Football. ua represents the announcement of the rescheduled match of the twenty-sixth round of the Italian championship between Juventus and Atalanta.
Juventus and Atalanta could not hold the match of the twenty-sixth round of the championship of Italy because of the heavy snowfall that struck Turin. However, a few days later, on the last day of winter, they played in the Cup of Italy, after which the "old lady" received a ticket to the final.
Juventus - Atalanta Wednesday, March 14, 7:00 pm. Turin, Allianz Stadium. Referee - Maurizio Mariani Despite the fact that Atalanta, finishing last season in fourth place, is now not performing so well (the current eighth place), but clearly did not become weaker, as evidenced by at least the performances of Bergamaks in the European League. Now, when the extra load in the form of two cup tournaments fell off the shoulders of the team of Gian Piero Gasperini, "Orobichs" will certainly try to get through the successful performances in Serie A again in the League of Europe. Given that the backlog from Sampdoria is only three points (when the match is in reserve), the task does not seem so insoluble, you just need to lose as few points as possible (ideally - do not lose).
The main task of Juventus is also to climb up to the top of the standings, stay there and go to the full-time match against Napoli on April 22 with a point reserve, which allows not to put Scudetto at the meeting with the Neapolitans.
Both teams approach the match with a minimum personnel loss. The hosts will not be able under any circumstances to play Quadrado and Bernardeschi, and the guests - Caldara. However, it is possible that both Massimiliano Allegri and his colleague from Atalanta will rotate the formulations.

Words Massimiliano Allegri, the coach of Juventus:.
"We are only a few days are on the leading position, and to gain a foothold on it must necessarily win in every match. Napoli is here, he has not gone anywhere, and he still has excellent chances of scudetto. We have to play a few very difficult matches, including the current against Atalanta and a full-time meeting with the Neapolitans. Therefore, guessing in advance, there is no sense. It is necessary to move step by step. Napoli now has 70 points, which means that until the end of the season the team will be able to score 100. Thus, the championship "quota" is now a hundred points. To this minimum we will strive and we ".
Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta coach:.
"Our goal is to hold the championship, thinking about its priorities, not about someone's interests and ambitions. We voluntarily did not give way to anyone in any of the three tournaments in which we participated. It will not be this and now. Juventus, climbing to the top, is motivated by a thousand percent. But if we play with the same dedication, as in the fight for the Cup, we will have a chance of success ".
