The enthusiasm for Juventus fans is at its best.  Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri declaring on his press conference ahead of Juventus vs Chievo Verona for the Serie A Week 31 game on Saturday 8 April 2017 at the Juentus Stadium at 20:45.

For  Allegri, “Three points on Saturday are essential for our push to a sixth straight Scudetto. We won’t be thinking about Barcelona until the day after”.”

Situation is crucial for Juventus because they are playing in all three fronts:  Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League.   Allegri is clear stating that “We won’t be thinking about Barcelona until Sunday, because we can’t afford to slip up against Chievo, who are very well organised and experienced. We need to be on our toes throughout and make sure we avoid any lapses in concentration.  Roma could reach 92 points this season, so we need at least 93 to be mathematically certain of sealing the Scudetto. Therefore, we’ve still got to win plenty more matches.”

We might see changes in Juventus lineup as expressed by Allegri during the press conference, “I could well deploy Paulo Dybala as a centre-forward tomorrow. He played 70 minutes on Wednesday, so he could do with more game time. The more Paulo plays, the better it is for his physical condition.  It’s unlikely that Mario Mandzukic will be available tomorrow, while Marko Pjaca is out injured, making it even more necessary that Dybala features against Chievo.  Claudio Marchisio could return to the fold tomorrow. I’ll decide whether to rest Sami Khedira. Miralem Pjanic played only at the end of Wednesday’s game. I’ll make my mind up about the midfield later today.”

Concentration for Juventus is a must against Chievo Verona and remain focused on the winning path and the possibility to win all 3 competences.   Allegri says,  “What’s important is that we don’t fall into the trap of imagining what could happen at the end of the season. We need to be at the races, particularly against teams such as Chievo and, later in the month, Pescara and Genoa. These are three matches that could have a huge bearing on the Serie A title.  Reaching the Coppa Italia final definitely acts as a psychological boost for us going into the final weeks of the campaign, but we must keep up the momentum.  Our aim is to win all three competitions and we’ve the chance to become legends by lifting a sixth straight Scudetto title. We simply must not let this opportunity pass us by.”
