Juventus resumed preparations for the match against Celta Vigo, with the team on the pitch at 11am and then leaving for Spain after lunch. Once they arrive in Vigo, the team will go to the stadium for the walkaround and, at 6.50pm, Spalletti and a player will speak at a press conference. The European match is a crucial event for the Bianconeri, who must find continuity after a period of fluctuating results and manage the subsequent commitments, including the match against Lazio.
The coach from Certaldo has already started studying possible lineup changes. In particular, it seems that Alajbegović could return to the starting position on the left, while the choice for the right wing remains uncertain between Conceição and Nico González, as Zhegrova is not present in the UEFA list and cannot be used. Final decisions will depend on the indications of the last training session. In defence, Spalletti could review Cambiaso's position, while Celik did not take the field last time to manage the workload. The objective is to present themselves for the European challenge with a competitive team, without neglecting the next championship round.
Spalletti is aware of the pressure on the team. Juventus have shown that they can build play, but often lack the "malice" necessary to transform opportunities into goals. After the defeat in the Champions League against Galatasaray, the team alternated good results with missteps, with a pace that was too fluctuating for a team that has made victory its trademark. The coach must find solutions to make the team more incisive in the final meters and to prevent matches from turning into wasted opportunities.
The match against Celta Vigo represents an opportunity to regain confidence and demonstrate that we have learned from mistakes. Spalletti must intervene on the problems that have emerged in recent weeks, finding balance, continuity and above all the determination that has so far been missing in decisive moments. With European and championship commitments at the end, every match will have an important weight, and Juventus must reverse course once and for all.
