It's time for Christmas and panettone, but for Massimiliano Allegri his Juventus is more like Easter and chocolate eggs.
"We are a bit like that, we never know what a surprise we are" the coach's joke recalling the fluctuating season of his boys.
"This has been our trend since the beginning of the year, now we must understand that we are experiencing a very important moment and therefore we must give a signal in terms of performance", he adds on the eve of the trip to Venice which, as already declared after the victory in the Champions League against Malmoe, it doesn't make him calm at all.
"It will be very strange, because they arrive at the stadium by ferry and the field it is narrower - the details of the 'Penzo' listed by the coach - plus we played it just me, now in the eighties, and Chiellini: we'll have a race provincial, we will have to run and to have humility, because only by putting on their plan will leave the technical qualities ". If anything, though, the air you breathe to Continassa bodes well for the coach: "The boys have understood the importance of this game and this time, big risk if we interpret it in a certain way, but I'm sure we will make a good performance. " Meanwhile, we should try to score a little 'more: "We have too low a percentage achieved,to score a goal we have to create five chances - explains Allegri referring to one of the worst figures in Serie A, with only 28% of balls used - and they are not Juve numbers. It needs more evil and more lucid in front of goal. "As for the training, Morata should be paired with Dybala that" doing well and has trained with his teammates and is ready to play, "while Arthur there will be:" This morning arrived late for training, for this reason he will not be called. These are things that happen during the season, there are no problems ".Morata should be paired with Dybala who "is fine and has trained with his teammates and is ready to play", while Arthur will not be there: "This morning he arrived late for training, for this reason he will not be called up. they happen during the season, there are no problems ".Morata should be paired with Dybala who "is fine and has trained with his teammates and is ready to play", while Arthur will not be there: "This morning he arrived late for training, for this reason he will not be called up. they happen during the season, there are no problems ".
