EUROPA LEAGUE: JUVENTUS CLOSE TO FULL-STRENGTH FOR SEVILLA GAME

With the absence of defender Gleison Bremer, Juventus coach Massimilano Allegri will have a full roster to pick from for the first leg of its Europa League semifinal against Sevilla in Turin on Thursday.

The 26-year-old international from Brazil has missed three of Juventus’ last four Serie A games.

Bremer has a strain and won’t play tomorrow. Allegri stated during a press conference on Wednesday that the other players were in good condition.

Allegri stated that his squad had to put up a fantastic performance in light of Sevilla’s illustrious history in this competition, which it has won a record six times.

The entire team, especially the substitutes, will be crucial tomorrow, he said.

We must adopt the same strategy as in our previous games, which entails respecting our opponents and taking advantage of their weaknesses.

Allegri thinks his group is developing.

“Juve has recently participated in two European finals, and we hope to get there as well. We now have the three most crucial weeks of all ahead of us, he continued.

We must follow through on our commitment to giving our all on the field and seeing where it leads.

Angel Di Maria, a winger, has a chance to win one of the few significant awards that have escaped him.

It’s a trophy that I only ever used to play for Benfica once. I’m focused on the trophy I’m missing, but all trophies are significant to me, the Argentinean said.

The 35-year-old Di Maria brushed away questions concerning his future.

I’m content here, and my family is too. We’re in discussions with the team, but at the moment I’m only thinking about Sevilla,” he stated.

Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar of Sevilla claimed that his team was prepared for a tense battle against Juventus.

The secret will be maintaining composure at all times and understanding how to handle every minute of the game. We must maintain our composure and focus, he continued.

We are aware that we are capable of defeating Juventus on any given day.

The second leg will be played on May 18.
