Follow usJuventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri is pleased with what his club have achieved in the transfer market this summer, although the Old Lady have only brought in Timothy Weah and Facundo Gonzalez.
The Biaconeri started the season with an impressive 3-0 win over Udinese, but were held to a surprise 1-1 draw by Bologna in the second round. On Sunday, Juve will visit Empoli, which the coach described as a treacherous match.
“Games like tomorrow’s are full of traps, but it’s in Empoli’s DNA. We will find a team that can counter this. We have to play a solid game and we must not underestimate them. We don’t have a starting defense, but six defenders, any of whom can start. Tomorrow it will probably be Bremer and Danilo, I am hesitating between Alex Sandro and Federico Gatti. Szczesny is improving, but he is also not ready yet. He will probably be able to return to the field after the break for the national teams,” said the Italian.
“Now the transfer market is closed, so we can safely think about tomorrow’s match. There was no point in doing anything in the transfer market just to replace some faces with others. Now we have a competitive team in prospect and we believe in it. I think Vlahovic is doing better than last year. He looks better physically, scored goals in the first two games, and that is important for a striker. Also, we have a new year for Chiesa and Pogba. The latter must be managed well so that he can play until he reaches peak form. The boys will still grow up,” the specialist added.
