Calvo: “Vlahovic at the center of the project. Our goals? Let’s wait for April 19”

The Juve-Sporting Lisbon pre-match was enlivened by statements from Max Allegri and Francesco Calvo, with the former focusing on the match and the manager shifting his sights to off-pitch events as well. “The trident? I did it for you, so you’re all happy. Three or four forwards? Four, Cuadrado is also on the right”, the coach began in a joking tone. Absent and present: “Alex Sandro isn’t there because he always has this problem with his flexor, he wasn’t serene and I preferred to leave him out. We have many games, Sunday he’s disqualified and has time to recover for the return leg. Vlahovic, on the other hand, is better. Pogba he did the last training sessions with the team, he could be important for the end of the season”. On the match: “It’s a quarter-final against a team that comes from 11 consecutive useful results. They are technical, which must be faced with personality and aggression. Tonight is the first of the two matches and we have to bring home the victory”.

The new season We are planning it with various hypotheses, Juve have a solid ownership and therefore planning is less difficult”. On the match: “The lads are calm and energized. Sporting are strong, coming off a long positive streak and eliminated Arsenal, but these are matches that energize the lads. They are proud to still be in contention for two trophies in April” . On Vlahovic’s future: “There is no doubt that he is at the center of our plan for the future. He is young and has shown his qualities, others he has yet to express. We see the commitment he puts into it and his desire to improve. we are optimistic for the future even though it is not his best period”.
