Juvemania: mission accomplished Champions. But now it's time for a good game! | First page

Mission accomplished

Mission accomplished.
Juventus wins in the last breath in Moscow, at the home of Lokomotiv, and qualifies for the first knockout round of the Champions League with two rounds of advance.
It was what was needed, it was the goal sought on the eve of everyone.
Decisive was a feat by substitute Douglas Costa (finally returned to his levels) at the end of a beautiful restart of the Bianconeri game (which triangulated with Higuain).
Once again the Juventus bench decided.

But what a pain

Listed immediately at the beginning of a piece all the positive things of the evening remains now only to report the rest.
Not even this time was enough to unlock the game right away to live a quiet evening. Guilherme's duck on Ronaldo's free kick that opened the door to Ramsey's opening goal was immediately balanced by Miranchuk's goal.
Once again the Juventus advantage lasted very little as in this strange custom that is occurring this season.
Then immediately afterwards in the rest of the race, despite the evident dominance of possession of the Old Lady, we witnessed the umpteenth challenge of this period in which the Juventus team playing under rhythm, creating few chances for goals and also risking to suffer the second (which Bonucci rescues in the circumstance!) still manages to win, obviously always of measure, thanks to the incoming substitute.
If someone says or tries to point out that this is a feature left by Allegri's Juve, he is invited to look ahead, at best.
The hand of Sarri, to be honest to the end, is still not seen as well as the long-awaited and notorious football show.

Sarri, what a courage

The results, however, are all on the part of the Mister, who, in replacing Cristiano Ronaldo with a score of 1 to 1, has also shown much courage.
As much as the Juventus team's bench is of enormous value, it takes a pulse to decide on a change in the Portuguese phenomenon (even if with a knee discomfort) when the result is still in the balance.
Of course, if the successor on duty is called Dybala, everything is easier, but his choice should not be diminished.
Now with the qualification to the knockout rounds in the safe it is also legitimate to expect new moves, as already hoped for even from the pages of this column, to find a brilliant idea that could bring the Juventus team to be beautiful as well as concrete. The time has come for the beautiful game.
The revolution, on the other hand, was born for this no?
