“If we step out on to that field as sacrificial lambs to the slaughter, we may as well not bother making the trip to Turin,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“Juve are a side who have so many options at their disposal, but we must be concentrated on ourselves, putting in a very aggressive performance to win back the ball and counter quickly.
“It’s true we are missing important players, like Erick Pulgar, Filip Helander and Godfred Donsah, but that’s even more reason for those who do play to show what they can do.
“This is a massive opportunity and they must play with grit and the desire to prove what they can do.”
Juventus are now four points clear at the top of the Serie A table with only three rounds to go, despite losing their last home game to Napoli.
“I think Juve have been very consistent over the years and proved they are still the team to beat. It’s funny that people are still doubting Massimiliano Allegri after everything he has achieved.”
Bologna squad for Juventus: Da Costa, Mirante, Santurro; De Maio, Keita, Krafth, Masina, Mbaye, Romagnoli, Torosidis; Crisetig, Nagy, Poli, Valencia; Avenatti, Destro, Di Francesco, Falletti, Krejci, Orsolini, Palacio, Verdi
