Juventus coach Max Allegri has expressed a lot of respect for AS Roma ahead of their next match this weekend. Juventus face another challenging test as they aim to secure the Serie A title or at least stay close to Inter Milan at the top of the table.
Despite facing some limitations in the current campaign, Allegri’s men have performed well. The next rival is Roma, a team with a strong squad led by coach José Mourinho and featuring outstanding players such as Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala.
While Roma may not be in the title race and have not been as consistent as Juventus, Allegri recognizes the capabilities of his opponents and does not underestimate the challenge they pose.
Speaking before the match, the Juve coach said, quoted by Calciomercato:
“We are in a good moment, but as we all know, football thrives on balance. We have to keep our feet on the ground, we have to think about tomorrow’s game and then we will see the classification. Roma is a grumpy team to face, with one of the best coaches on the bench, it does not give advantages, it has quality in attack. During this period, distractions are just around the corner.”
Juve FC says
AS Roma is a strong team to face. With José Mourinho as coach, we expect them to be very tactical.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t defeat them. We just need to be at our best to take advantage of the opportunities we create and the ones we have.
