Juventus won’t have a day off tomorrow, but players will train at Continassa and will be free to return home.
The Bianconeri players were sent into training retreat after Saturday’s defeat against Hellas Verona. It was the fourth defeat in 11 Serie A games.
However, Massimiliano Allegri suggested that the retreat was over after Juventus’ 4-2 win over Zenit tonight.
“I am a coach, not a watchdog, we trained very well yesterday,” Allegri explained to SportMediaset.
“Tomorrow, the guys will have a day off, but on Thursday, we start again because we must recover the lost ground in Serie A, on Saturday, we have a tough game against Fiorentina.”
Juventus have now clarified Allegri’s quotes saying that players won’t have a day off tomorrow but will train regularly at Continassa. They won’t sleep at the J Hotel tonight and tomorrow, a club source told Football Italia.
Juventus have qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 with two games to spare.
However, they sit ninth in Serie A with 15 points in 11 games and are 16 points off leaders Milan and Napoli.
