Angelo Alessio, the assistant manager for Juventus, admitted that the sending off in the derby match against Torino was the turning point of the game
Antonio Conte is still suspended following the betting scandal; his sentence ends 8 December 2012. His understudy Alessio will only have to act as manager one more time in the UEFA Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Juve have to score just one more point to qualify for the round of 16.
“Conte will certainly be on the bench next time in Serie A. It’s the right moment for him to return,” said a relieved Alessio.
The Bianconeri were victorious in the Turin derby after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kamil-Glik-c20271, the defender for Torino, made a horrible tackling effort against Emanuele Giaccherini and got red carded.
“The red card changed the game, but it was also an inevitable decision from the referee.” observed the tactician. The Serie A champions have won the Turin derby 91 times out of a total of 225 attempts.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giorgio-Chiellini-c14963 who was looking forward to playing the derby had to be pulled back because of his persisting injury yet again. After the defender succumbed to the calf injury the side had to change to a 4-3-3 formation instead
of their usual 3-5-2.
“We have a basic system, which is the 3-5-2, but Chiellini did not feel ready to come back and asked for more time to fully recover so he can be fit for Wednesday. We did well with the four-man defence too," said the acting gaffer.
Paul Pogba struggled earlier during the match as well but regained his composure later on. He is a bright prospect for the Old Lady and the management is expecting that he will keep up his good work in order for the outfit for
them to have a decent chance in the Champions League round of 16.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Pogba made a few mistakes, but he is growing and showed some great things tonight. We need a great performance in the Champions League and must go for the victory," said the assistant coach.
Juve play Palermo next, Sunday December 9 in the Italian championship. The Champions League fixture against Shakhtar Donetsk takes place on 5 December.
