Possible alternation in attack also between Vlahovic and Kean. Miretti also returns to the median from the injury. Paredes midfielder hypothesis
Against Roma it will be a direct match for the Champions League area. Juve knows it, they are aware of it: and in understanding all the pitfalls that the away match at the Olimpico evidently hides, they seem willing to leverage their ambitions at this moment of the season which could prove to be decisive for next year. Allegri keeps the focus of his players on the points won on the field, which are 50. But the fourth place that Lazio occupies today (with one point more than Roma) is ten points behind with all the delay imposed by the -15 penalty. In short, while waiting for the club’s legal action to take its natural course under the lens of Coni, a strong, very strong signal could come from the field.
WHO IS THERE
—
That’s why we needed the best Juve against Roma. Where there will also be Dybala, the former Juventus ten who will inevitably want to show off against the team he has loved for seven long years. Pogba is available, like Kostic and Cuadrado: after a day in the gym they returned to work regularly with the team. Like Miretti, to be considered fully recovered. The idea of Paredes as a midfielder (he was tried out there during yesterday’s open-door training) could be expendable: the Argentine, among other things, is a former Giallorossi, as is Szczesny who will be on the pitch regularly. After missing the derby due to disqualification, Locatelli is ready to take control again. While Rabiot, immovable, could also shorten the ninety minutes a bit in view of Freiburg, having played 1,800 in the last 40 days.
RELAYS
—
Possible forward relay between Di Maria and Chiesa and perhaps also between Kean and Vlahovic: Allegri will dissolve the reserves in the next few hours, but surprises cannot be excluded. Among other things, the presence of De Sciglio on the right could bring back some ideas from the (perfect) match plan in Nantes, where everything went from the defensive solidity of the three to protect the goal. Bonucci is available and has only played a few minutes in the last two matches: he is a candidate for a jersey, but it is not yet so certain that Allegri wants to break down the Brazilian wall which in recent weeks has given ample guarantees and transmitted serenity. It being understood that the changes in this circumstance will be more decisive than in other occasions. And the calendar still requires making targeted choices on mini-cycles of matches to keep the balance intact and not upset everything every three days.
