Juve: attack and changes, Sarri meditates on mistakes

For Maurizio Sarri the Coppa Italia final is an opportunity to win the first trophy in Italy, in professional football, a year after the conquest of the Europa League at the helm of Chelsea, 4-1 on Arsenal in the all-London final played in Baku. In the palmares of the technician born in Naples but raised in Figline Valdarno, among the Italian titles there is currently only the Serie D Italian Cup, won in 2013 on the Sansovino bench. club of Monte San Savino (Arezzo). Then, of course, also five promotions, the last with Empoli, brought to Serie A in 2014. But now the assault of the first Juventus manager title goes.
    He began preparing for the final today, between training on the field at Continassa, "unloading" for those who played the Italian Cup semifinal, team work for others, and analysis of yesterday's game, the 0-0 against Milan in ten, with a very strong start and an inevitable - after the long competitive break - drop to the distance. Sarri meditated on the formula with Cristiano Ronaldo center-forward, who did not give great results, and the triple change that ended up revitalizing Milan. "Cristiano always makes himself available," said the Juventus coach, making it clear that the formula will hardly be repeated. "It was very unfortunate because it's easy to say wrong penalty, but the ball hit the inner post and went out. Since Ronaldo is infallible from 11 meters, he ended up suffering that missed goal".
    On the 'American' change of three players at the same time, Sarri's self-criticism is total: "I was wrong, I got carried away, but replacing three players en masse compromised the balance of the game and there is it took some time to find it. "
    Juventus, however, starts from "those 30 'minutes, at the beginning of the game, the best of the season", in Sarri's judgment. A positive surprise served to dissolve part of the doubts that the recovery after a three-month stop had left.
    For the final of 17 June in Rome, it would be very convenient for Sarri to get Higuain back, not even among those called up yesterday for the aftermath of a muscle ache. On the account of the Argentine attacker, the last with Rabiot to return to Turin after the end of the lockdown, attacks on social media have been unleashed today: in the viewfinder the images disseminated by the TV cameras that surprised him engaged on the cell phone during Juventus- Milan.
