It is a big big challenge which awaits the men of Massimiliano Allegri this Sunday evening from 8:45 pm Juventus Turin receives AC Milan within the framework of the fourth day of Serie A, with as main objective to surf the positive wave and the success acquired Tuesday evening in the Champions League on the ground of Malmö.
Our Bianconeri are eagerly awaited in a few hours to take up a new challenge, and what a challenge! Today sixteenth in Serie A with only one small point in three games, Juventus must finally begin its ascent and definitively launch its season in the league. Faced with an AC Milan in great shape and who remains on three consecutive victories since the start of the season, it will be necessary to achieve a great performance to obtain a positive result at the final whistle. The Rossoneri do not come to Piedmont to make up the numbers and they intend to come back up to Inter Milan and AS Roma who are leading the championship.
Coached by Stefano Pioli, the Lombards will have to do without several important elements of their squad. Indeed, the French Olivier Giroud hit in the back, but also and especially the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic are forfeited for this meeting. In addition to the two offensive players, Tiémoué Bakayoko, Messias, Krunic and Davide Calabria will not be on the trip either. Even without these few names, Milan intend to play a nasty trick on Juventus and draw inspiration from the last confrontation between the two clubs. A few months ago, Pioli and his men gave us a football lesson with an easy 3-0 victory, putting an end to the podium hopes for the Turinese once and for all. That evening, the partners of the very talented Croatian Ante Rebic had come to strike a blow. This Sunday, even without Cristiano Ronaldo gone to the transfer window, Juventini owe us today a revenge and the Tifosi hope more than anything to be able to wash away this affront against a historic rival in the championship.
Allegri bets on a 4-4-2 with Chiellini and Morata to start
For Juventus Turin, it will be necessary to be very aggressive and not to make major mistakes, under the pretext of being quickly punished by a team which remains on a defeat 3 goals to 2 in the Champions League on the lawn of the Reds of Liverpool. this week. To create the sensation of the day, Massimiliano Allegri should prioritize defensive stability. This is why he is moving towards a 4-4-2 system with the tenure of Giorgio Chiellini instead of Leonardo Bonucci. In the midfield, the transalpine coach could most certainly bet on a midfield at 4 with the new tenure of Manuel Locatelli alongside Rodrigo Bentancur.
Great architect of victory in Sweden on Tuesday evening, the Morata – Dybala duo will be renewed with the main objective of putting the Milan defense in difficulty, which could be composed by Tomori, Kjaer, Romagnoli and Theo Hernandez. Juan Cuadrado is also set to start as a right winger. The Colombian will be expected at the turn, after a very good start to the season. On the other side, on the left Allegri would bet more on the French Adrien Rabiot, who evolved in this position during the last European match. Whatever happens and whatever the composition of Turin, the attitude will be very important and scrutinized by the football world. In addition to a good result, we expect to find a conquering Juve and players who clearly wet the shirt to represent Juventus in the most dignified way possible. The challenge is great but Juve is a great club and they are cut out for this kind of challenge …
