Juve-Maccabi, Allegri’s dilemma. Meanwhile, Pogba pleases the fans

TURIN – At the exit of the Training Center of the Juventus there are not a few people waiting: it is an image that recurs every day, because net of a difficult start to the season, the passion of the people for those unmistakable colors does not go out, on the contrary. There is Paul Pogba who stops aboard his car to take selfies and sign autographs with Juventus baby-fans, like Alessandro who receives the most beautiful and desired wishes for his birthday: “Happy birthday Ale!” whispers the Octopus and from now on onwards the life of the little one will never be the same again. Inside the JTC, Massimiliano Merry makes its tests in view of the Maccabi Haifa, which will not be Real Madrid champions of Europe, but which for the occasion must be considered on a par with the merengues: it would not be good and right if Juve underestimated the opponent or equated the match on Wednesday night with a sort of health walk.

Doubts and certainties
Among the dilemmas in the mind of the Juventus coach is the choice of the game system: defense at 3 or at 4? At the moment it is entirely possible that Juventus will side with the same 3-5-2 already seen against Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica and which, evidently, did not lead very well in terms of qualification for the round of 16 Champions Leaguehowever, it is also true that the module with 4 defenders lined up against Bologna worked. Danilo-Bremer-Bonucci-Alex Sandro or De Sciglio on one side; Danilo-Bonucci-Bremer on the other. The goal is of course the double victory in the space of a week against the Israelis, also to justify the long awaited return of Pogba, who since that damned 23 July has not been seen on the fields where he played the game. Juve. Paul has a craving to get to work and test his condition with the black and white on.
