The Mole Torino-Juventus
LIVE
derby will be on the pitch on Saturday at 6pm
Arthur, Dybala and McKennie out of the squad: Juventus and Andrea Pirlo have chosen the "hard punch", the three players have been excluded from the derby against Turin.
And the suspension could also be extended. "They will resume working with time, we'll see when," explains the coach.
They pay for the crime on Wednesday evening, when they were caught by the carabinieri violating the anti-Covid rules in McKennie's villa, well after the curfew time and with ten other people.
"It is a decision taken in agreement with the club, we had to give a signal because we are examples and we must behave as such - the manager explained - and it was not exactly the time to do it: not only for the team, since it was two days before the derby, but above all because the world is hit by a pandemic and you have to have respect for those who are following the rules. "
Nicola, Turin is not inferior in the dry match
- There was apprehension, given that even among the Azzurri an outbreak of Covid had broken out.
Today the sigh of relief, with the tampons of Sirigu, Mandragora and Belotti, who will be regularly on the pitch against Juve.
Electricity and adrenaline, as well as the awareness of not feeling inferior: this is the derby according to Davide Nicola.
And the technician, of derby, knows about it.
Under the Lanterna, his balance is almost immaculate: one success on one as a manager, one defeat out of five matches as a footballer.
But Turin is not Genoa, Juve is not Sampdoria.
"I always try to win, even when I play with the top of the class - observes Nicola - and it is right not to feel inferior, because we are not: the ranking says something else, but it is because during the course the points determine the qualities In a single game, however, anything can happen ".
And the coach himself also wants to change his personal trend against the bianconeri, since he has always lost in the previous six.
The desire to take the field is enormous, "if it were up to me, I would play now" he said more than 24 hours before the appointment.
