Juve also wins when they draw. In fact, the 1-1 draw in Udine cannot be interpreted as a misstep, not after the defeat of Roma on Saturday or that of Napoli last week against Atalanta. The bianconeri gain a point on the second and thus bring the advantage to 8 lengths: it is not yet time to talk about mathematics but the Scudetto is certainly getting closer and closer.
“The standings are excellent but that doesn't mean we've already won – glossed Allegri at the press conference. – It would have been important to win in Udine, but we came from many demanding matches and they put us in difficulty by playing very well. We accept this draw, after all, you need points to get to the end".
His team knows it well, so much so that until yesterday they had never drawn in the league. However, the "first time" is worth almost as much as a success, also in light of the excellent performance by Delneri from Udinese, who took the field to play with her weapons and was able to really put the Lady in difficulty.
The hosts showed greater physical and mental freshness than their rivals, it is no coincidence that they took the lead first with Zapata, good at jumping Bonucci and mocking Buffon with a shot under his legs (37'). In the second half, Juventus tried to pick up the pace and put the Friulians there, but without making themselves particularly dangerous, at least until the 60th minute.
At that moment Bonucci took the chair, redeeming the mistake in the first half with a header to make it 1-1. In other moments, probably, the bianconeri would have pushed on the accelerator to complete the comeback, given the current standings, however, even a draw is fine and in fact the final forcing was decidedly less "bad" than usual.
One more point remains in the rankings, but above all a + 8 on Rome that speaks for itself. The Scudetto is still up for grabs but the Lady is getting closer to stitching it back on her chest.
