“We face an angry Sassuolo, the Coppa Italia is our goal. In the championship our race is on Atalanta”
Back from home success against the Verona, stamped by the two newcomers Vlahovic and Zakaria, the Alleg it starts from Italian Cup and from the challenge against the Sassuolo. It goes towards a reasoned turnover. “Bonucci comes back and will play from the beginning like Perin – explained the bianconero technician -. Cuadrado will also be the owner. In front then I’ll see if I can play Kaio J in the Trident”. “The euphoria returned to the stars after Verona – he added -. A little enthusiasm is fine, but too much is not“. “We will play against an angry Sassuolo and we will need a great game that could then also serve us for the direct clash with Atalanta – continued Allegri -. In the league we play with the Dea“.

THE WORDS OF ALLEGRI
The moment of the team
“The team is fine. Everyone is there except Chiellini, who is out, and Bernardeschi, who will return with the team only on Friday. Bonucci will return, who will play tomorrow and then we will see how to manage it since he has been stopped two months. Kean is disqualified”
Sassuolo Obstacle
“Tomorrow we play a Coppa Italia quarter-final and it is one of the goals we have since the beginning of the season. We play against an angry Sassuolo, we will have to make a very serious game, it would help us for the direct clash against Atalanta”
Enthusiasm after the market
“The euphoria is back to the stars after Verona, the enthusiasm is good but not too much. We have to work: the goal is to reach one of the top four places in the league, as well as to move forward as much as possible in the cups. If you want to dream it’s fine, but I don’t like it so much. At this moment the three teams in front are far away, given that Inter is potentially 11 points. We are behind, our league is to play against Atalanta from here until the end of the season”
The Trident Vlahovic-d Mor
“I have to assess who will play, it may be that one between Morata and DB The changes will be important, also because the race could last 120 minutes. The boys are fine but we have to make this moment last as long as possible until the end of the season. We need to get back to the normality of Theuv With Verona it was a very complicated game, made up of many duels and with Atalanta the situation will be the same. In the front three can also play Kean from outside left, the important thing is to play as a team, with great compactness. We are in the second half of the season and personal goals must be put aside, we need to put ourselves at the service of the team, we can no longer make mistakes. It will be four intense months, beautiful to live”
Training
“Perin will go to the goal. On the formation, in addition to Bonucci, I have not yet decided. Zakaria is fine, she took a hit, but I have a moment to assess who will start from the beginning. I think Cuadrado plays tomorrow, he can give his hand in various areas, it is very important”
Kaioor
“I’m very happy with him. In January he had the opportunity to go and play, in Sassuolo, however, but he chose to stay. He is a centre forward, a young boy and tomorrow he will play. I have yet to decide whether from the start or at the current race. Everyone at the J
The importance of Cuadrado
“He’s always been the balance of the team. With the exit of Kulusevski and depending on who the right-back is, he can give us a hand in the construction by doing the fourth, doing the fifth, doing the attacking third. He is such an important player that, after recovering by skipping Verona, tomorrow night he will be the owner”
Head already at Atalanta?
From what I have been able to understand since these years that I train, the most important race is the next one, the closest one. Tomorrow we will put the best lineup, at the end we will draw a line and see who will be available for Atalanta. Tomorrow is a goal, we have to get to the semi-finals.”
Italian Cup and “unsportsmanlike”formula
“I respect MaurizioSarri, he is a great coach and I respect what he says, but they are not things that concern me. I always say that when they tell me to play, I go there. I don’t want to make the regulations, tomorrow we play with Sassuolo and there is a semi-final at stake”
Arthur’s position
“After the transfer of Bentancur, Zakaria arrived, who is a good player. Arthur is growing well, on Sunday he had a beautiful game, he ran less behind the ball. He needs to handle himself more and he had a good game. It has extraordinary technical qualities. They can play Arthur and Locatelli, even with Zakaria. Choosing is not easy, matches become important… better that way”
The youth sector
“Theuv Uventus has worked well with the youth sector, more ready players arrive in the first team and in the spring there are younger players. Beans, Deinter They are all good players, the Under 23 form more than in the spring”
Morata
“Alvaro is an important player, with important technical qualities. He played the first four months behind the door, but it is not his best feature. He becomes devastating in spaces. When he does the things he knows how to do, he becomes very good, but this is nothing new. Alvaro I’ve known him for 19 years.
Rabiot
“He is a player who has been raised as if he were a player of great technical qualities, a number 10, but he is a player of great quantity who also puts quality plays in it. He has a terrible physical power, even on Sunday he played a very important game. But if he is rated as a quality player and if you expect 10 goals, it is a problem. He must be evaluated for his own characteristics, for the things he knows how to do, not for what he does not know how to do”
