On the pitch at 18.30 Cremonese-Juventus DIRECT and Fiorentina Monza DIRECT for the 16th day of Serie A
THE EVE
"Let's start again after 52 days off, it will be a complicated match": Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus is ready to resume in the league with the away match in Cremona.
"They haven't conceded a goal in the last two at home, they were tough against Napoli and shoot a lot on goal - adds the coach on tomorrow's opponent - and you need to have respect and humility, it's the second half and it will be difficult".
"It will be a good second part of the season, Napoli are the favorites but we want to get into the top four and try to play in the finals of the Coppa Italia and Europa League" continues Allegri and sets the goals for 2023 for his Juventus.
"We will have to play 37 matches in five months, that means one match every four days - adds the Juventus coach - and for this reason we need to live day by day and think match by match: let's think of the micro-objectives in view of the great final goal".
"We have worked in recent weeks to be ready, we have an obligation to climb up the standings starting tomorrow". Vincenzo Italiano, on the eve of the home match with Monza, encourages his Fiorentina
.
"We have to reactivate immediately, especially mentally after such a long break" - added the coach, who won't be able to count on the injured Nico Gonzalez, Sottil, Mandragora and must assess the condition of Amrabat who returned only two days ago after the post-World Cup holidays .
"He's trained little with the team, physically he's fine but I'll decide at the last minute. I would like it 100% from every point of view. If I've had reassurances from the club that he won't be sold in January as happened last year with Vlahovic? We haven't discussed it perhaps because - he smiled - the boy wasn't here with us in this period... Jokes aside, I was pleased to see him so appreciated at the World Cup and it gives me hope also in a purple key".
