Deschamps: "Pescara to be respected"
Eleven days. That much since the last time Juventus went in the pitch for an official match. Since the 5-1 to Triestina to today, many things have happened: from a championship turn where all the rivals came up to a promotion (Piacenza, Genoa and Bologna), to the making official of the next commitments against Albinoleffe and Napoli; from the friendly with Liege, to the Nationals' matches. On this last aspect Deschamp is above all concentrated while presenting the match of Saturday in Pescara.
Everybody's back to the base (the last ones only on Thursday afternoon), the injured counted, the French technical could make a list of the gathered players. Palladino has recovered, out the desqualified Trezeguet - for the last time -, Kovac and Piccolo (both almost ready for a re-entry) and Camoranesi. About the National players, and particularly about the exclusion of the Italo-Argentinian, Deschamps commented at the press conference: "We talked, and together we decided to let him rest. He played 90 very good minutes on Wednesday, and he hadn't completly recover; I prefer to have him at his best from Monday on. Del Piero and Bojinov are back very charged and willing to play, Buffon was little busy, and Chiellini got excited in Wembley. For everybody, the known words matter, that is to say that we have to straightaway be back to our reality, which is Serie B, and to this match with Pescara, that fights for its salvation".
Indeed. From the international stages (Wembley on top of the others) to the Adriatic. From Scotland to Pescara. For these reasons the French promptly warns about which could be the dangers hidden behind this competition: "we know we're going to face a rival that will be playing one of the last chances to be back in the fight for its salvation. If we go in the pitch convinced we've already won, we risk to make a fool of ourselves. Pescara has to be respected and faced with grit, determination and unkindness, the same we'll use against Napoli. The right attitude and concentration are needed".
From Pescara begins also a very long series of matches, eight in 32 days. The importance of these matches is under everybody's eyes, but Deschamps has a long-term aim: "June 10 matters to me. Of course, if these matches are enough to close the matters, even better. But we are not in a hurry, we should think to one match at a time, and see also what our rivals are doing. It will be a long period with no much time for working, but we begin it well, and also Saturday's match in Liege has served to give me good signs".
