Spalletti: ‘No Juventus calculations, not happy with Milan performance’
Spalletti: ‘No Juventus calculations, not happy with Milan performance’ Luciano Spalletti warns Juventus must not ‘make calculations’ for a top four finish, gives a Kenan Yildiz update, and admits he was ‘not happy’ with the 0-0 at Milan. It kicks off with already relegated Verona at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin on Sunday at 17. 00 UK time (18.
00 CEST). There will be a minute’s silence before kick-off in every Serie A match this weekend for Alex Zanardi, the legendary former Formula 1 driver who lost both legs in a crash, then became a champion Paralympian, who died this morning at age 59. “I wanted to start by remembering a truly unique man for his values, both in life and in sport, like Alex Zanardi.
I was fortunate enough to know him and what he passed on to others was indescribable,” said Spalletti at the start of his press conference.

“When I hear people talk about fourth place, I hear certain calculations, but you don’t get there with calculations, you do it by maintaining a certain consistency,” warned Spalletti. “We must focus on the Champions League and not on fourth place. We know full well what we did to get back into the top four, but there is a difference between needing to prove something and needing to defend something.
” Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik are out for the season, with Dusan Vlahovic back on the bench, but the big question mark is around Kenan Yildiz. “We all know how important Yildiz is for us, so we have to evaluate the bigger picture for his health. He had this little inflammation, his last two training sessions went very well and he felt no pain.
