It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 20.00 GMT. ............ Does Chiellini wish he could step onto the pitch and play a game like this? “My calf muscles do not agree,” he laughed. “Today is a decisive match, Pafos are a team to be respected, but we absolutely must win today in order to continue our Champions League progress and get back on track after the defeat to Napoli. “Our regrets remain not just at the loss, but how it came about.” ............ “Luciano spoke and sent out the same signals within the locker room as he does in the press room. He needed to push them, because it’s true that we’ve all got to do better.” ............ “We knew that Zhegrova would struggle for fitness at the start, but now he’s doing better and we are starting to see something special in training,” added Chiellini. “He might have a half in him today or a little more, but it’ll be good if he can show from the start what he’s provided in the final 15 minutes so far.” ............ “I think Spalletti immediately got in sync with the squad and is here to enjoy this adventure. I think of him as being here long-term, not just until June,” assured Chiellini. “The players can see that when they do what he asks, it can work. There’s a lack of consistency at the moment, we are a work in progress, and there is great faith in what he can bring to Juve today. “At the end of the season, we will sit down, and I’d be happy for us to continue together.” .
