Lazio-Juventus: the probable lineups

The Bianconeri meet Lazio this weekend. A team that will see the debut of new coach Igor Tudor on their bench, following the resignation of Maurizio Sarri. So a difficult match that could help the Bianconeri break the deadlock after the recent complicated results.

Cheerful, stay focused

He showed himself to the journalists in the pre-match press conference in a concentrated cheerful mood, aware of the importance of the challenge: “I think it’s important right now to stay focused on the season finale. Unfortunately we threw away a lot of points ahead of fifth place. Now we need to be realistic. We scored 7 points in the last 8, only 13 points in the second round. We have 9 games to consolidate the three remaining Champions League places. As we said before, there is the Italian Cup to play, Tuesday will be an important match against Lazio, one of the two matches that is worth a final. Let’s think about this. I am happy that the club has renewed their trust in me, but I had no doubts. We are working and they are planning for the future. We must be focused on the present, which is tomorrow and the final rush will start. It will be difficult, there are many direct clashes and we have lost many points on our pursuers“

And on the confirmation from the management: “Scanavino’s words made me happy because he represents the company. It’s like this in football: if you win you’re a good guy, if you don’t win…Results count, we’ve achieved fewer. The boys did well in the first round, but we’re not doing well in the second half. Football always gives you the chance to reverse the negative moment. What is all black today may be white tomorrow. We work to reverse the trend of lack of results. We have too important a goal to achieve. We have the Club World Cup, we have to play the Champions League. It is such an important stimulus that this objective must not escape.”
