There's no two without three… and there's no six without seven. That's what Juventus dreams of, having come back powerfully in the running for the Scudetto thanks to six consecutive victories in the league, a roadmap that has allowed the Bianconeri to return to the top.
The last effort of 2015 will be in Modena against Carpi, a field where teams like Napoli and Fiorentina have suffered, for a simple trip only on paper. And Allegri knows it well: “Tomorrow we have to win by force – Allegri said in the press conference -, otherwise we risk nullifying what we have done up to now. Against Carpi it's a match of great responsibility, a challenge that can hide pitfalls, we must not make a mistake in the approach. But I'm confident: the team has grown in personality. It's normal that our opponents have started to worry seeing Juve return to their rightful positions."
Juventus, moreover, is going really strong, so much so that in the last five days they have recovered points for everyone: three at Inter, five at Napoli, seven at Fiorentina, even nine at Rome and Milan, not to mention the sensational +14 on Lazio, who on matchday 11 preceded the bianconeri by three points: "The championship is not over already – Allegri pointed out -, even if Inter have an important squad, a winning coach and are the only ones not playing the cups. It is normal for a team that has to rebuild after difficult years to have some advantages. Then he has solid, physical and technical players. Roma are not left out, they have important values and we will find them at the bottom, like Napoli. How the championship goes will be decided in the last two days. We must create the conditions for a better 2016 than the last four months. But this is a team used to winning."
A Juventus that has rediscovered the hunger that someone seemed to have lost. The proof came in the Coppa Italia, where the unfortunate Torino was eliminated with a 4-0 that didn't allow for replies, a result that further gasped the environment because a derby is always a derby. Great protagonist Simone Zaza, who started as Allegri's last choice and who with goals (5 in 10 appearances, complete with a brace in the Coppa Italia derby) is trying to carve out a space for himself. Zaza is an example of how the Juve dressing room is different from the others, and perhaps the key to Juventus' successes lies right there: “The secret of this comeback and of the 6 victories in a row? No secrets – Allegri cut short -, just work and balance. Mine is not a won bet, we come from important victories but we have lost many points with the small ones like Chievo, Frosinone and Sassuolo. When you make a run up it is much easier to recover from 2016th to XNUMXth position than from XNUMXth to XNUMXst. We need to consolidate our standings, and return to XNUMX after the break together with the leading teams".
Juve truly believes it, because they know they have everything to win again. And three points against Carpi would make her even hungrier.
