Juventus, Allegri: “Scudetto? Nothing has changed, Napoli remain favourites”
[ad_1]
Allegri recovers Of Maria and draw around him the team that tomorrow, in a sold out Allianz Stadium, will face theUdinese. After the victory in Cremona, the seventh consecutive without conceding goals, the Juventus prepare the challenge against one of the surprises of the championship: a key step in view of the big match on January 13 against Napoli at the Maradona. The introductory press conference took place about an hour after the news of Gianluca Vialli’s death and began with the Juventus coach remembering the captain of Juventus, European champion in 1996, and with a minute’s silence: “I think it’s it is right to remember maestro Castano who passed away yesterday and Gianluca Vialli who passed away this morning: two men who gave so much to football, to Juventus and I ask you to take a minute of silence in memory of these two men. Gianluca represented so much as a player, as a man above all. For the younger ones he was certainly an example to follow. What Gianluca leaves, especially to the young, is the expression of how he interpreted the matches. With heart, technique, passion. We will all miss him”.

Di Maria returns, Bremer rests, space for Rugani
Against Udinese there will finally be Di Maria, who has recovered from the blow to the ankle that kept him out against Cremonese: Fideo is ready to start from the start in attack alongside kean, who is experiencing excellent form: “We have recovered Di Maria, Paredes is improving in terms of condition. We are playing against Udinese who are having a great championship, they have quality players like our ex Pereyra, Beto is a physical player, they attack the goal with many players. It will be a complicated match like any other, but we will play it in our stadium which will be sold out.” In defence Bremer he will rest after the fatigue he suffered after Cremona, with the three-man defense that will see Rugani in the center with Alex Sandro and Danilo respectively on the centre-left and centre-right: “Bremer is tired, Rugani is ready. I’ll evaluate the formation today training. Alex Sandro should return, who is fine: between Gatti, Rugani, Danilo and Alex Sandro, taking away Bremer who is tired, three will play”.
Extend the streak of victories and gnaw points at Napoli
Despite the knockout of Napoli, defeated by Inter, for Allegri the advantage still remains a certainty for the Neapolitans, favorites for the title. However, by winning against Udinese, in the worst-case scenario, the Bianconeri will play Maradona by 7 points and the possibility of returning to -4 from the top, even if for Allegri the goal is still fourth place: “For now it’s not nothing has changed, Napoli are the clear favorites because they have so much advantage, they were stopped after 16 games. They’re having an extraordinary year, then I repeat, there’s Inter, there’s Milan, we aim to be in the top four”. One of the uncertainties of this period is represented by the choices on the right wing: Cuadrado and De Sciglio are not yet available, even if the Colombian “should be available again next week”. Ballot then between Soulé and McKennie: “Soulé is physically ready to play, but I have to evaluate whether to let him play a fifth. He has offensive qualities, the role of winger suits him better. I’m happy with how he’s grown and how he’s growing, we need to give him time. Cuadrado, De Sciglio, Bonucci, Vlahovic, Pogba, who are doing well: in fifteen days I should start having them in the team”.

Kean and Chiesa, two excellent news for Allegri
Two of the players who are more convincing at the moment deserve a separate discussion. The first is keanwho entered the game very well in Cremona on Wednesday, the second is Churchwho is increasing his playing time game after game: “I am happy to say a few words about Kean. He presented himself very well compared to last year, he has lost six kilos, he has a different mind, he is growing, his presence is heavier. But he plays differently than last year. Tomorrow I will have to evaluate whether to let him or Milik play, both together, or whether to start Di Maria. Chiesa instead in the last match, in the end, played one half with added time. well physically, he needed a match like that. He’s growing in condition, I don’t know whether to start from the beginning but the more he goes on, the more playing time increases”.
