Juve is a defense emergency. The good news is Dybala and Bernardeschi

The head in these hours returns to that rescue of Locatelli on an attempt by Antiste, in the first leg, on the partial of 2-1 for the opponents. This is enough to raise the level of attention to Continassa, because that 3-2 comeback success against Spezia brings back to one of the main lessons collected this season: there are no simple games, you have to know how to hold up in difficult moments of a match and then take advantage of the best to hit the target. Almost five months later, with a January market that certainly returned enthusiasm and put some things in order in terms of values, we are still moving in the same vein, between one obstacle and another, wanting to keep our head on the minimum objective of the fourth place and the heart on a bigger dream called the Scudetto: difficult but not yet impossible due to the slowdowns of those in front.

What is certain is that Allegri can only look at home, because at the moment he has problems for himself and beyond. Above all because of the injuries: because if he has found three again (and not yet at the most) in the last few hours he has lost an important one again, Bonucci. The defense, in short, must be patched up once again, waiting to understand if Rugani will be able to endure a long minute or less immediately. The alternative plan is soon done: Danilo next to De Ligt, with De Sciglio possibly third as in Florence, also because the proposed solution has given the desired results. The confirmation of that 3-5-2, with Cuadrado and Pellegrini on the lanes, would still force all the available midfielders – i.e. Locatelli, Arthur and Rabiot – to overtime – but this also seems quite linked to the other two returns, those of Bernardeschi and Dybala , which – perhaps in progress – could give the opportunity to lighten the median (from three to two) and widen the game in the offensive phase (with a 4-2-3-1). The returning players will still be evaluated until tomorrow, then Allegri will have a clearer match plan to return to winning at the Stadium. Until then, however, he will have to decide whether to field Vlahovic for the eighth consecutive game in less than a month or focus on Kean and Morata, so as to let the Serbian catch his breath and maybe spend it while the game is in progress.
