SERIE A – Juventus dominate in Udine and fly to the top of the standings with full points

Juventus are already leading the championship: they conquered another three points by winning in Udine (even if there is the help of the referee who paves the way for Juventus domination) and are at the top with full points after two matchdays together with Napoli. Lazio and Sampdoria – Super game by Sebastian Giovinco, author of a brace.

SERIE A – Juventus dominate in Udine and fly to the top of the standings with full points

Try to stop her, if you can! Juventus crashes Udinese into their home and sends a loud and clear message to the championship: they are always the big favorites. It's still too early to look at the standings, but the game doesn't lie and in Italy nobody manages to play football better than the black and whites. Short, aggressive, at times spectacular and solid as oak trees, Conte's boys restarted exactly as they had finished. Compared to last season, the goals come in bursts, even from the forwards. Vucinic and Giovinco scored and charmed, and if Matri and Bendtner want to earn a shirt they will have to sweat a lot. Without the sacrosanct compliments to Juventus, we must say that the match in Udine ended after just 12 minutes, when the Friulians found themselves down by a goal (penalty from Vidal) and down to 10 men due to the expulsion of Brkic. The penalty is sacrosanct, the expulsion of the goalkeeper is not, given that the foul was committed by Danilo.

In any case, the rule is too penalizing, as Marotta very kindly admitted after the game. Pozzo's reaction was different (understatement), accusing the referee of having distorted the match. A bad statement, which doesn't do credit to the Udinese patron: how can you stick to the episodes after such a bad impression? In fact, Juve didn't stop at Vidal's penalty, but continued to look for the goal in every action. Vucinic's doubling definitely cut off the legs of the Friulians, who hardly entered the field in the second half. And so there was also glory for Giovinco (brace for him), who perhaps has finally taken Juve. In the stands of Udine, in addition to Antonio Conte (who watched the match in the box adjacent to Pozzo's), there was also Roberto Di Matteo, who in a couple of weeks will receive the black and whites at Stanford Bridge. His reigning European champion Chelsea has nothing to envy to Juve, but the Scoppola in Montecarlo has shown that they are not even unbeatable. And the Bianconeri seen yesterday can really hurt anyone.
