Here we go! Good luck ♥

Hope Vidal comes back...with Chiellini Bonucci & Barzagli as back 3
Idk why Conte didn't take Tevez off @ half time vs Sassulo

Was only 1-1 at half time, would've been counter-productive.

LIVE VINOVO - Juve prepare the match against Benfica. In defense of the ballot Caceres-Barzagli. In midfield Vidal could take the place of one of Pirlo, Marchisio or Pogba. Giovinco in attack doubt-Llorente to assist Tevez

13:25 - THINKING ABOUT THE JUVENTUS BENFICA - This morning, Juventus has already returned to prepare for the match against Benfica. Carlitos Tevez on his arrival in Vinovo has been acclaimed by fans in attendance who unfurled a banner that read: "Carlitos give me five". Against Benfica Conte, according to Sky Sports, would have three questions for training. In defense, in fact, the runoff is between Caceres and Barzagli. While Vidal in midfield could take the place of one of Marchisio, Pirlo or Pogba. In the attack, however, Tevez should be chosen, at his side is playing a jersey holder Giovinco and Llorente.

====

There is no way of dropping Marchisio... Its either pogba or pirlo. They have been playing very poorly lately. I guess that it would be pirlo. If you guys noticed vs Sassuolo, Conte removed the players who are part of the second team (Ogbonna, Isla... and PIRLO) and put in the subs (Bonnuci, LICH, Marchisio), who are first team players. So, most probably, Vidal would play instead of Pirlo. Maybe he wanted to test the team before benfica. In attack, Giovinco has been on form lately, while llorente has been poor as well despite his goal.

FOOTBALL » SERIE A » JUVENTUSTuesday, April 29, 201463 comments Benfica accusation: "The Uefa wants Juve in the final!"The Portuguese club, on Thursday will face the Bianconeri at the Stadium for the return of starting from the semi-final 2-1 win in the going, is furious: "The discipline has anticipated the meeting to discuss the alleged elbow Perez Chiellini.

TURIN - (ee) Juve-Benfica, act second. Thursday night at the Stadium will go ondo the return of the Europa League semi-final, but it lacks the intermission. The Portuguese club, in fact, charge, A Bola as the headline on the front page: "The Uefa wants Juventus in the final in Turin, May 14." All this because the guideline is to examine the famous elbow Perez Chiellini unseen by the referee in the first leg. "They anticipated the meeting. We only have 21 hours after notification to respond to the accusations, "says the director of communications Joao Gabriel. What then repeats the allegations: "Benfica, after this decision, believes that the desire to win the UEFA Europa League final with Juventus in Turin." A conspiracy, in other words ("And 'the white club to want to disqualify Perez"). The fact remains that the Argentine has really hit the defender in the Livorno area, but Platini is the number one UEFA, played for the Old Lady and then the Portuguese conjure up the usual suspects, bring into the fight, for the moment minutes. Surely, however, the temperature at the Stadium Thursday will be hot ...

He really deserves a disqualification. He elbowed chiellini on purpose. I remember the incidence.

If marchisio, vidal, or bonbon get a yellow they won't play the final if we qualify.

TURIN - Juventus Stadium is at finishing last and very important. The Bianconeri coach has been greeted by many fans from dawn (those who came from outside Turin) are already at the Stadium. Training behind closed doors. Important. Because after this work the technician will decide who to play between Vidal and Marchisio.

TURIN - Here we go, in a few hours one of the most anticipated games in the history of Juventus in recent years. There Benfica ticket for the final in Turin. The Cup at home, then. Yeah, nice, an opportunity not to be wasted. First, though, Benfica. And, believe me, is not a formality. But everything is ready. Turin is cloudy, it rained in the night, there is risk of rain. The land of the Juventus Stadium is covered. They are beginning to arrive early fans. There is a bus arrived from Salerno. Meanwhile, a few miles farther on, there is the hotel of Juventus, a stone's throw from the airport. Antonio Conte is thinking training. One question: Vidal or Marchisio. The melt in the late afternoon after talking with his closest collaborators and before the technical meeting prevesta for 17. Juve is done, then. Buffon in goal. Then Caceres, Bonucci and Chiellini. To the right and left Lichtsteiner Asamoah. In the midst of Pogba, one of Pirlo and Marchisio and Vidal. Forward Tevez and Llorente. With Giovinco ready to get in the shot. The team is charged, focused, knows that this game is worth a treasure because it's not every day that you can play a final at home. Not to mention that a few days is the championship game against Atalanta. Juve so much, then.

Its pogba who should be rested, not marchisio.

Juve fans: "The Stadium will be a real pit 'The Juventus fans: "We will go home without a voice, tonight we have an obligation to be the man in more 'field, and we shall be!

- Juventus Stadium this evening I will be a pit. Even the white fans are ready to do battle with Benfica and announce it in a statement: " We climbed the walls of hell with our support and our passion to go back to being the Juve feared and hated by all; tonight the eyes of all Italy and Europe will be focused on U.S., we face a challenge to which we must respond to this! WE go home tonight without a voice, tonight we have an obligation to be the man in more 'field, and we will be! WE will transform the stadium into a pit! Until the end ... Come on guys we believe! Drughi Bianconeri. "

Vidal may be the weapon of surprise CountThey report that Earl yells back, looking at trot. For the series: You wanted the bike? Now ride. The Chilean aims to conquer the protagonist, the final 14

TURIN - His last appearance as a starter, which still sounded like an appearance modest when compared to the months of prodigious best seasonal Vidal, dating back to April 10, three weeks ago. Also in the Europa League, but against Lyon: 75 minutes against the light. They still had to widen the fears as to the possible surgery of the knee, although since mid-March, the Chilean complained about problems, pain, anxiety. He traveled to gauge, although Vidal words compressing the fears between the teeth, under the slogan already heard in time. "I want to give everything for Juve, we want to win the league title and play in the Europa League final in our stadium, we follow the story." Chasing himself. And it will also at this time of approach to the game, with Count reluctant to make decisions - though risky - if not in extremis. Out of the forced stop at the end of last week, Vidal has taken to accelerate coming off of surgery, without having certainty about tomorrow. Your doctor or a physical therapist in Chile came to Turin because of this, to see first hand the dangers in anticipation of the World Cup and the midfielder's physical and mental condition. Who returned to see her last lap in Reggio Emilia, the final ten minutes against Sassuolo. VIDAL WHAT? - Count the report that he yelled back, looking at trot. For the series: You wanted the bike? Now ride. Vidal aims to conquer the protagonist, the final 14. Paradoxically, the growth and continuity of Marchisio in recent weeks represent an obstacle to the Chilean, the head of the Count. The 18 goals in 45 appearances raise Vidal on the podium of the major players of the season. But what we are talking about Vidal? The latest version, braking and more ordinary, or prime mover of the instance of the Bianconeri, with no hesitation and enriched by an indomitable spirit? Conte is asking to what extent Vidal is able to deal with a whole lot to the maximum intensity in an event that does not allow appeals. Nor would it make sense to decide a priori a forced replacement, reducing the possibility of choice during the race.

I want to see Marchisio play and I want 2-0

Marchisio needs to play. Marchisio has been our best midfielder for the past couple months. Especially with Pogba and Pirlo off form, I see no reason why Marchisio shouldnt start such a big game like this. The risk of yellow card is big, but considering we're down 2-1 from the first leg, I would take that chance.

Also dont understand why Barzagli wouldnt start. Caceres ia great, has performed beyond all my expectations by far, but Barzagli, even if he is jot quite 100%, is among the bestbin the world. Maybe even dropping Bonucci and putting Barzagli in the center could work too.

Barz isn't fit I guess. He can't play back to back games when he just came back from injury.

On the other hand: #Justice4marchisio
I prefer if he drops pogba, cuz u never know when we get a free kick

Tha fans will turn the stadium into hell!

Juventus would be intelligent to drop Pogba for this game as he has been a different player since the turn of the year.

Marchisio on the other hand with his evolved role and complete performances of late (for the past 2 months) simply has Juventus playing better and swirling a more dynamic midfield.
