Juve of records is back on the run. The 2-0 at San Siro gives Allegri 3 very important points which, added to the 31 previously won, take the Lady to 34 in the standings, all in just 12 days. Crazy numbers, never reached before by anyone else in over 100 years of Serie A, demonstrating that this Juve is truly something extraordinary. For their part, Milan returns home with a defeat that was probably foreseen but also with the awareness of having a soul: the result is what matters most, all right, but the team gave everything they had and this, perhaps it will do some good in the long run.
The negative note of the Rossoneri evening, more than the knockout against the Juventus army, is Higuain's performance, so negative as to leave almost stunned. Il Pipita was supposed to be Gattuso's weapon to try to stop Juve, instead it turned out to be his greatest ballast: when he missed the penalty of the potential AC Milan draw, when he got expelled for protesting, when he came out in tears heartened by his former Juventus teammates.
A nervous breakdown even before a technical one that reopens old wounds and gives voice to the detractors, always ready to underline how Gonzalo, despite extraordinary technical means, never manages to be decisive in the most delicate matches. Indeed, that penalty could have changed the history of the match: Juve in fact, despite the flash advantage with a header from Mandzukic (8'), hadn't managed to block the result and Benatia's hand ball ( already warned, serious mistake by Mazzoleni in not issuing the second yellow card) he seemed to be able to reopen everything.
But Pipita let himself be hypnotized by Szczesny and the great opportunity evaporated as it had come, leaving the Rossoneri San Siro astonished and Gonzalo dazed. A shock from which he never really recovered, so much so that after Ronaldo's 2-0 (81') he lost his head for a foul on Benatia, first getting yellow and then red for repeated protests against Mazzoleni. A "joke" that will cost him his presence in the direct clash against Lazio but not Gattuso's lecture: in fact, his tears are enough and more to realize that he is the first to be furious with himself.
“I hope he apologizes to the referee, someone with his experience cannot afford mistakes of this type – commented Gattuso – On the other hand, there is nothing to say about the penalty, he felt it and kicked, Szczesny was good at parrying it to him, full stop. Now, however, he will have to be good at reacting, avoiding getting caught up in nervousness ”.
Problems that don't concern Allegri, who emerged victorious from the San Siro thanks to the umpteenth showdown of an extraordinary team, capable of always scoring points. His Juve had to redeem Wednesday's prank, respond to Napoli and take advantage of Inter's misstep: they managed to do everything, giving the championship yet another show of strength.
“We reacted well to the defeat against Manchester United, winning was the only way to put aside what had happened in those 5' – Allegri's analysis – This against Milan was an important step, just like regaining 6 points against Napoli ”.
The third stop of the championship therefore appears to be the same as the second: Juve first at +6 on Napoli, the rest is boredom. The best for those who, like Allegri, know perfectly the recipe for winning championships.
