Juve pace worriess ancelotti

Football Italia


Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti admits that Juventus’ stunning start to the season has put his side under pressure.

"Seeing Juventus go so well does increase the heat on us," said the tactician whose side are already five points behind the Bianconeri.

"They have set off at quite a pace and that means that we must be alert for every single one of our games.

"However, I think that we are putting them under pressure too given our recent displays."

Juventus have dropped just two points so far this season and have won all of their Champions’ League games to date.

"I’m surprised by their consistency at both home and abroad," added the former Bianconeri boss. "But I’m convinced that we are still in with a chance, as are Inter."

The San Siro giants face Sampdoria on Saturday and the tactician expects a difficult encounter at the Stadio Marassi.

"Walter Novellino’s side is playing well right now as their win at Chievo on Wednesday illustrates," he added.

"Who will play? I will probably make a few changes to the side that beat Atalanta 3-0 and I think it is only right to do so.

"Shevchenko? He is a candidate to be rested even if I’m not saying whether he’ll do so tomorrow."

Two men who won’t be available are Pippo Inzaghi and Jaap Stam who are struggling with worrying injuries.
