TURIN – Can the penultimate current strength of Serie A bear the brunt of the leaders of the Premier League? Yes, if you remember to be the team vice European champions. And if you find yourself a little ‘of the spirit, but also the Buonasorte, who last season led her up to the final in Berlin. To be in the running in March on all fronts, as requested by the triad Agnelli-Marotta-Allegri, the Juve must save what can be saved in this hot September, almost decisive. But the hours before the first ball of the Champions League on Tuesday at home to Manchester City that so far always victorious in the Premier League (15 points) have suffered without a shadow of a goal, they are populated by doubts and uncertainties. Already, in anticipation against Chievo because there was this “new beginning” which called Allegri. Indeed, there has been a step backward in terms of game. And Marchisio’s injury has further complicated matters.
MARCHISIO, SUSPICIOUS CONFIRMED: ANOTHER MONTH TO BOX – are unfortunately confirmed the anticipations yesterday: Marchisio will be out a month to dispose of a injury to first to second degree adductor of the right thigh, the same injured in August. Absent from the list of 21 players called for the first dance in Europe, the midfielder from Turin also will miss the big match against Sevilla and Napoli. His return is indeed fixed after the international break, hopefully in time for Inter-Juve on 18 October. Bad news for Allegri will have to do again unless his “protégé”, the player who last year, like Pereyra and Marchisio, was the workaholic of the team (52 appearances seasonal, 5 more captain Buffon). The technician can console themselves partially with the absence through injury of Aguero, the star of the Manchester City but has recovered both Silva Sterling.
FOR CASTING DIRECTOR: Hernanes O Lemina? – Without the “young Prince”, the Lady will probably have to revise his tactical plans. To replace him in the Champions League two-horse race between the wildcard Hernanes Lemina, his substitute role. It will still be difficult to keep the 4-3-1-2 with former Inter or former OM in directing and one of Cuadrado and Pereyra advanced between the lines, behind Mandzukic and Morata (or Dybala): Juve risks be too light in midfield. More likely a return to the comforting security blanket of 3-5-2, form less international and more prudent, with Lichtsteiner (Cuadrado or) and Evra in the center lane and the trio of Pereyra, Hernanes (or Lemina) and Pogba. Alternatively, Allegri could launch the so-called Christmas tree, the 4-3-2-1 with the same trio in midfield and Cuadrado and Dybala (or Morata) on the frontline, behind Mandzukic. But the form is less of a problem. The main concerns are not related so much all’assetto tactical, as to the physical condition and mental health of a team desperate for herself.
CHEERFUL OFFICE Mandzukic: “I EXPECT MUCH TO HIM” – Juventus ended in a very tough group – in addition to the City there are Sevilla and Borussia Mönchenglabach – but Allegri does not despair: “We are a difficult group but we have what it takes to do well. We will have to make the most home games, but we will try to do well at home points of the Citizens, although it will not be easy: they are candidates to win the group and the Champions League. ” Interviewed by Uefa. com, the Juventus coach bride revolution Juventus: “It was time to change.” It sounds the alarm to Mandzukic, called to tow the Bianconeri in Europe: “Mario has scored in every team he has played, so I expect great things from him. It will be the reference point for our young players.” But must also respond to the call Pogba, he also starred in a start to the season against the light: “Paul is 22 years old and has enormous growth potential – concludes Allegri -. He accepted the challenge to wear the number 10 shirt and has the qualities to do that. And ‘one of the best midfielders in circulation, but can become the best ever “.
DO NOT TRUST THE PILGRIMS:” JUVE STRONG REASONS “- ” Juve is a very strong team, reached the final last season and has won four titles in a row. ” Manuel Pellegrini warned his Manchester City. Better not to trust the crisis Juventus: “Maybe Juve are not playing well in the league but the Champions League is another competition with special reasons”. And Aguero’s injury? “I hope to have it available for the weekend – says Pellegrini -. On the other hand, David Silva and Sterling are back available. In attack I have several options: either Bony that Sterling can play up front. I have full confidence in my team. De Bruyne holder ? On Saturday, he played very well … Fernandinho and Nasri have not recovered completely, but I hope to have them in fair condition for tomorrow. ” The coach of the Chilean Citizens should deploy a 4-2-3-1 with Hart in goal, Sagna and Kolarov on the wing and Mangala Kompany in central defense, and Fernandinho Toure in midfield, Navas, Silva and De Bruyne on the frontline with Sterling offensive end.
