DORTMUND – On the eve of the mother of all games, the second leg of the Champions League on Wednesday night (20.45) at the home of Borussia Dortmund, Massimiliano Allegri wants Juve to fight rather than government. Woe to think that the gateway to the G8 in Europe has already been wide open from the first leg 2-1 in Turin: “Let’s start with a minimal advantage. We know the characteristics of Borussia, who has great speed and pressure. We have to make mistakes little and hit his weak points. It will serve a good test in terms of technical, physical and mental. I expect a good game, that hardly will end 0-0. We need to make a smart race, knowing that we will need to go through two goals. “
The Juve has 9 million good reasons (in EUR) for access to the quarterfinals of the Champions: 3.9 of prize by UEFA plus another 5 between between market pool (television rights) and the box office. Allegri marries the presidential line: partitissima the Signal Iduna Park will be critical but not decisive in assessing the new course Juventus. “I’m glad of the words of Agnelli: not just a challenge to judge a season. So far we have worked well, now we are close to the end. We want to get through the round, reach the quarter-finals and then see what happens. The virtually championship is not yet closed: 14 points ahead are many in 11 days from the end, but we are still missing six wins to win the league title. And in the Italian Cup we can overturn the result against Fiorentina and reach the final. ” The coach did choir captain Buffon, interviewed by Mediaset: “Agnelli gave a rational judgment. Beyond certain cataclysms, if tomorrow we play up to par, proving to be arrived at a high level in Europe, and then we confirm in Italy, then it will be a great season. “
Alas, however, to think that whatever happens will be a success:” As long as we have the opportunity to extend the dream-Champions – adds SuperGigi – we want to grow it and pursue it , also because it does not cost anything and possess the qualities to continue. ” As if to say that the appetite comes with eating: the now almost inevitable fourth consecutive league title has not satisfied the Bianconeri. “Tricolore stored? Well, 14 points ahead are many … – Buffon admits to Sky -. I’m happy because probably no one, including us, thought we reiterated our supremacy. But I’m especially happy for Allegri: only a man with incredible courage he could sit on the bench for Juventus of three titles in a row. “
The finishing this morning in Vinovo has dissolved the last reserves. No problem for Pogba, who yesterday had interrupted the work ahead of time for a slight muscle overload. Alarm back for Tevez, who disposed of the after-effects of a blow to the ankle. Juve took off in the early afternoon on a rainy Turin to land in a sunny Dortmund, where tomorrow will find the support of 3,500 white fans immersed in the tide of about 62 thousand fans gialloneri. “Back in Dortmund is a pleasure: we are not playing games ever trivial or low-level – remember Gigi Buffon, the protagonist is the Westfalenstadion with Parma in 1997 with the national team in the semifinals of Mundial 2006 -. E ‘thrilling and exciting play in a temple-like. A show quite unique. The fact that the public at this stage alive with trepidation the 90 minutes of the race stimulates more people coming here, I’ve already tried always certain sensations and have a little ‘experience. ”
Allegri hides training (“I still have some doubts, I sceelto if you play with the defense of three or four”), but seems to have abandoned the idea of confirming the 3-5-2 seen in Palermo. The non-recovery of Pirlo and the intention not to inflict Barzagli the second game in the space of four days after nine months on the sidelines would convince the coach to present his 4-3-1-2 system of game more “European “. “The conditions are still good Barzagli – ensures Allegri -. In Palermo made a good game and we have recovered a great player for the season finale. Pirlo has more weapon the set piece, but Marchisio is doing a ‘ vintage extraordinary. For me it is not a surprise: Claudio is one of the best midfielders in Europe, for physical, technical and especially tactics. “
Fixed the rebus-form, training should not be surprises: Bonucci and Chiellini in protection of Buffon, the full-backs Lichtsteiner and Caceres blocked more than usual, to stem the raids Exterior offensive Germans, Marchisio in the control room, Vidal and Pogba interior, Pereyra between the lines, called to supply and Tevez but Morata also stalk Gundogan, so cut supplies to the strikers gialloneri.
