Arrigo Sacchi has urged Juventus to attack Atletico Madrid and to be as aggressive as they are, if they want to get a result at the Vicente Calderon.

The second matchday of the Champions League group stage sees Massimiliano Allegri take his team out to the Spanish capital looking to continue their European campaign with a second consecutive win.

For one former tactician to have worked in both Italy and Spain, Diego Simeone’s side are not to be taken lightly.

“They are a tactically very good team, compact, skilled in closing out the space,” Sacchi has explained to Tuttosport today.

“The second ball is almost always theirs, and this shows that they are well organised. They fight all the time and are very dangerous on set-pieces and in the counter-attack.

“This is even if they lack Diego Costa, now at Chelsea. He is a striker who is almost a single department by himself, whilst Mario Mandzukic is more of a finisher.

“Once again they have sold their best player, so Diego Simeone needs a little time to find a new balance.”

The former Milan and Atletico Coach was asked of Juve’s chances tomorrow evening.

“Juve are superior to Atletico in individual quality, there is no doubt. Simeone has lost key players such as Courtois, Filipe Luis and Diego Costa. The Bianconeri, on the contrary, have kept all their champions. They have also added Pereyra, who seems like a great player.

“Advice to Allegri? If they want to create trouble for Atletico, they must bring the battle to them.

“Face them with their weapons, attacking. Juve will have to implement a style of pressure like Atletico do, with an aggressive game.

“In Europe it is a different story compared to our League. If you play three defenders against three attackers it is fine, but to play a man behind, no, because then you have one less up front.

“Against Atalanta, however, I saw the Bianconeri growing, more aggressive. A great signal in view of Madrid.”
