After the epic coomeback in the Champions League that pushed them to the next round, Juventus return to Serie A without the hat-trick hero of the Atletico Madrid game. The Bianconeri's coach Massimiliano Allegri revealed in fact that "Cristiano Ronaldo won't come to Genoa with the squad, he needed to rest and therefore he won't be selected", Allegri said in the pre-match press conference.
Allegri also returned on the Champions League game: "We did something unbelievable on Tuesday against Atletico. It was an emotional game, that proved that nothing must be taken for granted. Now we have to focus on the Serie A, since we have four games to play before the Ajax game. Only 5 wins are missing to claim the Scudetto mathematically. Tomorrow
it will be a difficult game. Genoa, at home, is a tough opponent and we
have to have the right performance. In the first leg, we dropped points
against them. Ajax? They are a fast team with players of great quality, who are difficult to
come up against. They will be different games in respect to Atletico.
It's a mistake to think we are already in the semi-final"
Finally, the coach gave some hints about the starting line-up for the away game versus Genoa: "Tomorrow, Mattia Perin will play in goal, while Matuidi and Chiellini will probably be rested".
