The Turin giants have had their matches postponed due to unplayable conditions, but the former Italian coach thinks Juve’s momentum would remain intact.
Two Serie A matches of the Old Lady were put-off until a later date by Italian football authorities due to inclement weather conditions.
The first one to be rescheduled was the matchday 21 game against Parma, and the other against Bologna last weekend.
Juventus have been in prime form, and have remained unbeaten in all domestic competitions throughout the course of the season. However, after beating Udinese in their last game, A.C Milan have leapfrogged them to the top of the
table.
With a hectic fixture list awaiting the Turin giants in March, Lippi is of the opinion that there will not be any added pressure on his former side.
The away games to Parma and Bologna will be midweek trips for the Turin side. However, the Old Lady finds breathing space due to their non-appearance in this year’s European tournaments.
Lippi is optimistic about the chances of his former side to maintain their supremacy in the Serie A. The veteran was giving an interview to La Stampa, in which he said,
"I do not think that it will affect their path [towards the title].If the team had to deal with these changes earlier in the season, maybe it could have disturbed them. But now the team have grown tremendously and they are aware
of their own strength."
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 manager is confident that the extended break will not halt the team’s momentum, and they will return stronger. The 63-year-old also added,
"Especially since they were notified of the postponement of the Bologna game ahead of their journey. Unlike the other time with Parma, Juventus stayed at home and were able to train."
If Juventus are successful in winning one of their two matches in hand, they would move above the Rossoneri in the Serie A standings. They are currently placed 2nd in the Serie A standings with 45 points from 21 matches
played thus far.
The Turin giants will play Parma on Wednesday, 15 February.
