Didier Deschamps has warned Juventus against underestimating their next opponents Albinoleffe. “Let’s stay concentrated.”
The Bianconeri look forward to doing well in Friday’s match, in view of the long-awaited showdown with Napoli on Tuesday, but the Coach insists the focus is just on the next clash.
“We mustn’t think about the match with Napoli, the tie with Albinoleffe is much more important,” Deschamps said in Thursday’s Press conference.
“Tomorrow is a normal championship day, while Tuesday is a bonus, an extra match for us and for Napoli. Our aim is to take a step forward towards promotion,” continued the Frenchman.
“Albinoleffe are very good at preventing their rivals from playing and they close every space. They have won many points so far, they really aren’t the best rivals to face.”
David Trezeguet will be back after serving a three-match ban and Deschamps is sure that he will give an important contribution to the team.
“He is eager to return to the pitch, he did very well in Liege and he found new confidence. He will be an additional weapon for us in this match and in the next ones,” concluded the Bianconero.
Juventus (probable): Buffon; Birindelli, Chiellini, Boumsong, Balzaretti; Camoranesi, Paro, Giannichedda, Nedved; Trezeguet, Palladino
