Max Allegri warns Juventus ‘need a good performance or we won’t get a result’ away to Sampdoria this evening during a period of ‘great effort.’

The Bianconeri are resting Dusan Vlahovic for the first time since he arrived from Fiorentina in January, having started eight consecutive matches in all competition.
Instead, Moise Kean leads the trident attack with Alvaro Morata and Juan Cuadrado.
“The team is doing well, we are facing a very complicated game against a Sampdoria side who won their last two home games,” Allegri told DAZN.
“We are playing every three days, so that is a great effort, but a good one, because it means we are in all the competitions still.”
There is an on-going injury crisis for the Old Lady, who miss players including Paulo Dybala, Giorgio Chiellini, Denis Zakaria, Leonardo Bonucci and Weston McKennie.
“Locatelli and Arthur are doing well, Rabiot too with different characteristics. We need a good performance here, or we won’t get a result,” added the coach.
“The games never end until the final whistle in Genoa, as on home turf they can get this boost of enthusiasm. We need to remain in the game with calm and solidity.
“We have to play it one match at a time, try to do well and then have three days to prepare for the Champions League.”
