TORINO – “We do not go to Berlin to make the sacrifices,” assures Massimiliano Allegri, echoing a mantra Most Popular by Juventus in the long eve of the Champions League final. “We have a fifty percent chance of winning,” shearing Claudio Marchisio, without fear reverential towards Barcelona. There is a very positive aura around the Juve. The most popular words are “serenity” and “awareness”, “simplicity” and “peace”. All very well and good, provided that the self-esteem does not overflows in presumption.
Allegri, beaten and ready smile, has dispensed lightness (“I’m having a lot to prepare for this game”), asking her to have “much adrenaline and few thoughts. ” It dispensed great tranquility and optimism, convinced that David can gamble on par with Goliath: “How do you beat Barcelona? You just play well, do two or three things right. They have great quality but we do have the same number. We work a lot and We think little. The episodes will be decisive. In Madrid we have faced against the European champions in office, but to win this final must do much better. ” The coach, at least in words, he tried to clear the stage fright of her: “It ‘s normal in the final deal with the best players in the world. When I saw the goals of Messi Athletic Bilbao in the final of Copa del Rey Yes, but Messi also scored the best goals. We must be ready and good. mark him man is virtually impossible. But Neymar also have great qualities, and especially Suraez Iniesta “.
The former do not seem interest him all that much, “I have already stopped the Blaugrana against Milan? It ‘s true, but it was a Barça a little’ different. Messi and Neymar have unique qualities to the world. Juve have lost the last Champions League final on penalties ( against AC Milan in 2003, editor’s note) and won the penultimate always on penalties (against Ajax in 1996, editor’s note)? We are obviously practicing well from the spot, though hardly this match will end on penalties. How many there are similarities with the Berlin’s final Mundial 2006? I understand after the challenge. “The desire to
treble you hear, you see, you touch:” This has been a season almost unique, will remain in the history of Juventus. Let’s be good and lucky to finish it in the best way. “
It ‘started with a workout exhaust the march towards the Champions League final on 6 June in Berlin. Stretching, running and bull with the ball finals of the Olympiastadion, which ended the first half hour of work in open court, under the gaze of the two hundred journalists accredited to the Media Day organized by Juventus and UEFA.
Work still differentiated by the injured Barzagli. Among Tomorrow and Wednesday is expected a new medical response: there is a reasonable hope of being able to convene. That said, Allegri is still oriented to deploy the 4-3-1-2. It has already decided the formation: Buffon in goal, Lichtsteiner Evra and external, Bonucci and Chiellini central-Pirlo-Marchisio Pogba in midfield, with Vidal behind Morata and Tevez. Few doubt also on the seven to take the bench: Storari, Ogbonna (or Barzagli), Padoin, Sturaro, Pereyra, Llorente and Matri.
The march on Berlin provides for Tuesday and Wednesday two workouts quite intense, useful to put some ‘of petrol in the legs. Thursday and Friday will start instead the “glide” towards the Olympic Stadium, with two sessions lighter, based mainly on tactical anti-Barça. “We will not do two workouts a day or even two or three hours of video analysis – explains Allegri -. This game, I insist, it is to be prepared with such simplicity and tranquility.” The main task of the coach will find the true Pogba, struggling with a small crisis of growth and identity. The first real injury of his career has probably undermined some certainty and triggered some inhibitions: in the last appearances Octopus appeared distracted and vague, quite far from his usual high standards. The technician pungolerà, to stop and start again in gigioneggiare giganteggiare.
The departure for Germany is scheduled for the morning of Christmas Eve: Allegri wanted to drive in Vinovo also the last training session, starting for Germany as late possible, repeating what he has done before every European away. But UEFA has imposed its strict protocol. So much also of luck Juventus.
The concepts of Allegri made quick setting of Claudio Marchisio, he also engaged in preaching “peace and understanding”. The legs do not tremble in front of Messi and company: “The trident Blaugrana scored 120 goals, I believe it is the record of Spain, but we are a great team with a lot of heart and character. I do not feel afraid but satisfaction, because early in the season no one would have bet on us. ” The midfielder from Turin rewinds the tape when he was a young man in the Juventus nursery instructed to shake the fabric of Champions in midfield: “I always dreamed of living the moment with the shirt of Juve – continues Marchisio -. I was lucky enough to see as a spectator the final won by Juventus in 1996. In Berlin we giocarcela in the most peaceful way until the end. ” Juve will focus on hunger and Tevez on the class of Pirlo, two champions who know very well how to win the Cup more important: “Carlos gave us quantum leap – said the prince -. It is immediately put at the disposal of the team , becoming a staple, a column important. For us Tevez is crucial, and we hope that it is on Saturday. As for Andrea, with Xavi is the top in his role, a great professional with a punishment that can solve the games in any moment “.
