Juventus, Allegri: "I want to respect the contract. But I can't decide for others"

Turin, 21 May 2023 - "I still have a two-year contract and I remain 100% as far as my choice is concerned. But I can decide for myself, not for others. We'll see if next year the Juventus whether or not he will participate in the European cups. The company will make its own assessments. I feel the confidence: we are momentarily second in the standings, all things considered. Then it's a shame not to have reached the final of the Italian Cup and Europa League." Despite the attempt to Massimiliano Allegri to keep your attention on tomorrow's match (Monday 22 May, 20 pm) between Empoli e Juventus, the future of the Juventus coach is the main topic in the conference on the eve of the match.

"Szczesny? He knows little Italian.."

The future is uncertain to say the least. The feeling is that the environment does not have the same views in all its elements as we try to make people believe: this is also demonstrated by the statements - intended to spark discussion - of the Juventus coach regarding the words expressed by Wojciech Szczesny after the defeat against Seville, with the Pole talking about a deserved elimination and criticizing the team's attitude after the opening goal in the second half of Dusan Vlahovic. According to the former Roma, the attitude was too submissive. "Szczesny's words? Not knowing Italian perfectly, perhaps he made a mistake in using the terms. After the matches we should keep quiet, because inaccurate things can be said in the heat of the moment. The team in Seville did everything it could do in the best of ways. We were imprecise in attack, we conceded an avoidable goal, but these things happen. We faced a strong team." In short, the direction taken by Allegri is exactly the opposite of Szczesny's analysis.

Between the new sentence and the trip to Empoli

But in the meantime, we also have to think about tomorrow's match against Castellani. "The team will have to have a reaction after the elimination from the Europa League. We have to defend second place in the standings, which would be an important result given the two fourth places from which the team comes. We have three games to leave on the field Juventus in the top four positions to qualify for the Champions League. Then what happens outside doesn't depend on us. We're used to everything now, we have to stay focused and strong." Tomorrow, just before the Empoli match, the new penalty for capital gains is expected. However, Allegri's concentration is on football matters. There will be some changes, I will evaluate today. Yesterday we had Vlahovic feverish and refill a little beat up, though Miretti he played little, I'm there Kean e Owned, There is Barbieri, since we don't have Square e Danilo, then Costic who played less on Thursday. We have the team to bring home the three points against an Empoli who are safe but have no worries and are a brilliant team that creates. In Empoli, then, it's always difficult to play."
