UDINESE - JUVENTUS, A POINT THAT SATISFIES EVERYONE.
AL "FRIULI" FINISHES 0 - 0, BIANCONERI ENGAGED BY AC MILAN.
COUNT'S PRIDE: "WE STILL UNDEFEATED, WHO WOULD HAVE SAID THAT?".
In the end, the tension won. After an hour of good football, Udinese and Juventus preferred to settle for a point rather than risk going home empty-handed. And so, in a perfect Christmas atmosphere, everyone smiles. Even (if not above all) Milan, which thus completes a run-up that began on 2 October, when the Italian champions left their pens at the "Juventus Stadium". On balance, however, the draw is also good for Conte's men, who end the first (but significant) glimpse of the championship unbeaten. Inter, Napoli, Lazio, Roma and Udinese, here is the list of teams which, in the second round, will have to pass through the fort of the "Juventus Stadium". In fact, apart from Milan, the Bianconeri have played all the direct matches away, given that it gives an even better idea of the great work done by Antonio Conte. “What speaks are not the numbers but what we have seen, or rather a team with a capital S. If today we had tackled this race with presumption we would have taken a resounding beating given that everyone treats us as the race of their life, and this is a source of satisfaction given that the opponents face us again as a great team". Satisfied Conte, because the match in Udine was seen as a great pitfall: “It must be borne in mind that today we faced the best defense in the championship, they have only conceded 2 goals at home and have always won up until today. We did well leading the game and creating a lot unlike them. The Friulians are not a revelation, last year they arrived in the Champions League and quarter-finals, we seventh. I thank the guys, extraordinary for what they are doing, in just 5 months they have allowed the construction of all this which was unthinkable until recently".
Now Antonio Conte will go on vacation, but with his mind on the transfer market. Juve are looking for a striker, even if the Juventus coach preferred to gloss over the question with a joke: "Borriello is a nice boy, but we already have Matri and I don't want to create turmoil in the locker room...".
Nothing to say, this Juve definitely deserves a Christmas full of good humour.
