With a great goal and an assist for Pereyra, the Argentine striker Tevez gives Juve yet another victory (2-0 over Empoli) who thus maintain a 14-point lead over Roma and 15 over Lazio and can now think with serenity about the return of Coppa Italia on Tuesday in Florence and in ten days' time the first Champions League match against Monaco

SERIE A CHAMPIONSHIP – Juventus also beat Empoli and maintain a 14-point lead

The tricolor march continues. The Juventus he doesn't know how to do anything other than win and he carries on his own triumphal ride towards the Scudetto. Not even an experimental formation, after a 'tiring' break (a large part of the squad has played with around the world) and with the match in Florence just around the corner, has affected the Lady's desire for success. Once again the absolute protagonist is Carlos Tevez: there is the risk of being repetitive but not praising it would be a crime. The Apache seemed destined for the bench, but Allegri decided to deploy him from the first minute, despite a time difference that could create some problems for him.

Apt choice, on the other hand, one like this cannot be left on the bench. First he broke the game with one free kick in the penalty area (43', back pass by Rugani considered voluntary by the referee), then he propitiated the 2-0 final for Pereyra (94'). In the middle of a race, technique and heart, an example for teammates and opponents. “He is an extraordinary player both in terms of football and character – the praise of Allegri. – He likes to move around the pitch, help the team. It's no surprise to me." And so the points in the standings are 70: 9 days from the end the scudetto is no longer in question, if anything, bets are accepted on when it will arrive mathematically. Ideal situation to do some experiments, waiting for the owners Pirlo, Marchisio e Pogba they come back available for European nights. Allegri tried new things everywhere: from defense (Ogbonna replacing Chiellini) to midfield, where Padoin was seen in the control room and Sturaro inside. Turnover also in attack with Morata on the bench and Llorente as owner: the feeling is that in Florence, on Tuesday evening, Juve will try to overturn the 1-2 draw with the best men. “We have a duty to believe in it, we're not out yet – confirmed Allegri. – I'm very happy with what the boys did, it wasn't easy. During the week, due to national teams, we never trained fully, and then Empoli are a very good team. I'm also happy about not conceding a goal for the fourth consecutive game, this will give us morale for Tuesday."

In Coppa Italia it will be in or out, an appetizer of what will happen in a couple of weeks in the Champions League. Yet the team continues to face the championship with great attention, a sign of a winning mentality without equal in Italy. The Scudetto is practically won but it will not be enough to satiate the Lady.
