“We are facing a very strong team indeed, but the most negative thing would be to worry before anything has even happened,” said the Coach in a Press conference.
“Winning would be a dream and only the fear of not making it come true can see it evaporate. Therefore we need the right attitude.
“We want to play this game with our style and aggression, because if you just try to defend against Juve, you will concede sooner or later.
“We need to score against them and cause their defence problems.”
Inter showed it can be done in Wednesday’s 3-0 Coppa Italia win, although Juve did eventually go through to the Final on penalties, 3-3 on aggregate.
“There will be many changes from that line-up, so I expect fresh legs,” added Reja.
“I absolutely don’t believed Juventus will have a drop in concentration levels, especially as they are accustomed to being top of the table and the sides behind them are keeping up the pressure.”
Atalanta are without a victory yet in 2016 and miss injured Mauricio Pinilla, Alejandro Gomez and Carlos Carmona.
