From our correspondent Filippo Maria Ricci

With four doubts and many hopes. So Villarreal leaves for Turin. Gerard Moreno, Foyth, Albiol and Capoue are hurt: “Gerard is training with the group, and it is already great news. But we have had negative experiences that lead us to take precaution, we will see tomorrow if and how much he can play, but already the fact that both in the group is a positive note. Albiol had muscle problems but they seem to have been overcome. Today he trained well, we will make the final decision tomorrow. His experience is very important for us, he gives everyone confidence and peace of mind. ” Possible translation: Albiol owner, Gerard Moreno no. No indication on Foyth and Capoue.

Memories

–

In Turin I won my first Europa League with Sevilla, but with Juve I lost 2-0 again with Sevilla without many discussions or options, therefore few mixed memories, positive and negative. ”

Juventus

–

“I expect a very different match from the one I experienced here in Vila-real. They are defensively strong but also have great attackers, Vlahovic and Morata are two vertical types, people with lots of goals and a very precise attacking presence. Juve can count on two dangerous wings like Alex Sandro and Cuadrado who guarantee an enormous attacking capacity for external ways. Then they have Rabiot and Locatelli inside, and with Arthur they can also keep the ball, control the game through possession. defend well, united, strong and try to keep the ball, but they will certainly press us more than they did here at Ceramica. This is why I say it will be a different game: I am sure they will be more aggressive “.

Misplaced trust

–

“Here in Vila-real they scored straight away and the 1-0 gave them a little bit of wrong confidence. As the minutes went by they realized that the game was not as easy as they thought and our equal showed that we were in the game. I expect a match in which many things will happen and for this we will have to be prepared. They grant very few chances, in Serie A they have not lost for months: it is true that they were defeated in the Super Cup, but they are used to living in need to always win, and in fact Juventus wins a lot. This is why it is the team with the most titles in Italy and one of the best in Europe. Certainly among the top 10 and perhaps among the top 5 “. Emery repeats three times that Juventus are favorites, and as many times that Villarreal has fallen into the European elite to stay there, not to be a passing team.
