+++ PRESS CONFERENCE MAX ALLEGRI PRE ATALANTA-JUVENTUS +++
We must be conscious of the importance of the game. 5 games to go so now all games start to be decisive. After this weekend we will know the points needed to qualify for UCL.
Losing a few young players for the U20 world cup is not a problem. Soulé already found the agreement with the club, he leaves after the Cremonese game. He wants to go. Iling will remain with us. Miretti? At the moment there is no request.
I didn’t decide the attack yet. Kean came back after a month of inactivity. One fame every 4 days until the end of the season. As I always say who start or enters from the bench can be decisive.
What is giving me trust for the final trust? I always had trust on the team because except of some moments of difficulties, especially the last part where we won only one game, the team is in good conditions. We must think game by game. As we always do. First thinking about the game of tomorrow and then see the ranking. We face Atalanta, it’s 6 games that we didn’t beat them. A team that won the last 3. In a great form. Also them are competing for a top 4 position.
I must be concentrated on these last 30 days. After this the club will think about all the future plans. Players, Sporting directors,.. Obviously the sporting director’s role is not something I take decisions on. When and if the club will choose, they will inform me.
When a team wins it’s because they were stronger (Napoli). Napoli totally deserved this scudetto. All seasons are different. Next one will be different but for everything they did this season we need to congratulate them.
Pogba did 20 great minutes last game. But I repeat, a really unfortunate season for him between no surgery and surgery and small injuries here and there that led us to these last 30 days. Now I need to use him in the best possible way. Now the objective is not who’s playing 20 or 60 minutes but trying to win these last games in Serie A and Europa league. I said it last week as well, there are no individual objectives at this point but one: the team objective. As the boys showed last game they are at disposal of the team and they are all equally important. When we arrive at the end of the season and we reached our objectives it’s not that one is more important than the other.
At the moment 73pts make you qualify to UCL. 72pts could be depending on today’s results.
When you are part of Juventus that historically plays to win compete in all competitions and it’s the third year that you don’t compete for the scudetto, it’s normal that next season Juventus need to be competitive again for the scudetto. Of course it hurts and when you see the other ones winning, the desire to win increases. We must think about what we need to do at the moment. Qualifying to UCL. We have 2 ways to participate to UCL. Or top 4 or winning UEL that I repeat are no easy tasks. A
