Massimiliano Allegri doesn’t want to leave out Paulo Dybala for the Coppa Italia final and he’s developed a plan to deploy the forward against Inter.
The 28-year-old Argentinian forward scored his 115th Juventus goal in the 2-1 loss to Genoa on Friday, joining Roberto Baggio in ninth place in the club’s all-time top scorer list. He started in that match alongside Dusan Vlahovic, leaving Alvaro Morata on the bench. Many thought that this was a hint that the Spaniard would start in place of Dybala in the final, but Allegri has a plan.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Dybala’s stock has risen following a decent performance against Genoa and Allegri doesn’t want to sacrifice him for the Coppa Italia final against Inter, a must win game after a disappointing season.
The plan is to line-up the Bianconeri in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Juan Cuadrado and Alvaro Morata playing out wide, leaving Vlahovic central up front and playing Dybala just behind him.
For now it’s just one plan of many and it could also be used as the game progresses, but it’s certainly something that Allegri is considering as the Coppa Italia final approaches.
🤔 Max Allegri tiene dudas sobre si poner o no a Paulo Dybala en la final de Coppa Italia. Le gustó el partido del argentino en el Marassi y podría pasar al 4-2-3-1 con Dybala de mediapunta.
