Allegri lauds “extraordinary” Angel Di Maria

IF24 Desk

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke to Sky Sport following his team’s friendly victory over Croatian side Rijeka.

The Italian tactician discussed his team’s formation and if he has any plans to change his set-up in order to accommodate veteran attacker Angel Di Maria.

“Those coming back from the World Cup are in good shape,” Allegri told Sky Sport.

“But they need to get back to match fitness, thankfully we’ll have the Brazilians with us on December 27th. We’ll give the Argentines and Rabiot a few more days.”

“As for the formation, there isn’t any issue. From now until the end of the season, we’ll play a minimum of 26 games and potentially up to 36 in total.”

“We’re going to need everyone available. Di Maria was fantastic in the World Cup final, he’s an extraordinary player. He’ll be an added value for us in the second half of the season.”
