Luciano Spalletti, head coach of Juventus, is focused on the upcoming Serie A match against Sassuolo. Immediately after the game, he plans to discuss his future with the club, aiming to extend his contract until 2027 with an option for the following season. Spalletti expressed a positive relationship with both players and staff, stating that he feels appreciated and respected by them.
Success in Bodo and the Road Ahead
Reflecting on Juventus’s last match against Bodo, Spalletti emphasized that the victory was not guaranteed. He acknowledged the significant challenges that come with playing under pressure but considered these moments as privileges. “Qualification for the Champions League changes everything for a player,” he noted, underlining the importance of this upcoming match.
Preparing for Sassuolo
Juventus’s match against Sassuolo is crucial as a win would elevate them to fourth place in Serie A. Spalletti conveyed that the team must recognize and adapt to match moments, emphasizing strategic decision-making on the field. He is wary of the strengths of Sassuolo, noting their impressive ability to play from the back under coach Fabio Grosso.
Vlahovic’s Availability and Tactical Adjustments
One key player in question for the match is Dusan Vlahovic, whose participation will be decided shortly before the game. Spalletti hinted at the possibility of employing a lighter attacking lineup, featuring Boga as a central forward, with Conceiçao and Yildiz on the flanks. He emphasized that even if Vlahovic is unavailable, the team has strong depth on the bench to adapt during the match.
Goalkeeping Dilemma
The coach is faced with a decision regarding the goalkeeper position, favoring Mattia Perin over Michele Di Gregorio. However, both keepers are currently performing well, and Spalletti remains undecided until just before the kickoff.
