SERIE A CHAMPIONSHIP - Juventus unstoppable: conquers Bologna (2 to 0) and tries to escape

Juve goes on the run, will the others be able to take it back? The advance of the 15th day once again certifies the superiority of the Lady. Not that the trip to Bologna was insurmountable, but the bianconeri win even when they play with 6/11 of the starting line-up, moreover with a decisive European away match at the door. In addition to the unavailable Pirlo, Conte played without Bonucci, Lichtsteiner, Asamoah and, at least initially, Tevez and Llorente. He won all the same, and now he's enjoying the championship weekend at +6 over Roma and at +9 over Napoli. With one more match, of course, but also with the awareness that the opponents will take the field with the pressure of those who are "forced" to win. A nice advantage for the team that has worn the Scudetto on its chest for two years and which, contrary to what was thought at the beginning of the season, is far from sated with victories

The maxi turnover hypothesized on the eve is confirmed by the official formations. Conte lines up Ogbonna in central defence, Isla and Peluso on the flanks, Quagliarella and Vucinic in attack. The fear that the team could be affected by so many new things vanishes immediately. Juve started off convinced and took the lead after just 13 minutes with Vidal, undoubtedly the man of the moment. The Chilean thus celebrates the renewal of the contract signed during the week, the Lady thanks and enjoys the umpteenth center of the season. For half an hour the game doesn't exist, because there are only the black and whites on the pitch. Bologna relies on some personal initiative from Diamanti, for the rest it struggles to contain the excessive power of the Italian champions, let alone worry them...

In the second half Pioli tries to gain a few meters by inserting the offensive Laxalt in place of the hound Perez, but the attempt does not bring great results. Llorente, who came on in the first half for the injured Vucinic, came close to scoring with a nice right foot, then missed another one face to face with Curci. On the following counter-attack came Bologna's most interesting opportunity, but Cristaldo's shot ended up just wide of Buffon's goal. The bianconeri smelled the joke and went back to looking for the goal with insistence. Marchisio sees Curci deflect a close shot for a corner, Llorente devours his third chance of the evening by kicking at the Bolognese goalkeeper himself. It seems like a curse, then Chiellini takes care of it. As a corner develops, the defender anticipates everyone and sends the ball into the net with a powerful and precise header. It therefore ends 0-2, with Juventus celebrating their seventh consecutive victory, moreover without conceding goals. Now it's really time to think about the Champions League and a qualification that cannot and must not escape such an army.
