The top two clubs in the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between AS Roma and Juventus. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and can be live streamed here free.
After celebrating their third consecutive Scudetto, Juventus enter today's match looking to solidify their legacy. According to assistant coach Angelo Alessio, there's no telling how many more opportunities the club will have to do so with Antonio Conte at the helm (h/t to Forza Italian Football). "Antonio Conte is always pumped up, focused on the next game," Alessio said on Saturday.
"The tiredness does not exist. He prepares the game, as always, attentive to the details. I cannot answer about the future, we will see," he added.
"Antonio is good because he was able to bring Juventus back to their usual levels; he arrived after two seventh places in a row and with a great work and revolutionising the tactics he had in mind, he found the right scheme for every player."
"He managed to shape up a team that in three years has done amazing thing. He has to be given the credit. He is the number one in this moment. We know that because we work with him every day.
"When I played, I never had a coach that prepared the games in this ways and with his sports' nastiness."
