With a dry 2-0 against Fiorentina (already beaten with an own goal in the first leg) Juve wins the Italian Cup finalwhich will be played on May 11 in Rome, In Bernardeschi (an ex twice: from Fiorentina and at the end of the season also from Juve) the first beautiful goal on the 32nd minute of the first half and Danilo the second goal in the 94th minute.
On May 11, we will thus see the ever-intriguing again Italian derby between Juve and Inter. But the moods of the two teams are very different. Inter have good hopes of winning the Scudetto again, contending for it until the end Milan, beaten in recent days in the Italian Cup (3-0), while Juve can at best console themselves with a Cup. But we are at the minimum wage, after the very painful one elimination from the Champions League by the Spanish side Villarreal, and without forgetting that the most painful point of Allegri's Juve 2.0 is and remains self-exclusion, right from the start, from the Scudetto race. In the league, the Bianconeri have never been in the title match, which hasn't happened for over ten years.
Juve: the Italian Cup does not cancel a disappointing season: the club is on trial
Allegri has his justifications. Three days before the end of the summer transfer market, a champion like Cristiano Ronaldo is not replaced; one can only curse bad luck for the most serious Federico Chiesa's injury, which deprived the team of its sudden sprints and its precious goals, and one can only curse once again the bad luck for the footing of midfielders weighing Locatelli, McKennie and in part Arthur e Zakaria right in the crucial phase of the championship.
All true. But also Allegri, to whom the Juventus people will always be grateful for the five Scudettos won in a row and for the Champions League finals, has its faults. Football goes fast and it's true that winning is the only thing that matters at Juve, but in this disappointing season Juve has almost never fielded proactive, pleasant, brilliant football, and especially does not have never experienced innovative game ideas and schemes. In this way he doesn't enjoy himself and even risks not winning, as has promptly happened, beyond the chain of injuries that has weighed down the team.
Del Piero and Conte instead of Agnelli and Allegri? Fans dream
However, more than trying Allegri it would be the case of process the company, because since he guiltyly kicked out Beppe Marotta, who in fact is collecting victories and satisfactions at Inter and who will probably take Dybala away from the Nerazzurri, Juve has never been the same. The company, involved in a thousand controversies (from Superalloy capital gains) no longer gave the security it used to give to the team. There purchasing campaign has been often very expensive but not as effective.
The recent return to the stadium after ten years by Alex Del Piero makes the fans dream. It will be there new president in place of Andrea Agnelli and his tour company (like the useless and argumentative Nedved) after a decade of triumphs? Hard to say but certainly John Elkann, which surely cannot torpedo Andrea Agnelli by forgetting the nice package of Exor shares that the Umbertian branch of the family holds, something resembling a renovation is thinking. A bit like what happened to Ferrari, finally a winner again on the track.
Without Lambs, the return to the bench of Antonio Conte, which has always been in the hearts of the fans, would no longer be a mirage, above all if Allegri were to listen to the PSG sirens of his friend Leonardo.
The Juve of the future will be that of the couple Del Piero-Conte, two idols of the black and whites and two pillars of Juve who won the coveted Champions League in 1996? It's too early to tell, but there is a rule that is in force in the Juventus club and which should not be forgotten: something always happens when the team doesn't win. Even on the upper floors.
