Forget the bad Champions League defeat against Stuttgart, trying to win the first direct clash of the season and get in the wake of league leaders Napoli. This is the goal of Juventuson the eve of the delicate and at the same time electrifying match against Inter. The Bianconeri, after a promising start to the season, have fallen a bit in recent weeks – with the exception of the feat in Leipzig – and they really need a commitment like the Italian derby to give a definitive turning point to their year.
Thiago Motta’s statements
The Juventus coach makes pre-tactics in view of the big match, in terms of formation (4-2-3-1 with Yildiz confirmed in the trio behind Vlahovic, but surprises are not excluded) but also in terms of declarations. In fact, regarding the championship fight, Motta declares: “It is objective that the favorites in the championship are Napoli and Inter. Tomorrow we have to face Inter with concentration and courage.”
Not a sign of fear, therefore, but an attempt to put more pressure on the Nerazzurri’s shoulders than on their own. Normal dialectical skirmishes – Inzaghi then responded -, in view of the real confrontation on the pitch: “Juventus must play their game as they always have. The match has its own history as always. We have to bring the game to our side. We must be concrete and increase the chances of putting the match on our side.”
