Prandelli looks at Juve-Milan :' Chiellini is a guarantee, Barzagli is doing great'

Cesare Prandelli laughs off recent criticism of Giorgio Chiellini and looks ahead to Juventus-Milan. “It’s going to be very interesting.”
The Italy Coach was asked for his predictions on Sunday night’s big Scudetto showdown.

“One set of players have the Scudetto symbol on their chests, the other is trying with great determination to get back to the top of Italian football after a few years that ended badly,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“They are two important teams and without doubt it is going to be a very interesting match.”

The media has been harsh towards Juventus defender Chiellini so far this season, but Prandelli has not lost faith in the Italian international.

“Chiellini is a guarantee. Andrea Barzagli is also doing well in the Juve defence. As for Milan, Antonio Cassano has been strong since the start of the season, so he just needs to keep it consistent.”

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli is looking forward to a potential mouthwatering clash as Juventus prepare to welcome AC Milan in Serie A's big game on Sunday night.

The Turin outfit currently sit at the top of the table league along with Udinese following an unbeaten start to the campaign.

Milan, on the other hand, have stumbled early in the season, but are coming off a 2-0 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League.

Prandelli is not voting for either side, but he is expecting to be entertained as he hailed Juve's progress under Antonio Conte.

"Two great teams will play each other, Milan are champions, while Juventus are second to no-one," Prandelli is quoted as saying by La Repubblica.

"Juventus have conviction in their play and I am sure it will be a great game."

Antonio Cassano continues to impress for his side and the coach was pleased to see the Italy international score against Plzen.

"Antonio has started well and he must continue like this," Prandelli said.

Kick-off at the Juventus Arena is at 2045 (CET).
