Massimiliano Allegri sheds light on Di Maria case

Massimiliano Allegri’s words on the eve of Juventus-Lecce

Massimiliano Allegri presented in a press conference the midweek match against Lecce, scheduled for Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Allianz Stadium. “We reached this famous quota of 60 that we couldn’t get there,” the Bianconeri coach began. “The team’s attitude was different from the 25 minutes in Milan. We made a lot of mistakes in the final phase and we have to improve on that. Tomorrow will be different, Lecce wants to stay in Serie A and we have to be good, focused and respectful. We have two goals ahead, which are one of the top 4 places and the Europa League. Then we will see. There have been positive and negative things. It has been a year in which we have had vicissitudes. We have two goals ahead and they have to be a stimulus for us.”

He then shed light on the Di Maria case: “Rabiot? Tomorrow it is possible that he will rest. Di Maria is fine, the pain in his ankle has passed and he can be in the game tomorrow. We expect a lot from him, as we do from everyone. Vlahovic is fine, he came on in Bologna and tomorrow I will decide whether to start him from the beginning. I am happy with what he has done so far.”
