Juventus was reborn after the victory in the Italian classic with Inter, the first game of the season with a direct opponent that finally saw the Bianconeri triumph without blemish and fear. A 2 to 0 that overturned the famous trend that Allegri complained so much the day before and that soon came around the Nerazzurri in the classification and giving another proof of being able to start over and recover the lost ground. But there is no time to enjoy the success that is already back on the pitch because Verona are waiting for Juventus on Thursday night.
Max Allegri’s press conference is now a completely open book for anyone who wants to know the real situation of the men at their disposal. The coach, as he also did when presenting the match against Inter, does not waste time on pre-tactics or turns of phrase and immediately points to the point, saying what everyone wants to know: who will play? “There will be in the goal perin, as Szczesny has played 12 games in a row. Safe recoveries are also walls AND Kean, we’ll see how to use them. Vlahovic remains undoubted and will be evaluated today, as well as McKennie AND Church. beans? Let’s leave him alone, maybe he can play tomorrow too.”
Thus, everyone is satisfied, with clearer and less confused ideas about possible changes in the squad, which may not even exist after the good performance against Inter: 🇧🇷This victory left us a night of absolute happiness and joy.🇧🇷 continued the Juventus coach, “But we immediately turned the page. Verona is waiting for us, a physical team that plays well. They don’t deserve the classification they have, it will be up to us to play one more high-level match.”🇧🇷 You will have to win at Bentegodi enjoying the last two pre-World Cup games, the one in Verona and then the greetings to 2022 at the Allianz Stadium against Lazio on 13 November.
But for that, Juventus will have to change once again the trend that has accompanied them until now, where they have won very little: 6 games, only 8 points, but above all the lack of 3 goals scored. A misery, in the face of which Allegri remembers the words of those who – at Juventus, but also throughout his career – knew not only to score, but also to sacrifice himself for the team and aim for a single shared goal, victory. This is Dario Mandzukic who, on the eve of the match against Inter, had launched words of love and affection for his former teammates: “If Napoli continues like this it’s difficult, we have to take it one step at a time and Mandzukic said something that needs to be carved into the walls”🇧🇷
But what did the former Croatian striker say that was so significant that he wore the black and white for 4 seasons with 118 games and 31 goals to his credit? 🇧🇷There are so many ways to help the team and Juve’s success is the only thing that matters“, he said in an interview with the Gazzetta. “If you run, if you jump, if you win duels, if you show your determination to your rivals, if you make good decisions, if you create opportunities, if you follow the coach’s game plan… it all contributes to victory.” Words that obviously also hit Max Allegri and that have a direct addressee, namely Dusan Vlahovic. “Dusa” Mandzukic pointed out, “He has already shown that he is a good number 9 and now it is up to him to make it clear that he is of world value. I can only tell him how I lived the matches: I wasn’t thinking about scoring goals, but how to conquer them.”
The same message that Allegri wanted to reiterate indirectly in a press conference, urging the Serbian forward, who has been in trouble for some time due to groin problems and so far is the author of a more than anonymous season with only 6 goals in the league. Who will have to find the strength to recover, possibly recording Mandzukic’s words in the Juventus dressing room, in his own locker.
