“How do you stop the Bianconeri? I wish I knew…” smiled the Coach in his Press conference.
“It is never easy to limit teams like Juve when they find form. We must primarily focus on playing our own football, as we have strong players and I believe in them. I see them every day and know they want to prove themselves.
“I also have extra motivation, as I’ve never beaten Juventus on my home turf. The Stadio Barbera crowd will be an added weapon in our armoury.”
Above all this fixture sees the return of Dybala to Palermo, though his old Coach Beppe Iachini was replaced by Ballardini earlier this month.
“It is a shame I never got to work with such a strong player. Today he’s at Juve and we are studying counter-measures to stop him.”
Roberto Vitiello, Michel Morganella, Francesco Bolzoni and Uros Djurdjevic are the only absentees.
Palermo squad for Juventus: Alastra, Colombi, Sorrentino; Andelkovic, Daprelà, El Kaoutari, Goldaniga, Gonzalez, Lazaar, Rispoli, Struna; Brugman, Chochev, Hiljemark, Jajalo, Maresca, Quaison, Rigoni; Gilardino, Trajkovski, Vazquez
