After starting the season with nine wins in a row, Juventus are focused on their last match before the international break. Manager Massimiliano Allegri discussed his team’s mid set going into the showdown with Udinese in the pre match presss conference: “We have to close this cycle the best way possible in Udine, a tough match awaits us. We always play physical matches there, not pretty ones. But we must bring it home, the fans always support us. Every moment must be lived with great enthusiasm from everyone. Is Juve better than last season? We’ll see at the end”
Allegri discussed the status of some of his individual players:”Khedira was okay, he came back and got hurt again. This is the truth, we are going to do more tests. Tomorrow Szczesny will play. Khedira and Rugani are out, De Sciglio is available. Either Ronaldo, Dybala and Mandzukic play together or either Dybala or Mandzukic will be out”
Allegri was asked about Ronaldo’s current situation:”He’s feeling well, regarding the off field issues: he’s someone I’ve known for three months, what I can say is that in fifteen years of his career he’s always been a great professional. He decided with Portugal’s manager and president of the federation to not join the team
