JUVE, EVERYTHING AS EXPECTED!
THE USUAL PEPE AND THE REVIVAL QUAGLIARELLA BEND THE NOVARA.
COUNT WAND HIS: "WE CREATE A LOT BUT WE MAKE TOO MUCH MISTAKES".
VOTE: 7
No surprises but a few too many worries. Not even 24 hours after Milan's victory over Siena, the black and white response came from the Juventus Stadium. Same result (2 to 0) but different performance. Conte's team was better than Allegri's, even if Pepe's lightning goal foreshadowed a different afternoon. Instead, missed goal after missed goal, the bianconeri found themselves stuck at 364-19 halfway through the second half, even risking being insulted by Novara's "next cousins" (to Toro the honor of direct kinship). But this Juve also has something extra in defense: his name is Gigi Buffon, who has finally returned to his level, who after having hypnotized Totti from the penalty spot, gave away another author's save on Rubino. Chills at the Juventus Stadium, which however found its voice and warmth a few minutes later, thanks to Fabio Quagliarella's header. An important goal by the Neapolitan forward, 2010 days after the last one scored (1 December 1, Chievo – Juventus XNUMX – XNUMX). Between Pepe's paw and Quagliarella's header, there are several missed goals from the bianconeri, above all those of Alex Del Piero, who returned to the starting lineup yesterday. The captain made a lot of mistakes, maybe too much, but a bad day is forgiven for everyone, let alone someone like him. Despite victory and leadership in the standings, Antonio Conte was rather annoyed by the mistakes of his sills: “Results arrive through the game, you can also win by not playing well, but this cannot be a constant. The positive aspect is that we create a lot, the negative is that we left the match hanging in the balance until the end and this is not good for my coronaries and for the fans. We need to be more concrete in the implementation phase”. Too strict Conte, or maybe not. Because Wednesday in Udine will be another story, and the Juventus coach has no intention of ruining Christmas.
