Italian Cup, the Allianz Stadium from 20.45 the Juventus-Rome challenge, hunting in the semifinal. In Turin, the leaders face the Giallorossi of Fonseca, with Ronaldo on the pitch being always a big match.
Ten days after the championship match, Juventus are still against Rome, this time the Italian Cup semifinal is at stake. A paradoxically more insidious game for Sarri's team than that in the league, despite playing in the impregnable blockhouse of the Allianz Stadium, still untouched this season. "It is enough to see the results of Roma away, marks how at home, however, suffers half - points out the Juventus coach -. It will be a difficult match against an excellent team with characteristics that can make the match very delicate". Despite the absence of the Bosnian champion Dzeko, disqualified and replaced by Kalinic, there will be suffering, warns Sarri: "Thinking not to suffer with Roma means having lost sight of reality, the Giallorossi also made Barcelona suffer. In we came out of a difficult game with three points, but, as I said, Roma are stronger away than at home. They will not have Dzeko, a difficult player to replace, but Kalinic even if he may have had moments of difficulty has very important numbers and deserves consideration. "
Fonseca: Rome tired but we can beat Juve - tired in the legs but mentally charged and willing to dispel a taboo that begins to weigh. The Roma that will face Juventus in the Italian Cup quarter-finals will take the field to pass the round and finally hit a success in the new Juventus stadium. In fact, since the Old Lady moved to the Stadium, the Giallorossi have only let down disappointments: nine games played and nine games lost, with a total of 21 goals conceded and only three scored. But as the old saying goes, there is always a first time that Paulo Fonseca hopes to coincide with tonight's commitment. "For me, the games already played are not important, the important thing is to play with ambition, desire to win and confidence to change this trend in recent years - explains the Portuguese coach on the eve -. We know it will be a difficult game, against a great one team that is having a good time. I think we played a good game against them. We can think of winning. " As long as you don't fall into the same mistake you made in the recent championship match, with Juventus corsair at the Olimpico 2-1 by virtue of a start by the Giallorossi with the handbrake pulled (advantage of Demiral on the 3 ', doubling of Ronaldo from disk at 10 ').
