8.15pm – JUVE WITHDRAWAL – Juventus is in retreat in Rome and will remain there until tomorrow around 7.15pm, when the Juventus players will board the bus to go to the stadium. For this match Massimiliano Allegri did not resolve his doubts regarding the formation. What is certain is that the coach from Livorno will start from 3-5-2: Perin will be in goal. In defense there is room for Gatti, Bremer and Danilo. In midfield there are the biggest doubts as we still need to understand who will play in place of Locatelli who is disqualified. At the moment Nicolussi Caviglia seems slightly ahead, but Allegri also tried the Miretti solution. The other issue to be resolved concerns the left wing. On the left-handed flank, for now, Iling Jr appears to be the favorite and is in a run-off with Kostic. To complete the department there will be Cambiaso, McKennie and Rabiot. In attack there is no doubt: Chiesa and Vlahovic will play.
Juventus: (3-5-2): Perin; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; McKennie, Cambiaso, Nicolussi Caviglia, Rabiot, Iling Jr; Church, Vlahovic

The Republic recognizes the educational value, social, to promote the psychophysical well-being of sporting activity in all its forms. Thus, since September last year, article 33 of the Italian Constitution recognizes the centrality of sport and its values in our daily lives. to which I am personally extremely attached and which I consider the essence of the profession we carry out, we are here on the eve of the Italian Cup final with the pride of playing and winning a trophy that pays homage to this splendid country, rich in meaning and references historic, a final that like Juventus we are preparing to play for the twenty-second time, consolidating our record Simao here in his presence, together with our opponents, to once again represent the uniqueness of sport, football on this occasion,. to know how to unite the feelings and passions of the fans. President, allow me to share with you and our opponents a brief reflection linked to my experience in recent years as a coach and the daily teaching received from the players. The awareness that in the growth process of a team there are two essential elements: the strength of the group and the desire to achieve shared objectives together even in the face of difficulties. As I love to repeat to our boys who wear the Juventus shirt, constant dedication to achieving objectives, daily work made of a lot of sacrifice and the desire to improve to give everything we have, obtaining the best without too many words and without fanfare are fundamental. , but very concretely. I would like to express the hope that the very team spirit that will guide us in tomorrow’s challenge can be, even if only in a small way, a source of inspiration for all those who see in the values of sport a stimulus to live and improve themselves day by day. On behalf of myself and Juventus, I wish you to continue your tireless work of dedication to our Republic and the values it represents for a long time. I share with everyone present the desire that tomorrow’s event at the Olympic Stadium will be an opportunity to once again reaffirm the passion, magic and emotion of the game of football. Thank you President.”
GASPERINI: “Dear president, from me and from all of Atalanta, thank you very much for the invitation. It is an honor and a source of great pride for us to be received by you because this moment gives even more luster to the final act of a competition which has a historicity and sporting value of absolute relevance in the Italian football scene and beyond. We as a club know this well, given that the Italian Cup is engraved in our history, having won one in 1963. Today it is an even bigger competition. , of greater prestige because it recognizes the two finalists’ participation in the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. This is the third Italian Cup final for us in the last five years, an extraordinary result for a provincial club like ours, but also for Bergamo. for the people of Bergamo and for our fans who have followed us for years with affection and extraordinary warmth in Italy and Europe and who tomorrow will occupy all the seats reserved for them at the Olympic Stadium. It is another reason of great pride for us, as much as the results that we have obtained in recent years and which must be the manifesto of how meritocracy can, indeed, must be a principle to always be safeguarded and protected. Our hope is that obviously the outcome of tomorrow’s final, which will be followed by the Europa League final in Dublin, will be different from the previous two, but the certainty is that it will be a great match, in which both we and Juventus will try to honor the good name of Italian football. Thanks again for this moment dedicated to us, happy ending everyone. Long live Italian football.”
