Allegri: “We have to reach 40 points, so many are needed for the rescue”
Juventus’ 15-point deduction has completely changed their goals, with Europe looking like a distant dream and Massimo Allegri stressing ahead of the Salernitana game that, fun as it may be, the aim is to stay on top.
Juventus beat Lazio and kept their Coppa Italia dream alive with two games in the semi-final against last season’s cup winners Inter, but things are very different in the league and Massimo Allegri knows that better than anyone.
The 15-point penalty awarded to the Vecchia Signora for miscalculation dropped them to the bottom half of the table and put them out of contention for a European ticket, with coach Massimo Allegri making it clear ahead of the league game against Salernitana that he was doing it We first have to collect points in order to secure our place in the top division.
“We look at the table and the game against Salernitana is a fight that basically brings six points. It will be a difficult game in a difficult environment and it will be very important to approach it with the right approach.
We have to get 40 points (Juventus have 23 after 20 games now) that secure the rescue, it makes me laugh but that’s the situation.
The first goal is to catch up with the teams in front of us in the general standings.he stressed, adding that he couldn’t count on Bonucci, Pogba and Paredes in the away game against Salernitana.
