Champions League – Monaco-Juve, Allegri dusts off the three-man defense – Yahoo Eurosport UK

The date with destiny for Juventus is almost upon us. Wednesday evening the Bianconeri will play the passage in the semifinals with the challenge of Monaco nell’infuocata Louis II. After three failed attempts – the last against the invincible Bayern Monaco Jupp Heynckes – the Old Lady has the delicious chance of a place among the best four teams of the continental scene. It would be the first time since the 2002-2003 season, when Juventus scoops the Camp Nou thanks to a goal in extra time of Zalayeta. Immediately clean the area by doubts, the 1-0 acquired at the Juventus Stadium last week is an advantage reassuring yes, but also “cursed” on the floor of the cabal. Already, Juventus will also play against the numbers.

STATISTICS DAMNED TO DELETE – In four occasions (eight total) Juventus was eliminated from competition in the Uefa rounds knockout when he lost the first leg 1-0 at home with the result. Bianconeri always at home in the last three times that came out this result: the semifinals of the Champions League 1977-1978 (Juventus 1-0-Bruges, Bruges Juventus 2-0 aet), sixteenths European Cup 1978-1979 (Juventus- Rangers 1-0, Rangers-Juventus 2-0) and the first knockout round of the UEFA Cup 1999-2000 (Juventus-Celta 1-0, Celta-Juventus 0-4). Considering that Juventus has qualified 31 times out of 39 in UEFA competition after winning the first leg at home, given the 1-0 takes on the shape of the spell to be broken at all costs.

BLACKBOARD TACTICS, CHEERFUL POINT ON DEFENSE THREE – Against Monaco probably meet again Juventus with the 3-5-2 formation that already laid down the law to the Westfalen Stadion in Dortmund. Yes, because after the injury in the first half of the race of Paul Pogba Allegri into the fray Andrea Barzagli going from 4-3-1-2 to 3-5-2: already ahead 1-0 by virtue of the bolt of Carlos Tevez Juventus increased the score burying the pale version of gialloneri Klopp. Bianconeri therefore compact behind and ready to attack the opponent in the restart. The ideal tactic might just be to draw out the Monaco team unaccustomed to manage the pace of the game and impose their game, then hit cold. Allegri’s team will have to overcome the likely absence of Vidal; in this case will Marchisio and Pereyra squires director Andrea Pirlo; moreover Juventus have been shown to have a deep pink with a wide range of choices available to Allegri.

MONACO, EVERYTHING ON THE CHAMPIONS – Not even the opportunity to remove the Marseille in the standings and shorten the summit has persuaded Leonardo Jardim: massive turnover against Rennes last commitment championship (Kondogbia, Martial, Kurzawa, Dirar and Carvalho out dall’undici holder) and disappointing 1-1 of Monaco. Some doubt last minute training for the Portuguese coach: we will do everything to recover the lighthouse Toulalan in midfield, while the center dell’attacca Dimitar Berbatov forward his candidacy for a starting spot; in that case would be sacrificed illustrious Martial. Serve, the red and white, an exploit in style Emirates Stadium to overturn the result forward. Four deletions and two qualifiers after losing 1-0 to the team of the Principality. The last European season, in 2005/06, was completed in sixteenths of UEFA Cup after losing 1-0 at Basel and drew 1-1 at home.
