Going back to Juve. So to win, because the real anomaly of 2016 is not so much in its development as in the ending. The defeat in Doha annoyed and left some aftermath in the environment, at least according to the rumors around Vinovo, which tell of a certain intolerance in the face of Allegri's (televised) outburst. “Nothing sensational happened, just an outburst from a coach who cares about his job – explained the coach. – Games can also be lost but we left the field after 35 minutes, this made me very angry. But I've read so many absurd things, I'm happy to be at Juventus and I hope to stay there as long as possible." All resolved in short, at least in words. Because then, as always in football, the results will decide what to do, especially in a club like the black and white one, which is extremely disliked by the concept of defeat. Then there is the transfer market, not so much incoming (after Rincon another midfielder will arrive but there is no hurry) as outgoing. Evra seems ever closer to Valencia (alternatively there is Manchester United), Real Madrid are dangerously targeting Paulo Dybala: hot topics that do not leave Allegri alone. “I'm against the January transfer market, all these rumors only create instability – admitted the coach. – The less he talks the better, then we will see what happens”. Better to think of Bologna then and of tonight's match (20.45 pm): everyone takes it for granted, the Juventus coach doesn't. “Commitments after the stops are always complicated – he explained. – In addition, they have always created problems for us, we have to be very careful because it is important to keep the advantage over Roma unchanged". Juve will face it without Buffon (not called up) and with a 4-3-1-2 that will see Neto in goal, Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Chiellini and Asamoah (Evra, pending transfer, won't even be on the bench) in defence. Khedira, Marchisio and Sturaro in midfield, Pjanic in the frontline behind the attacking couple Higuain-Dybala. 4-3-3 instead for Donadoni's Bologna who will attempt the coup with Mirante between the posts, Krafth, Maietta, Gastaldello and Masina in the back department, Donsah, Nagy and Dzemaili in the midfield, Rizzo, Destro and Krejici in the offensive trident. The bianconeri will take the field already knowing the result of Roma, engaged in the afternoon (15 pm) in Marassi against Genoa. Treacherous away match for Spalletti's men: in fact, the Rossoblu literally know how to transform themselves when they play in their own stadium. "They have already beaten Milan and Juventus" sighed the coach, aware of the delicacy of today's match. However, it was above all his declaration on a possible future in black and white that held the court, a courageous (but completely legitimate) opening that inevitably caused (and will continue to cause) discussion. “This is my job, if they call me to coach I go everywhere – he explained in the press room. – The speech is valid for Juventus, but also for Fiorentina, Inter and Milan”.
Roma will face Genoa without Salah (Africa Cup) and therefore will return to a 3-4-2-1 with Szczesny in goal, Rudiger, Fazio and Juan Jesus (Manolas is called up but not doing well) in defense, Bruno Peres, Strootman, De Rossi and Emerson in midfield, Nainggolan and Perotti on the trocar behind the lone striker Dzeko. Classic 3-4-3 for Juric's Genoa, who will attempt yet another excellent scalp with Perin between the posts, Izzo, Burdisso and Munoz in the back, Lazovic, Rigoni, Cofie and Laxalt in the midfield, Ninkovic, Simeone and Ocampos in the offensive trident. Three points from Marassi would be fundamental for the Giallorossi and not only for the run-up to Juve: Napoli, with last night's victory, in fact hooked them to 38. The success of Sarri's team was far from easy, arriving only a few seconds from the end and full of controversy. On the 2-1 at San Paolo, in addition to Tonelli's goal in the 95th minute, the decision by referee Di Bello to send Silvestre off for a second bookable offence, the second one which proved to be non-existent (61', the defender did not touch Reina). And so Sampdoria, who took the lead in the 30th minute due to an own goal by Hysaj, found themselves in 10 for most of the second half under the assaults of Napoli, who were determined to overturn the match. The blucerchiati, authors of a great performance, held out until the 83rd minute: ironically, Gabbiadini scored the 1-1 goal, just now that they bought him Pavoletti (on the bench for the whole match). In the final then, thanks to the 5' of added time, here is the decisive goal by Tonelli, which arrived just a moment before Di Bello's whistle. Which, of course, ended up in the crosshairs of a furious Ferrero determined to "take revenge" in front of the microphones. “He decided this match, Silvestre didn't even touch Reina – snapped the president. – You can't ruin a match with a decision like that, we could have told each other beforehand and we didn't introduce ourselves. They have to stop, the system has to change: let's put the moviola on the pitch and send these referees home".
