THE CONFERENCE OF ALLEGRI
Good morning coach, do you have clear ideas about tomorrow’s team or are there still some doubts?
“No, I don’t have clear ideas because I have to see the conditions of the players. We have recovered Bonucci, but Danilo doesn’t feel safe. Tomorrow he plays Perin in goal, because Szczesny was vaccinated last and will arrive at the stadium at the last minute. And I am happy that Perin plays, he deserves it. Instead, I was surprised by the opinions on Rugani after the Olimpico match, because he was among the best in Rome. I must also evaluate Dybala who had not played so much for a long time. from a direct match as hard as the one in Rome. Tomorrow we will play against the strongest in the league and it will be a beautiful match. Any result that comes out must not affect our path. We have to work and play with enthusiasm “.
Have you talked to Chiesa? What did he say to the boy?
“I talked to him after the match and yesterday morning: I’m sorry for him and for Italian football. These things happen and he must be calm. To overcome this lack we must all do something more.”
THE CHIELLINI CONFERENCE
Hello Chiellini, after the comeback in Rome how do you get to this final?
“We need to have balance on our path, Sunday’s victory gives an important boost of adrenaline but we must not let ourselves be overwhelmed. Mentally we weren’t good at having continuity this season, but this is a final. We play the title with great humility, we know we meet a great team but we can play it because we have done so many, both won and lost even when we were favorites. We know that Inter are very strong, they are doing well, it is logical that they are the favorite team. There may be, however, that if in the long run you have to chase in the one-off match it will not happen. On the one-off game they are beatable ”.
What should you not underestimate about Inter?
“Inter are a physical and technical team, we will have to be careful and concentrated. We are fine, we are almost all available except Federico (Chiesa, ed). I know what it means because I experienced an injury like this, but he is a good player. This is a good blow for all Italian football. However, I make an appeal for the regulation: it makes no sense that anyone who is booked or sent off in the league should miss a final. something. Let’s change this because in a final there must be the best. It is not right that De Ligt and Cuadrado have to serve the Super Cup disqualification. I have been saying this for some time, something should be done “.
How are you physically, are you ready to take the field from the start?
“I’m fine, I had the Christmas holidays as troubled as half the Italians because of Covid. Luckily we are fine, I also had the opportunity to train consistently in the last few days. We are not starting favorites like last year with Atalanta,” but the episodes can change the predictions. It is a pity that not all the spectators are in that beautiful stadium, we have to adapt to the situation. Priority to public health “.
How does it change, what is different about preparing a final as an underdog?
“We were already talking about it last May for the final of the Italian Cup against Atalanta where for the most part we were not favorites. Clearly with Inter, all the more so, but anything can happen in a one-off match. But paradoxically it can happen. more attention to show that they can also play with those who won the championship last year and will probably win it again this year “.
You have been through it: what suggestions did you give to Chiesa?
“We talked straight away, we immediately realized the gravity. We were close to him as big brothers, in the first days everything is very strange. The worst comes when you are about to return, adapting to the changes in your body is not so simple” .
Did you expect such a strong Inter and so much suffering in Juve?
“Ask Bastoni what I thought about Inter in October, I told him that only they could lose the league. As a squad and various situations are complete, it doesn’t surprise me. Losing Ronaldo was an important thing for us, at times it hid problems. . When he always scores it becomes easier not to see those problems that so many teams have. I expected a year of effort, we are the team of last year with Locatelli and Kean more and Cristiano less. But there is the awareness that with the work the results can be achieved “.
