Sealed mouths, but looks that are worth a thousand words. At Juve, no one wants to talk openly about celebrating the Scudetto, but the thought has been floating in the air for several days. The bianconeri are missing just one point, then it will be a mathematical title. The obstacle is called Palermo, and it's no small problem. The rosanero are desperately hunting for safety points, and, while aware of the objective difficulties, they will try to get them on the field of the leaders.
That's why between Corso Galileo Ferraris and Vinovo no one wants to bother to officially organize a championship party. Which, sooner or later, will come, but the mockery danger (that would be a home defeat) is enough to curb the enthusiasm. However, something is boiling in the pot, also because the event is not easy to prepare. Among the fans expected at the Stadium and those who would pour into the streets of Turin, there would be over one hundred thousand units, therefore something must be organized, if only for reasons of public order.
Maximum confidentiality, but something seeps through. If the team wins the championship, after the usual shower of sparkling wine in the changing rooms, they will get on an open-top bus that will take them around the city. The route is officially secret, but it will certainly visit historic places in Turin, such as Piazza Vittorio, Piazza Castello, Piazza San Marco and Piazza Solferino. It is easy to predict a very large and cheering crowd, which will reach the Savoyard capital from all over Italy, eager to celebrate the title on May 5th, eleven years after the famous 2002.
Everyone remembers that day, especially Juventus and Inter fans, albeit for diametrically opposed reasons. The Nerazzurri, leading the league, lost incredibly in Rome against Lazio and Juve, by winning in Udine, overtook them thus becoming champions of Italy.
However, there is only the date in common. That was a sensational Scudetto, in which very few really believed, but this one is widely announced. Now it's just a matter of math, then it will be time to celebrate. And even the superstitious Juventus executives will be able to indulge in well-deserved revelry.
