Very badly launched in its season, Juventus has seriously raised the bar. On a series of eight consecutive victories in Serie A, the Old Lady dreams of a coronation still unexpected before the World Cup in Qatar.
Allegri smiled again.
Juventus are no longer the best club in Italy. After winning nine titles in Serie A, the Turin team saw the two Milan teams share the Scudetto in turn. An already long wait that the supporters saw lengthening after the Bianconeri’s failed start to the exercise.
A concrete defense
Only, Juventus is better. Much better. Despite early elimination in the first round of the Champions League, the Massimiliano Allegri band raised the bar spectacularly in the league. Since his defeat against AC Milan (2-0) on October 8, the Old Lady has been intractable. The balance sheet? 8 games, 8 wins. More impressively, the Pimontais scored 13 goals for… 0 conceded! A steel defense that easily repelled teams like Inter (3-0) or Lazio (2-0).
Make the round back to better have its opponents wear, Juventus knows how to do. She scored only twice in the first period on this series. All the other victories took place after the hour mark. The last two, against Cremonese (1-0) and Udinese (0-1), after the 86th minute. And very often, it was the young people who made the difference: Moise Kean, Nicolo Fagioli or even Dusan Vlahovic. Solid defense and fiery youth, the equation found since the fall is good.
A shock Naples in five days
Shaken a few weeks ago, Allegri has regained confidence. And made it known after the success Udine. We are on a mission. We have to raise the bar in terms of performance. We conceded a few shots in the second half but responded by creating chances. It’s a big win. We must continue to work in silence to get closer to the first places said the Italian technician at a press conference.
Stuck in the soft underbelly of the championship in early October, Juventus find themselves temporarily in 2nd position before Milan’s match against Roma on Sunday. A shock which will precede that of the Turinese against the leader, Naples, scheduled for next Friday. A huge display between the co-best attack (37 goals), which has one game less and 4 points ahead, and the best defense (7 goals), which could give indications in the race for the title. It’s up to Juventus to confirm.
