Juve manager Max Allegri spoke today ahead of tomorrow’s showdown at the Olimpico with Roma. These are his words:
“Roma need to qualify for the Champions League and we need to win the Scudetto, so there’s added pressure to what’s already a tough fixture. I’ve told the guys that if they want to start their holidays a week early, then they need to get a result tomorrow. The formation? Higuain and Dybala will start in attack tomorrow. Pipita was on the bench for the Coppa Italia final, but that match might have lasted 120 minutes, in which case fresh legs would have been needed. Tomorrow will be great match in a special setting against a team that has enjoyed a great Champions League campaign, who are physically strong and very well drilled by Di Francesco. Nobody expected them to make the Champions League semi-finals. Di Francesco is one of the best young managers currently.”
