The whistle blower from Marche will have Leonardo Camillucci and Alessandro Marinelli in support on the sidelines. The fourth official will be Luca Albertini.When the draw was made on May 21st, Filippo Galli, in charge of the youth sector of the rossoneri, stated about Juventus “We know about their strengths and how much they want to win the championship, but we’ll give everything on the pitch. Juventus won their group in style. Semi final? We obtained 53 points just as Inter did, and our team has values that are not just technical as they have proved themselves in difficult moments. The final talking will be done on the pitch, but we will certainly arrive motivated for this difficult fixture”.“When you get to this point” – Juventus coach Marco Baroni said – “you need to realize that every opponent is dangerous. Last year we saw Varese go in to the final and when I coached Siena a few years ago we were a whisper away from the scudetto. We will see a quality Milan side, but we have to think about ourselves. For two months we’ve known about this match and we’re well prepared, even without those away playing for Italy”.
The winner between the rossoneri and the bianconeri will meet (in Gubbio on June 6th), the winner between Inter and Palermo. On the other side of the draw, Roma-Varese and Lazio-Torino. The final is also in Gubbio, on Saturday 9th June.
