Juventus cannot complain about tiredness ahead of Borussia Dortmund, according to their Coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The Bianconeri beat Sassuolo on Monday night, will face Palermo tomorrow and then finish off with the Champions league clash in Germany on Wednesday.
Despite what some may perceive as a heavy workload, Allegri insists he will not force excessive rotation to save legs for the game at Westfalenstadion.
“We must be prepared tomorrow,” Allegri told assembled media ahead of the Palermo game.
Juventus cannot complain about tiredness ahead of Borussia Dortmund, according to their Coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The Bianconeri beat Sassuolo on Monday night, will face Palermo tomorrow and then finish off with the Champions league clash in Germany on Wednesday.
Despite what some may perceive as a heavy workload, Allegri insists he will not force excessive rotation to save legs for the game at Westfalenstadion.
“We must be prepared tomorrow,” Allegri told assembled media ahead of the Palermo game.
“Especially because they play the game with great intensity. We played on Monday, it’s been five days so I absolutely don’t want to hear about tiredness.
“I don’t want to hear about Dortmund, because if a team can’t play every four or five days it means that we’ve trained badly, or don’t have the fitness to play in a great team.
“[Claudio] Marchisio is fine physically, his data is excellent, as is the whole team’s.
“He’s should realise – since he’s a lad who gives everything – that it’s better to manage games, and sometimes do less running when there is no need to [run hard].”
The Old Lady’s current preferred strike partnership is Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez, but the Coach dismisses suggestions they could both be rested in favour of Fernando Llorente and Alessandro Matri.
“I don’t think Llorente and Matri are likely to play together. They could play a bit of the game together, depending on how the game goes, but they’re unlikely to start together, because of their characteristics.
“In football you can’t just throw players in who have the same characteristics.”
