The temptation is there. And it’s called a trident. The alternative is actually the first choice, at least for now: the 3-5-2 with one more midfielder (Nicolò Fagioli) and one star less (Angel Di Maria or Federico Chiesa). Max Allegri’s reflections on the eve all revolve around this tactical choice, the doubt will only be resolved on Sunday. Meanwhile, the front-wheel drive 3-4-3 was tested again at Continassa, a choice that must not deceive as to which Juve will then take the field from the first minute: the trident is the one that must be tried and tried again, to find new balances that on the contrary, the other arrangement now guarantees and does not require particular general rehearsals on the eve. “The trident? I don’t know, we practiced this morning, tomorrow morning I’ll decide who to play. It will be a long game, then we have another one. They can play together but I don’t know if it will be the right day against Fiorentina”, so Allegri about it. Assuring that it is not a matter of balance, if anything of understanding to be found in the double phase. With one certainty: trident yes, provided that everyone gives everything. “Module change for the trident? You can play both four and three behind. It’s a question that, to play all together, we all need to help each other. And everyone has given ample availability”.
THE PROBABLE FORMATION – Juve with the trident would therefore be like this.
