Two days to go before we get stuck into Serie A action again. Sampdoria visit Juventus Stadium on Sunday and the Bianconeri are ready to pick up where they left off. Antonio Conte has left nothing to chance over the Christmas break, having called the players back to work on 28 December. Two training sessions nearly every day to make sure his charges are totally on top of their game going into the new year. There's been plenty of fitness work but also tactics and technique as the Bianconeri head into a double bill at Juventus Stadium: first we have Sunday's meeting with Sampdoria, then a Coppa Italia quarter-final against AC Milan just a few days later. The Lega Serie A has now confirmed the kick-off time for the cup clash on Wednesday 9 January: 8:45 pm.
In the meantime, Juventus are 100% focused on starting 2013 with a win over Sampdoria. This morning's training session saw the Bianconeri run through specific tactics and movements to be used against Sunday's opponents.
The players will reassemble at the training ground at 10:30 on Saturday morning for their last workout ahead of the Serie A encounter with the Blucerchiati. Conte is due to meet with journalists at the Media Center in Vinovo before putting his troops through their final preparations: the coach's pre-match press conference is scheduled for 10 am tomorrow.
