Juventus, Allegri: “Tomorrow's match is similar to last year's game against Carpi”

With the Champions League behind them, Juventus returns to the Serie A in search of continued success. They play away at Empoli tomorrow, and will look to keep their place atop the league table. Massimiliano Allegri will face off against Martusciello's side tomorrow, who have experienced a complicated season thus far: just one win in six matches. The coach of the bianconeri spoke about the match in a press conference today: "If I change our playing style, you are all quick to ask me about when the next time it will happen? We like to keep this topic open. Regarding my experiments, in Zagreb I tried a system to see how our players would react to it. I don't hope to force a specific playing style on my players, but we can have players with different characteristics on the pitch. We've been together for 40 days, we must continue to improve and get to know each other better, but that's a job we must do throughout the whole year."

″The objectives of Juventus are all the big ones: we participate in every competition to try and win it, and we must create the perfect conditions to do so. We need to finish this month at our best, so we have to win against Empoli. After the international break, we play again in Champions League and then we have tough tests against Napoli and Milan, teams that will fight for the top. We can't make any mistakes in our approach tomorrow. I won't respond to any questions about Napoli because I don't coach them. Tomorrow's match," – Allegri continued - "is similar to the game against Carpi last year. In the last minute, we gave them a chance to come back, which put our season at risk. In certain situations, you have to remind the players of certain things, but they know they are ultimately responsible for their actions."

On individual players and insights into what formation he could play tomorrow: ″Khedira came into the squad on August 5th, and worked hard for 20 days, which is why he has always played. In football, there is never a sure thing, every year goes differently: there are plenty of random conversations, but Khedira has played many games this year. Last year, he got injured right away and he spent his first three months without playing. This week, we had an extra day of rest: everyone is good and fresh. Pjanic is fit, Hernanes could have done well last year but he was practically always injured. This year, Hernanes is becoming an indispensable player for us, which makes me happy. It also makes me laugh. I have not found our definitive form: Lemina has played very well up until now, and he can play in many roles. Now, Sturaro is returning, and I hope Marchisio returns quickly, too. That way we can have many solutions. Looking ahead to tomorrow's match, Hernanes could play in front of the defense, but I could burn him out for the matches up ahead. Cuadrado is a candidate to play, but I still haven't decided which formation we will play. non ho ancora deciso la formazione né chi fare giocare. Mattiello is playing pretty well, too, with the Primavera squad."
