Allegri conference before Monza-Juve | Gazzetta.it

The Juventus coach talks about the advance in Brianza. So on the injured players: “Danilo and Alex Sandro will be available, but not at 100%. We will evaluate Locatelli in training, it’s a pain problem”

Overtaking operation act II. Tomorrow Juventus plays early in Monza with the possibility of leading for 48 hours, awaiting Napoli-Inter on Sunday evening. “Monza – underlines Massimiliano Allegri in the conference – last year took six points away from us and prevented us from scoring. It will be a difficult and important match, also to follow up on the draw against Inter. Making the wrong approach and not putting the right intensity into it would be an inexplicable mistake, of little maturity. We cannot afford to underestimate anything. We are aware of our limits, we have a good ranking, but we haven’t achieved anything yet. Let’s take it one step at a time. The Monza of my friend Galliani, a great manager and brilliant person, is well led, has good players and suffers little on a defensive level. Palladino? As usual, Galliani didn’t make a mistake as a coach: alongside Adriano he can only grow and have an excellent career.”

ON THE SHIELD

From Monza to the title race. “Rabiot said he believes in the championship, is the Frenchman more optimistic than her? I don’t enter the locker room, he is sacred. You have to have the ambition and desire to do something important, but you shouldn’t forget that staying out of the Champions League was a technical and economic damage to the club. It is necessary to return to it, taking one step at a time. We have to look at fifth in the standings and try to escape from those behind us. Being two points behind Inter is a source of pride, but at the same time we must not lose sight of who is chasing us because in football everything can change quickly. We must not maintain, but improve. Starting from tomorrow’s match in Monza.”

LOCATELLI TO BE ASSESSED

“Locatelli owner? We will evaluate based on the pain that Manuel will feel in the next few hours – underlines the Juventus coach. Should he not make it, we have Nicolussi Caviglia and other solutions. Alex Sandro and Danilo are available, but they are not yet one hundred percent.”

THE GOALS FROM THE POINTERS

Meanwhile, with Inter, Vlahovic and the strikers’ fast is over. “Dusan and Federico – he continues – played a good performance against Inter, we’re all fine up front. For the good of the club, we have to return to the Champions League: some people play less and they may be angry, but it is important that team objectives come before personal ones. Do the attackers score little? The important thing is to win games.”

THE FUTURE OF MAX

“Is my future at Juventus or away from the club? I – concludes Allegri – have a contract with Juventus until 2025 and we are working well for the future of the club. With the ownership and the new managers, from the CEO Scanavino to sporting director Giuntoli to Manna, I get along very well. There is good harmony and everything is there to create something important together with the youth sector for the next few years. At Juventus I learned that people pass and the club’s DNA remains. For this reason the important thing is to shut up and work.”
