TURIN (Reuters) - Juventus must play well and have a bit of luck to win their Coppa Italia semi-final second leg at Inter Milan on Wednesday after a 1-1 draw in Turin, said manager Massimiliano Allegri.
In last season’s final, Juve lost 4-2 to Inter after extra time and will be determined to make amends.
“We have to prepare ourselves with serenity and desire for revenge to reach an important goal like the Coppa Italia final. If we are good and lucky we will succeed, otherwise we will applaud Inter,” Allegri told reporters on Tuesday.
The Juve boss added that he hoped to avoid a repeat of the heated first leg that resulted in three red cards and an on-pitch clash immediately after the final whistle.
“Tomorrow must be a calm game, I hope everything goes smoothly because, in the end it’s a game of football.”
In an update on injuries, the coach said midfielder Paul Pogba would be available against Inter, but striker Moise Kean was sidelined due to muscular problems.
