6 goals, 9 shots on goal, 62% ball possession. In one word: devastating! Juventus took Pescara with a performance of enormous quality, demonstrating that they are still as hungry as they were last year. If Conte wanted answers after the defeat against Inter, those received after Nordsjaelland and Pescara certainly refreshed him. Of course, the value of the opponents proved to be anything but transcendental, but winning so clearly in the Champions League (4-0) and in the league (6-1) is the stuff of champions. What was especially surprising was the approach of the Bianconeri, who some expected to be distracted by their many commitments. Instead, Juve descended on the Adriatic lawn with the hunger of a provincial, which made the difference. Because for the same stimuli, the difference in quality emerges, so clear as to make Stroppa and the blue-and-white crowd blush, who ended up regretting Serie B for one night. turnover and the Champions League.
The message came loud and clear: Pescara had to be conquered, possibly in the first half. For the second consecutive night then, Juve found their forwards again, in particular Giovinco and Quagliarella. The former scored a goal and an assist, while the latter was downright devastating. Reading his tally is believing: three goals (one of which was a bicycle kick!) and a back-heel assist for Asamoah, as beautiful as it is useful. Super Fabio thus became the most prolific striker of the season: after the hat-trick from the Adriatic he climbed to 7 goals. “It was my first career hat-trick, I'm really happy – said Quagliarella after the match. – The important thing was to win, we made it clear that there could be a misstep with Inter, we were facing a great team. From the defeat we got up even stronger. Angelo Alessio also shared the same opinion, who also touched on the issue relating to the January transfer market: “There was the right approach from the start, we played a great game. Everyone scores in this team, today the forwards scored. We took the field determined to impose our game. The top player in attack? The decision is up to the club, we work best with the squad we have available".
