Bianconeri boss Maurizio Sarri says an attacking triumvirate
of Ronaldo, Dybala and Higuain can't work at Juventus due to the
characteristics of the players.
"Right now, playing three forwards is difficult due to
the characteristics of the players," he said at a media conference.
"You can't prohibit Dybala from dropping deep, and at
the same time Cristiano's characteristics are not to play too central. We must
take some precautions to fill the penalty area more.”
He nonetheless expressed confidence in the players' ability
to bounce back from their draw with Sassuolo in their last league game.
Today, Juventus face third-placed Lazio at the Stadio
Olimpico. To this effect, he said: "It's normal that after Champions
League games there's a drop in energy, mentality and confidence.
"But from what I've seen in training I'm confident. As
always, we have to respond on the pitch, getting three points is always
important regardless of the game.
"It will be an important matchday for the teams high up
in the table, I hope that our motivations are high.
"Lazio are a strong team with great quality. They are
the best in Italy and among the best in Europe for getting into the
last 25 metres. We need to keep them away from our area because they are very
dangerous.
"Based on the average amount of points that they are
picking up, Lazio have to be in the conversation for the fight for top.
"I expect a strong approach from Lazio, who will be
very determined. We will have to resist it, come out and dictate the game how
we want to."
