We need to focus on what there is to do on the field, otherwise there is a significant expenditure of energy. In the last 6 minutes against Sevilla, the team was good at managing the ball, finding the best solution to equalize. Then it came from a corner kick After the Rabiot episode, order could have been lost and maybe take the 2-0 lead, the team was mature on this. Based on everything that has happened, we have transformed everything into opportunities. We have to be good at making the most of what can be collected”.

In the end also a look at the future, at the possible arrival of Giuntolito the discussions on next season: “For now we just need to get to 4 June, in the best conditions, trying to reach the Europa League final which is not easy and stay in the top 4. The other decisions are made by the club, on the future: from the sporting director to the players. They concern the club.”
