Juventus, the numbers of Sarri remain positive: but the latita show

December 2, 2019

TURIN – The overtaking of Inter after Juventus' half-misstep with Sassuolo has revitalized the fight for the championship, giving new ideas for the analysis of the path taken by the Bianconeri so far. However, the balance remains broadly positive: it could not be defined otherwise as a roadmap that, to date, has not yet known the bitter taste of defeat neither in the league nor in the Champions League. Compared to last year the competition has changed, with Inter decidedly more constant and continuous, highlighting every slowdown of Juventus. Furthermore the criticism of the Bianconeri derives more than anything else from the expectations on the Sarrian revolution, much awaited by the fans after Allegri's pragmatism: yet the show, if we exclude the big matches always faced with the right approach by the Bianconeri, latita. Against Sassuolo, Juventus woke up after going down in the score: the Bianconeri created and pulled hard without realizing, excluding the penalty scored by Ronaldo.

Juve in trouble, Sarri must change

Bentancur and Emre Can

Sarri tried to revitalize Emre Can, often on the sidelines in the league and excluded from the Champions list, a choice that generated a split between the German and the coach. Can's response was decidedly disappointing, spiced up with errors and little personality. The exact opposite of Rodrigo Bentancur, the happiest note of the Juventus midfield: after the great test with Atletico, the Uruguayan unleashed another performance over the top giving dynamism and phosphorus to the Juventus median. "In the first half we were too long and we allowed some restart – the Bentancur analysis after the draw with Sassuolo -. We suffered a little but in the second half we came out with the right mentality. Something was naturally missed to win the game but I think it should be sought after in terms of malice ".
The overtaking of Inter gives pepper to the championship and to the championship race but does not alter the morale and mission of the bianconeri: "Nothing changes, we do our job and we don't look at what others are doing".
