At the hunting enterprise, difficult but not impossible, indeed. Nothing seems impossible for this Juventus , which goes to Tuscany to deal with the Fiorentina , trying to overturn a 2-1 first-leg at home, surprisingly, at the Stadium. The goal is to reach the winner of Napoli-Lazio in the final, because the Italian Cup is a goal for everyone: for the Bianconeri, still competing on three fronts, they want to win a trophy missing since 1995; for Fiorentina, who after the defeat in the final of last year want to take revenge, and maybe take home a cup important, as well as the Europa League. In short, the ingredients to see a good game definitely not lacking.
It starts, as told by the Fiorentina won 2-1 away: you decide it was a brace from Mohamed Salah , new cover man on the team, interspersed by the momentary balance of Fernando Llorente, useless result at the end of the match. Perhaps the worst of the season Juve, put in difficulty by the solidity and above all by the desire of purple. These highlights of the challenge:
THE BACKGROUND – Will the meeting number 171 between Juventus and Fiorentina, with favorable balance to Juventus in the previous 170: 76 wins to 38, with 56 draws. If we consider only the Italian Cup, the teams met 13 times, including the challenge of going this time are the purple being the lead with 6 wins to 3, and 4 were draws. In Florence, however, has never left the sign “2″ in the previous seven meetings, because the hosts won in 4 occasions and equalized in 3: the last two previous, dating from 1998 to 2005, have been completed both 2-2 . So many goals scored, as many as 24 in the overall challenges in Tuscany.
HERE FIORENTINA – The Viola through a golden, topped only by some uncertainty, like that suffered by Lazio 4-0 just under a month ago. For the rest, however, the roller gear is really scary: he lost only once in the last 12 days of Serie A (six wins, four draws), and if we include the races of the Italian Cup and Europa League go up to one defeat in the last 19 races, and in the last 11 at home has always gone into the goal. The team Montella , in addition to having proven international than ever, given that 13 of the 17 seasonal markers (absolute record in A) are not Italian. Many of these came from the bench, took over as many as 7 players who were on target. Indeed, Fiorentina is perhaps the team with the pink longer than this Serie A, as in fact can count on more than 20 possible owners. And the results are good, as it is in the running to win the Italian Cup and Europa League and dreams of a place in the Champions League.
HERE JUVENTUS – For the Bianconeri would not be enough even a victory Measuring 1-0 to land in the final, and then Merry is calling upon the group, not to leave anything to chance. Training also at Easter, therefore, with good news: Claudio Marchisio is back in the group and will already be available for the challenge. Despite the early return, Allegri could not risk him from the first minute, giving confidence to midfield that evil did against Empoli. Do not care about the conditions for the Vidal , released prematurely against the Tuscans for a knock to his right ankle. While the team took the field for training, Max Allegri took advantage of the Organ Day holiday to wish a Happy Easter to all the people and not Juventus, also commenting on the win over Empoli: “ One more step towards our goal, against an organized team. Now under the Italian Cup, because #iocicredo! “. “ To all sportsmen a peaceful Easter: enjoy free Sunday, which then returns to play and cheer! .”
THE KEY TACTICS – Speaking of tactics in games like these is difficult, because to be decisive will be samples: one for all, Carlos Tevez , the fittest man in the Bianconeri, the player who is moving the more ‘ balance. Also Saturday night in the home match against Empoli was he who put a hand in two goals, for the umpteenth time. Joining him will be crucial also Pereyra , were to play between the lines or in the median and the Argentinian is proving capable of great things, especially in the entry, even if it has to perfect the implementation phase. A Juventus assault against a Fiorentina ready to go, and the arrows of the bow Montella not lacking. The deadliest might still be Salah , which already in the first leg held in check the Juventus defense with his speed, although the most important role will be to Mario Gomez : the former Bayern Monaco will keep up the team with his skills as a protection of the ball.
THE PROBABLE FORMATIONS – Montella, strong leg result, will not have to available to the suspended Badelj, in addition to long-term patients Rossi, Bernardeschi and Tatarusanu. In all likelihood there will be directed Aquilani, as even Pizarro will be out. It will be 4-3-3, with front Joaquin favorite of Diamonds to assist Gomez and Salah. Together with Roman, in the median, will act Borja Valero and Mati Fernandez, with the defense formed by Richards and Alonso (favorite of Paaqual, not 100%) on the wing and the central pair argentina with Rodriguez and Basanta. In goal, of course, Neto.
(4-3-3) Neto; Richards, Basanta, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Alonso; Borja Valero, Pizarro, Mati Fernandez; Joaquin Gomez, Salah.
Defense four for Allegri, as confirmed in a press conference by the same technician Livorno. You can believe it? Likely, because even Barzagli is playing a lot and has just returned. So, in the back four in front of Storari, goalkeeper of the cup, there will Bonucci and Chiellini, with Lichtsteiner and Evra on the flanks. Rebus from midfield on: Marchisio, as mentioned, is recovered and could play, but Allegri is not safe to risk him from the first minute. The most plausible solution is 4-3-3, with Vidal and Pereyra from internal and director one of Marchisio and Padoin, already tried in the match against Empoli. Could be set so Pepe front, with Morata (or Llorente?) And Tevez. Caution however hypothesis 4-3-1-2, since the number 7 could also play inside. Remain many doubts.
(4-3-3) Storari; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Pereyra, Marchisio, Vidal; Pepe, Morata, Tevez.
WORDS OF EVE – Montella prepares his, especially mentally, for the match. In his press conference said the challenge: “ will be an open game and very difficult, unfortunately, there is also the return to play. Juventus is strong and has a winning mentality. They will be highly competitive, we know that everything is open . We will have to make a smart race interpreting well the various phases of the game. Allegri is good, there is mutual respect. He believes it? I believe it too, we know that the public will stand us in a close race very important. We will not make calculations, we are not capable of. We have a small advantage, but has very little . “In attack we will therefore Gomez and Salah:” Mario participates much more to the game, the team recognizes having a striker with the characteristics as his. Or like those of Babacar and Gilardino. (Rossi) There is training in the group and I am not going to go do it so soon. Maybe it is not so and I are organizing a surprise inside the Easter egg. Mohamed Lives everything with normality and disenchantment, respects our way of making football a little ‘how did Cuadrado. For playing field toward Allegri say something about training. David has never trained with the group, its use is unlikely. Savic is better, yesterday he trained very well, can play holder . “
Even Massimiliano Merry has lectured in his press conference:” We try to overturn the negative result of the progress, we have the opportunity to do so, even if they are the favorites, they score on their side and are getting good results. We will have to play a game intelligent, against a technical team, we should not think of resolve it in half an hour. Serve attention and ability to stay in the game for 100 minutes. The goal is important for both the teams. We should not have anxiety or hurry, we can also mark 10 by the end. We did not wrong the game to ‘Forward, We made a serious mistake on our corner, Salah took advantage, and we do not for a meter forward we have made 100 back. Serves patience, we must take our chances. Salah proved to be a good buy, Fiorentina have benefited greatly from his arrival “. But, with regard to the players: “ Marchisio is well, he returned to the group, stay 4-5 days outside the team did well, now it’s available, I will assess whether to play him or not. Pirlo from the day after fall in the group, then we will evaluate his physical condition. It is important to have it available, even if not at the top has the qualities to play big games . “
