Turin wears black and white! Although perhaps, in addition to the classic colors of the Juve flag, the biancocelesti of Argentina should be added, the great protagonist of this Mole derby.
In fact, it is Gonzalo Higuain who signs the victory of the Old Lady, at the end of a match in which Mihajlovic's Bull had played substantially on par, if not even better, than the more accredited "cousin". But then he rose to the chair of the 90 million mister and the Turin citizen, once again, ended up coloring himself in black and white.
“He was taken for that, certain performances don't surprise me at all – commented Allegri – We had a good race even if with too many mistakes in the last lap, we lacked a bit of precision. We knew we had to fight, Toro are a very good team. Now I hope for a draw between Rome and Milan, even if I reiterate that the championship will be balanced until the end."
It will be, but in the meantime his Juve have put a good gap between themselves and their pursuers. This evening, in fact, someone will necessarily have to lose ground, even both in the event of a result desired by the Juventus coach. Yesterday he had a bad time: Toro played very well and at one point it really seemed like they could make him the match.
Going ahead with Belotti (16', imperious header), the grenades were joined by Higuain, good at taking advantage of the (involuntary) assist from the usually very generous Mandzukic (28'). Basically balanced first half, but then, in the second, all the quality of Turin came out, a team that, despite the traditions, plays foil better than epee.
But just when Mihajlovic was anticipating the coup, Pipita took the chair once again, capable of turning an apparently unpretentious bell-tower ball by Chiellini into gold (83'). In fact, the derby ended there: the blow was too strong for Toro, who also conceded Pjanic's third goal in the final (92', great play by Dybala).
“I'm proud of my team, up until the 83rd minute it was a balanced match – Mihajlovic's analysis. – They aim to win the championship and the Champions League but I didn't see all this difference with us, but of course you can't afford to make mistakes against teams like this because otherwise you pay dearly".
Sinisa returns home defeated but with his head held high, Allegri instead enjoys yet another hard-fought success of this season and rejoices in looking at the standings. Rome and Milan they are currently down 7 and tonight, unless they change the rules, they will not be able to win both…
