Juventus will face Atalanta the day after Christmas at the Stadio Atlet Azzurri in Bergamo. The bianconeri’s manager Massimiliano Allegri was asked what he would like to receive for Christmas during the pre match press conference:”I would like to see the objectives we set become reality. The Suoer Cup on January 16th is a small gift, but it can be the beginning. On my Christmas menu there’s both meat and fish: this is a day that unites all Italians”
Allegri was asked about his expected starting lineup:”Khedira could play while Matuidi has a fever. Bernardeschi, Cuadrado and Barzagli are out. One of the two central defenders will rest, Kean could be selected. Will Cristiano Ronaldo play? No, he’ll watch the match with me for the first time. He’s performing very well, he has his best stats ever, but we want him to be in top shape in February/March”
