Spalletti reveals the "cards" before the challenge with Monaco and responds to Conte

Luciano Spalletti has no intention of underestimating Monaco on the eve of the final Champions League match. The Juventus coach, in an interview with Sky Sport, analyzed tomorrow's match against the Monegasque team, emphasizing the importance of the psychological aspect.

"There is no better situation than ours to show and raise awareness. We don't have the pressure of qualification and we can really see what level we are at, if we are mentally free to express our qualities and football," said Spalletti.

Monaco, currently with 9 points in the standings, desperately need a win to secure a place in the play-offs. For this reason, Spalletti expects a very tough match: "They will attack us to win, because they cannot keep the game open until the end. We will also play to win, because only that serves us to aim for something more. It will be a very open match against a very strong team. We have to be more of a team than them, because some of their players have superior quality. If we play a match with only physical clashes, it could backfire on us."

For the match at "Louis II", the white and black coach is expected to make some changes to the lineup, also due to fatigue and the presence of players at risk of cards: "We will change some players, because we played two days ago and we will play again in two days. Koopmeiners will play in midfield. We are evaluating Bremer, because we are also examining the condition of Gatti, who does not have 100 minutes on his feet. There may be a relay between them. Openda will play in attack".

Finally, Spalletti also touched on the recent controversies with Antonio Conte, minimizing them: "If these are Champions League topics... what are we talking about?".

While at the press conference he added with irony: "At first I thought it was artificial intelligence, then I realized it was real. I hope that in the Champions League there will be other topics, topics really from the Champions League."
