Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke this Wednesday regarding the quarter-final of the Italian Cup. He speaks before the reception of the promoted Frosinone this Thursday evening from 9 p.m.
A word about this match
“Tomorrow is a simple match. Against a team that plays and is carefree, it is a unique opportunity for them to reach the semi-final and beat Juventus. For us, the Italian Cup is a goal, reach the semi-final and two more matches, and a serious match must be played and with the right head and great respect. Frosinone scores goals in every match and always creates dangers. With Salernitana, a technical error, but Genoa , Frosinone the same. It’s not conceding goals, it sticks, it’s impossible not to take them throughout the championship, but you have to take them in a certain way, not the way we have them taken.
Physically, we are definitely better, the team increases the intensity phase a lot in the last part of the match. This is not an offensive or defensive question. With the ball, we have to do well in the proactive phase, when we don’t have “We have to defend well. If you haven’t scored a goal in a while, it’s normal for your immune defenses to drop. You have to pick up, otherwise we get used to scoring like in the last four matches.”
Do you feel pressure to win?
“The pressure is always there at Juventus, you work for maximum results. An important journey has begun, Juventus dominated for 10 years in Italy. They got results, let’s say, but there are also the others. Then, we come from two years where the team has changed a lot, but that does not mean that we should not have the ambition to work to do the best. Now let’s think about the Italian Cup, a victory we would take us to the semi-final and then we will dive back into the championship.”
A necessarily important match for the rest of the season
“Not to remove any of them. But in football, there are challenges every day, especially with the Champions League, we live for it and we work for it. This year, I really miss not playing the Champions League. In 8 years, there have been a lot of good matches. “We have played a lot of important matches. There is no point in staying here to remember. I remember them all with pleasure, even the worst like in Genoa where after 20 minutes we were down 3-0.”
This will be your 400th match with Juventus, what is your reaction?
“I am very happy and to have joined two sacred monsters of Italian football like Trapattoni and Lippi, whom I had as coach at Cagliari, and Lippi to whom I am emotionally attached, is a great honor for me. Tomorrow, the most important thing is ‘is to win and reach the semi-finals.
“I’m happy to be older in terms of football, when I arrived I didn’t think I’d spend eight years at Juventus. I’ve been at Juventus since 2014 and it’s a source of pride, it’s something something I like. Tomorrow, there is a semi-final to reach. Here, I learned that you always have to see what happens a minute later and not a minute before.”
How are Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic going?
“He wasn’t even called up. Today his knee is better, there’s nothing to worry about and if everyone continues on Tuesday he will be there. Cambiaso is fine. Away we have Chiesa, Rabiot, De Sciglio who is doing personal work. Vlahovic has lost the fever. Tomorrow I will decide who to play between Milik-Vlahovic, Vlahovic-Milik, Yildiz-Vlahovic. We have been working on this for the last few days. Just be attentive and be less lazy in the defensive phase. We conceded goals too easily, the boys know that and we have worked on that.”
Who will play tomorrow?
“For Danilo I haven’t decided yet, Gatti and Bremer will play and let’s see who between Danilo and Rugani. Perin will play in goal and Locatelli will return. Rabiot should be available on Tuesday, but I think there are excellent chances. He will not be available tomorrow. He is undergoing a rehabilitation program, but the boy is calm. For Iling-Junior and Cambiaso, it is unlikely, because Cambiaso comes from the flu and Iling can be a good replacement. L “The important thing is that everyone is doing well because the substitutions were also decisive in Salerno.”
Will Moise Kean leave?
“I’m not talking about the transfer market, the managers will take care of that. I’m absolutely not the one who can say the best destination for Kean, at the moment he’s a Juventus player and I’m happy with what he’s doing. is. done here so far.”
