Spalletti changes Juventus’ pre-match routine for Napoli clash

Multiple sources claim that Juventus will travel to Naples on Sunday morning as Luciano Spalletti seeks to keep the team focused and prevent any distractions or disturbances on the eve of the match.

Juventus coach Spalletti will change the team’s pre-match routine this weekend as the Bianconeri won’t travel for their away game to Napoli on the eve of the match, as they usually do.

Juventus travel to Napoli on the day of the game

According to Sky Sport Italia and Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri will make the 870-km trip, circa 1h30m flight, on Sunday morning as Spalletti wants to avoid disturbances in Naples on the eve of the game.

Predictably, Juventus won’t get a friendly welcome in town.

It is no secret that, in the past, Bianconeri players struggled to get proper rest on the eve of games against the Partenopei due to Napoli fans’ chants and firecrackers set off outside the team’s hotel.

Spalletti wants to avoid interference in Naples

According to the reports, Spalletti, Napoli’s Serie A title-winning coach in 2022-23, wants to avoid this sort of interference; therefore, the Old Lady will only fly to Naples on the day of the game and return to Turin straight after full-time.
