Max Allegri announces the beginning of a 'micro-championship' and claims Juventus will need 'drive' to reach the fifth Scudetto.
The Bianconeri play Empoli tomorrow evening at 19:45 UK time, but their squad is beset with injuries.
“[Paulo] Dybala most likely won't make the game,” Allegri told the Press. “[Giorgio] Chiellini recovered and worked with the group.
“Today I'll decide who's in a condition to play tomorrow and who isn't, but I can't tell you now.
Max Allegri announces the beginning of a 'micro-championship' and claims Juventus will need 'drive' to reach the fifth Scudetto.
The Bianconeri play Empoli tomorrow evening at 19:45 UK time, but their squad is beset with injuries.
“[Paulo] Dybala most likely won't make the game,” Allegri told the Press. “[Giorgio] Chiellini recovered and worked with the group.
“Today I'll decide who's in a condition to play tomorrow and who isn't, but I can't tell you now.
“[Claudio] Marchisio is all right. I'll have other injured players returning, so I'll have to evaluate who to play now or I won't be able to play everyone later.
“The game is the most important thing. We're heading into a micro-championship of eight games. We have three points of advantage so we've got to defend that lead to the end. In fact we ought to widen that gap.
“Tomorrow's game is very difficult and complicated, as is always the case against Empoli. Last year it was very difficult as well. They play very well, they've got technique and they've got nothing to lose because their objective has already been reached.
“We play five games at home and we must win them all, because Napoli won't concede a single point. We can't do anything but win.
“Juventus must be careful. We need great intensity, and above all the right approach. But mostly what matters over these eight games is motivation.
“The fifth Scudetto would be something extraordinary. Tomorrow's game must be faced with greater determination than our opponent.
“We're playing at home and the support of our fans is going to be crucial. Our Scudetto will be decided at home.”
