Massimiliano Allegri talked at a press conference ahead of the Milan–Juventus match tomorrow night . With all of the injuries that have recently hit Juventus,the bianconeri coach explained who will be available and who won't: “Mandzukic could recover in time for tomorrow. Chiellini is doing well, but he will be available once again on Wednesday. Not even Pjaca will be recovered for the match, but Marchisio is close to returning. Rugani trained yesterday, but today we'll see how much pain he has in his knee.". He talked about how important his bench is for the long season: “The players on the bench are needed more than the starters because they can break the game open. Cuadrado? He deserves to start, but I need someone with his characteristics to come off the bench, and without Pjaca, I can't remain without an alternative on the bench."
Milan-Juve, a match that means a lot more for the Serie A standings this year: “Before I say anything, I want to compliment Milan because they're having a great season and above all, they have good, young players who will be the future of the Italian National Team. They are playing regularly, and have lots of room to grow, but are guided by a great coach. Tomorrow is always Milan-Juventus and the games against Milan, Inter, Roma and Napoli are all balanced, especially Milan-Juventus. We went to Milan to face Inter, we were the favorites, and we left with a nice whack. Tomorrow we're facing a team with great enthusiasm, they are young and strong. We need to play a balanced game with a great mind, because we must have lots of respect for this Milan team that's doing great things."
Allegri continued to praise Montella's side: "Maybe they're lacking experience, but they have enthusiasm, courage, and unconsciousness. We're a little bit more experienced, but they have quality and play good football, so I believe they deserve the second place position they have in the table. The season is long, so it takes great balance. Tomorrow is an important game that will be beautiful to play."
