Three days later, on Wednesday, April 29th.
Juventus welcomed Fiorentina at their home ground in Turin for their 33rd fixture of the 2014-15 Serie A season.
Coach Max Allegri was still maintaining his plan of resting his crucial players. He once again fielded a team almost full of second-stringers. But what excited most fans was that he bolstered the 'seemingly weak' starting squad with the addition of Zachary Bemba, Andrea Pirlo, Carlos Tevez, Leonardo Bonucci, and Giorgio Chiellini, who were all first-team players of the highest quality.
When asked why he hadn't rested all his first-team players for that game against Fiorentina during the pre-match press conference, he replied, "I don't want my players to get rusty before our semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund. I must balance resting them with giving them some game time for the next seven days."
