Luigi Del Neri has a terrible record against Juventus, but hopes to end that taboo this afternoon.
“Juve are going through a great period of form, so we must be more careful than ever in every minutes of the match, then try to surprise them on the break.”
The Atalanta boss repeatedly lost to the Bianconeri when he was in charge of Chievo and admits he hasn’t had the best history with them.
“Usually when my teams avoid relegation, I pick up zero points against Juventus. Now, seeing as there is mathematically no chance of the drop, I hope to end this taboo.”
Cristiano Doni continues to sit out his ban, so Michele Paolucci is expected to partner Sergio Floccari upfront.
“This is his opportunity. I have faith in Paolucci and hope we can once again admire the player who did so well at Ascoli.”
Youth product Michele Marconi could also receive his Serie A debut at the Stadio Azzurri d’Italia.
“He was very close to playing in Naples, but I think it will be easier for him to taste Serie A for the first time in front of his own fans.”
