A victory that tastes like quarters final. If the 4-1 over Udinese, in fact, happened again on Tuesday, that's it qualification for the next round of the Champions League would be done. Juve's problem, of course, is that Atletico Madrid are quite different from Nicola's team and that scoring him four goals, numbers in hand, is a feat bordering on the impossible. Even the intensity will be of a completely different level, but here the Lady can pull Ronaldo, Mandzukic, Cancel it, The same Dybala, used only in the final: fresh people, rested to prepare for the game that is worth a season. Yesterday's victory, 24th in 27 days (the other 3 ended in draws), confirms that version B can also be enough for this Juve in Italy, even if they are facing a team fighting for salvation and therefore, at least in theory, hungry for points. But against the league leaders, especially in her fort at the Stadium, many of them leave already beaten before even taking the field and history repeated itself last night too. To execute Udinese, in the absence of the aforementioned stars (above all CR7, the first on the bench in the home stadium), thought about it Moise Kean, one who still isn't worth his most famous companions but who one day not too far away, perhaps, will be able to easily play with him.
The young striker born in 2000 made the most of the first chance as a starter granted to him by Allegri: his splendid brace, in fact, will not be forgotten by the coach, who has always been very attentive to the development of young players. Kean, born in Vercelli to Ivorian parents, took center stage after just 11' making the most of Alex Sandro's cross, then, a few minutes before the break (39'), he repeated himself with a top-class play : touch with the toe in soccer style and ball behind Musso, albeit with the slight deviation of Wilmot. From then on, if possible, everything was even easier, with Udinese in the role of sparring partner and Juve rounding up the result. The 3-0 was signed by Emre Can from a penalty (67') but the aforementioned obviously came thanks to Kean, stopped with a hard time by a disoriented opoku, before Matuidi's final poker, deployed in an unusual offensive position (71'). The only negative notes of an evening that sees Juve +19 on Napoli come from the defense, first for Barzagli's injury (it could have turned out to be a surprise move for Tuesday), then for the goal scored in the final by Lasagna (85 '), which sent Allegri into a rage. “The boys were good, we prepared well – however glossed over the coach at the press conference. - Kean has did well to stay at Juventus, he still needs to improve a lot in his movements but he's really good. This result would be very good Tuesday, la Partita But it will be very different. We will have to be even more precise and lucid, we want get to the bottom and celebrate two trophiesthe". For a Juve that is preparing for an eighth of the Champions League, there is a Milan that is working to get to play it (or at least try to) next year. In this sense, the match against Chievo (at 20.30 pm) has all the air of a trap, especially as it will be the last one before next Sunday's super derby. The ranking says that the Rossoneri are third, the gap from their pursuers is however too thin to rest on their laurels, which is why the Bentegodi, so many times "fatal" in the history of Via Aldo Rossi, will have to be conquered in all respects, on pain of risking a really difficult weekend.
"It's a very difficult match, we are aware that we have to win and it won't be easy – confirmed Gattuso. – Il Chievo plays football that puts you in difficulty, we'll have to be careful and know that it will help a great Milan, we absolutely cannot go wrong. We will deal one last team therefore in the standings we have everything to lose. We play a lot here, that's why I say leave stay the derby: that prepares itself…”. The Rossoneri coach's fear is of reliving the Christmas ghosts, when Bologna and Frosinone forced him into two draws which, at moments, risked making him jump off the bench. In 2019, however, things changed, as demonstrated by the victories against Genoa, Cagliari, Empoli and Sassuolo, even if the latter showed an involution in the game which evidently aroused more than one concern. In Verona, a different Milan will be needed, otherwise Chievo, seriously injured but not yet dead, could take advantage of it. Gattuso, aware of the physical tarnishing of his, will try to mix the cards a bit by touching the 4-3-3 of the last few days. In defense, in front of Donnarumma, space in Calabria, Musacchio, Romagnoli and Laxalt (Rodriguez is disqualified), in midfield Biglia will meet again from the first minute, in a 3-man line with Kessie e package. News also in attack, where the untouchables Suso and Friday Borini will be added, preferred to Calhanoglu. Di Carlo, desperate for points to revive his players, will respond with a 4-4-2 that will see Sorrentino between the posts, Depaoli, Bani, Beard and Jaroszynski in the back department, The rice, God, Hetemaj e Jackets in the median behind the offensive duo made up of Stepinsky e Djordjevic.
