Sassuolo Coach Eusebio Di Francesco doesn’t expect Juventus to be distracted tomorrow.
The Bianconeri take on Bayern Munich next Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League Last 16 tie, but face the Neroverdi on domestic duty first.
“We’ll need great humility and great play,” Di Francesco predicted in his pre-match Press conference.
“I don’t think they’ll be distracted by the Champions League, I’ve faced Juve a lot – as a player too – and they’re always focused on every game, as it should be.
“If we could do something tomorrow it would be very satisfying. We know it’s difficult, we’re facing the form team in Serie A but the lads have to play openly and try to hurt an opponent who haven’t conceded in a long time.
“Juve often change their formation, but whether it’s a back-three or a back-four it doesn’t change their approach.
“We’re delighted with the performance and attitude we showed against Milan, it was a just reward for all our hard work.
“We’ve gone through a tough period this year, but we’re back to winning now and we’re pleased about that.
“To compete against teams like Milan and Juve you have to put in something extra.”
Di Francesco was also asked for his assessment of Bianconeri star Paul Pogba.
“I have my own Pogba, Simone Missiroli, but unfortunately he’s injured for tomorrow. Neither he or Cannavaro will make it, and Defrel is suspended.”
