“Allegri knows exactly what he must and must not do,” he has said, in an interview with Tuttosport.
“Juventus have given ample proof that they have the necessary attributes to accomplish great endeavours.
“This is one way among others to beat Real, by means of character.
“When you're at the level of a semi-final, very often small details determine whether you win or lose.
“It's like a Formula 1 race, in which a second won or lost makes the difference.
“If Juve are shape-shifting and cynical, they can do it. If spectacle and beautiful football cannot guarantee a victory, then you must change your tactical approach.
“When you think that the result comes before everything else, then you should take to the pitch with a knife between your teeth.”
