Juventus squad for Parma
By Football Italia staff

Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez are rested for the game against Parma, with a view to Tuesday night's clash with Monaco.

The Bianconeri, who currently enjoy a 14-point lead in Serie A, appear to be prioritising their Champions League engagements and will rest some of their star players, despite Max Allegri’s words earlier.

In addition to Pirlo and Tevez, captain Gianluigi Buffon and midfielder Paul Pogba are out of the squad as they are deemed unfit to play. The former is reported by Juventus to be suffering from an intestinal virus, while the latter is still recovering from injury.

Juventus squad for Parma: Chiellini, Ogbonna, Pepe, Marchisio, Morata, Coman, Llorente, De Ceglie, Bonucci, Padoin, Vidal, Vitale, Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Storari, Matri, Evra, Rubinho, Pereyra, Marrone, Audero

They stay in Turin to better prepare the challenge Tuesday against Monaco Tevez, Pirlo and Buffon. The striker and midfielder are fully recovered and played physical work individually programmed to optimize the condition. The goalkeeper is instead stopped because of a mild intestinal viruses.

‘Juventus not thinking of Monaco’
By Football Italia staff

Juventus are not thinking about their clash with Monaco on Tuesday, instead focusing on Parma, insists Max Allegri.

The Bianconeri face the Ligue 1 side in the Champions League Quarter Final first leg, looking to secure an important win at Juventus Stadium.

However, their Coach warns that all focus must be on Saturday’s trip to Parma.

“I cannot prepare the match against Monaco now,” Allegri explained in his pre-match Press conference.

“Tomorrow we play Parma, a team which plays in a completely different way. I believe that you have to deal with things one-at-a-time, with patience and calm.

“We cannot play Monaco until Tuesday. First we have Parma, so let’s try and take three points against Parma, which I think is much more important at the moment.

“Then, after tomorrow night, we’ll prepare for Monaco. We’ll have a day to prepare, so, sure, the games are close, but we will absolutely not be thinking about Monaco today and tomorrow.

“We can’t go to Parma thinking the game is won, because the game will start at 6pm at 0-0. We have to win on the pitch.

“We know the importance of this game, because next Saturday [against Lazio] we have the first of a series of clashes with teams which are high-up in the table.

“We have to understand the importance of the game tomorrow, and the lads know that because they’ve reached an important level of maturity, and that’s reflected in how they approach games.

“Then we can prepare for the game against Monaco. I understand how the fans feel, this anxiety, but if you live with anxiety you’ll be unhappy.

“We need to get rid of this anxiety, and just wait enthusiastically and calmly for the game.

“I think, at the beginning of the season, few gave Juventus the chance of being so many points clear at the top of the League, in the Coppa Italia final and about to play a Champions League Quarter Final with a chance of making the semis.”

Despite these words, however, Allegri did hint at making changes to his side when they visit Tardini tomorrow.

“[Carlos] Tevez is in top condition, he rested on Tuesday, so is it necessary to rest Tevez? Players are not like machines, where you just start them up and they go.

“If a player stops and plays fewer games, then they find it more difficult to pick up the pace of the game. Today, in training, I’ll assess who will take to the field.

“[Kingsley] Coman, after the knock he had against Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia [first leg] has recovered, he went through a period where he was training a bit less.

“He’s a young player, and it’s certain that from here until the end of the League season he’ll have more opportunities, and that will be important for him because it will improve the qualities we know he has.

“Alessandro Matri? I’ll have to see tomorrow, he went through a long period of not playing, so I’ll see what condition he’s in.

“Playing so many games in a few days [after a long time out] is not easy either physically or mentally.

“As for [Fernando] Llorente, he’s very good, he had a good game for the time he was on the pitch against Empoli, I’ll see today who I’ll field.

“[Alvaro] Morata played very well in Florence, but unfortunately his sending off will deny him the final. I’ll have time to evaluate everyone today, and I’ll decided by tomorrow morning.”

Allegri then reflected on that 3-0 triumph at Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia semi-final, calling it an ‘important performance’.

“On Tuesday, the lads that played did so with great technique and desire,” the Coach recalled.

“They had a huge desire to overturn the result, something which I believe had never happened in the history of Juventus in knockout football.

“When Juventus have lost at home, they’ve never been able to overturn that result in the Coppa Italia or in European competition.

“So I think the performance the lads put in on Tuesday was an important one. Winning 3-0 in Florence against a Fiorentina side in great form, which plays some of the best football in the country was not easy.

“So I think we’ve achieved something which no-one believed we could.”

19:46 - Sturaro CONFIRMED - Juventus are traveling to Parma. Tomorrow Massimiliano Allegri could deploy 4-3-3: in the door there will be Storari. In defense could rest Bonucci could be replaced by Ogbonna who could play with Chiellini, on the wings, however, there may be Padoin and De Ceglie. In midfield should be confirmed Vidal, Marchisio and Sturaro. In attack, Allegri could deploy Pepe, Llorente and Coman. Forward but there may be a chance for Matri or Morata.

Juventus (4-3-3): Storari; Padoin; Ogbonna, Chiellini, De Ceglie; Vidal, Marchisio, Sturaro; Pepe, Llorente, Coman.


19:08 - STORARI TOMORROW IN PORT - Juventus, in the afternoon, after training is left for Parma. Tomorrow brings play Storari, given the absence of Buffon for intestinal viruses. In attack, against Parma, that Tevez will remain at Vinovo to prepare for the match against Monaco. So, tomorrow may be forward Llorente and perhaps his side could be Morata.

I would rest vidal and put in a youth player, pretty stupid risking him for a parma game we have the scudetto under lock and key it's not joing anywhere and hopefully tevez doesn't see a minute

Tevez didn't travel with the squad. No, I don't agree to rest vidal, because as Allegri said, when you suddenly rest a player when playing constantly, you decrease his tempo and this may affect his form in the next game.

Yeah form is important but because we are without Pogba it is pretty risky lets hope Parma have FairPlay on their mind and no dirty tricks.

Parma will go for the win @marrotalad, they have nothing to loose.

Seems to be the moment of truth for Coman today.

Juventus: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Chiellini, Ogbonna, Padoin; Vidal, Marchisio, Sturaro; Pereyra; Coman, Llorente

Are we playing with 10 men? Where is vidal?

Am I bias or pereyra is actually all around the pitch?

Now this is why Coman isn't playing

He is everywhere he saved our asses twice in the beginning

and these are the days when Allegri's deficiencies show, how llorente makes 25mins lest 90 mins beats the mind.... and also its like we want to lose, Vitale on for Coman instead of Matri for Llotree?

Allegri didn't want to win this at all.

TBH, I believe that we gave the game purposely...

Llorente

Pathetic player

Coman needs to be loaned next season he is not ready for Juventus and today was shown why he isn't playing.

Llorente must be sold, pathetic player this season.

Vidal was like headless chicken.

All in all I don't give a shit we won the title, and the best thing was we saved some first team players for the Monaco game.

llorente is so useless its not even funny, we might as well put a pair of adidas boots on as our CF and it prolly do a better job of knocking balls back to the opposition than llotree does it....

It's ok guys we already won the title, the best and most positive thing is that we rested some of our first team players for Monaco.

It was an pretty even game thou and we played with most reserve players.
