Impressive for several weeks, Juventus took a huge correction against Naples (5-1) on Friday in Serie A. A historic defeat for the Old Lady who never managed to make the weight.
Alex Sandro and Locatelli had a nightmare in Naples.
Eight games, eight wins, 13 goals scored, 0 conceded. It had been a long time since Juventus had been so convincing and above all very solid. It nevertheless took a single evening to shatter all the certainties of the Old Lady.
Heaviest defeat in 30 years
On Friday, the Turin club went through hell. In the shock of the 18th day of Serie A, the Bianconeri took a standard rouste Naples (5-1). In the San Paolo cauldron, Angel Di Maria’s partners only lasted a quarter of an hour before being caught in the sky-blue whirlwind. Victor Osimhen, Khvisha Kvaratskhelia, Piotr Zielinski, Stanislav Lobotka, the Turinese were picked up with a teaspoon, multiplying the errors of inattention and reminders, the image of this ball lost by Bremer on the fourth goal conceded, which sums up only the provision of the club.
To see Juventus being carried around on a lawn in the Italian championship, it does not happen often. Almost never. To find the trace of such a slap in Serie A, you have to go back to May 30, 1993. That is almost 30 years. At the time, Giovanni Trapattoni’s men, who had nevertheless opened the scoring in the 2nd minute through Fabrizio Ravanelli, lost Pescara (5-1). The irony of fate? Massimiliano Allegri scored twice for Abruzzi. The Turin manager can say that he was there. Rather twice than one.
Allegri relativizes the defeat
At the end of the game, the 55-year-old tried to put this heavy defeat into perspective. We came into this match with less energy. Congratulations to Napoli, who fully deserve their victory. It is a defeat more than deserved. Napoli prove that they are currently the strongest team. We must now get up and move forward, above all not to become demoralized to resume our path, continue to grow judged the former AC Milan technician, who had offered himself a break after several weeks of stringing good results.
Let’s not forget that we are coming off a streak of eight straight wins. It is better to lose once 5-1 than five times 1-0 added the main interested party. These are evenings that happen in a season. There’s nothing to do when it’s not working for you… It almost makes me want to smile, so nothing has gone in our favor. We made mistakes, it’s true, but nothing wanted to smile on us. We all pay cash. There is always a game in the year where the opponent scores every time he strikes. A hard comeback makes it real.
