Is it better to have chained without blowing the whole end of the season to complete the championship or to have played only one match in competition since last March? Here is one of the questions surrounding the knockout stages of the Champions League second leg between Juve and OL on Friday (to be continued on RMC Sport).
Because it is the big gap between the champion team of Italy which has had to face a super busy schedule in recent weeks and the Lyonnais who lost on penalties against PSG on Friday, in the League Cup final, after seeing Ligue 1 definitively stopped on the 28th day due to coronavirus. A final that Maurizio Sarri also watched.
Dybala “is doing pretty well”
“I saw a large part of their match and I was surprised by the physical condition of the Lyonnais, admits the Italian after the defeat of Juve against Roma on the last day of Serie A. It will take that ‘we are good, we need to recharge the batteries, more mentally than physically. The physical resources are found in a few days, it is more difficult on the mental level. We have disconnected a little in the last matches, we have to reconnect for Lyon. “
While ensuring that a “little fear” has rather beneficial virtues in view of such a deadline. Still an unknown: the state of health of Paulo Dybala, victim of a strained thigh left. “He’s doing pretty well, he’ll be back on the pitch a bit this Sunday, we’ll see,” said Sarri soberly.
