David beats Goliath. Against all odds the Parma wins the advance with the Juventus and gives the championship a good story, although, most likely, an end in itself. In fact, Tardini's 1-0 draw is unlikely to reopen the championship and the same goes for both: the bianconeri, at worst, would find themselves more than 11 ahead of Roma, the ducals, at best, less than 10 from fourth last Atalanta .
And in any case next Wednesday, on the same day that Donadoni's boys will face Genoa (recovery of the 25th), the bankruptcy judge could also decree the bankruptcy of the club (Lega and Albertini will push to close the season). In short, Parma will play the most important matches in the courts, yet, in recent weeks, they seem to forget it every time they take the field. Yesterday's success is not accidental, even though Juventus put their own into it.
As expected on the eve Allegri implemented a mass turnover, sending a very experimental team onto the field and far from the one that usually wins easily against anyone. Inevitable three days from Monaco and from the Champions League that steals physical and mental energy, yet it was expected that the victory, one way or another, would come anyway.
And instead the Parma of donadoni, who sponsored the shirts yesterday by paying 15 euros out of his own pocket, proved to be a true opponent by taking advantage of the situation and taking home three sensational points. Decisive goal by Jose Mauri, one we will hear about, very good at sending a ball under the crossbar from the edge of the area (60'). At that point Juve, already confused and not "on track", tried to get back on their feet but failed.
And Allegri, on the eve of preaching many other projects, did not take it well at all. “Unfortunately we did little in the first half and nothing in the second – he blurted out almost without a voice in the press conference. – You can't play these games at pace otherwise you lose them: we didn't win a tackle... Too bad, with 8 games to go it would have been important to keep the advantage over the Romans, we could have ended the championship and instead we will have to stay with our antennas raised" .
Beyond the clamorous debacle, there is no need to cause alarm for Tuesday: in fact, it will be a completely different Juve against Monaco, starting with the men who will take the field. “It will be a completely different match – confirmed Allegri. – When you lose then there is almost always a positive psychological repercussion, we hope it will serve as a lesson for us”. And then below with the Champions League, filing this slide under the heading "episodes". Because there will be no presents on Tuesday night.
