Juventus pull points out of nowhere in Udine to keep Champions League position
On the day his reign as Italy's champion officially ended, Bianconeri made a terrific performance in the final seven minutes to complete the victory.
Lots of things revolved around the toilet bowl as the clock ticked in the Dacia Arena on Sunday. Juventus' chances to get into the top four, and possibly Andrea Pirlo's job, were stuck in the vortex as Juve players passed without actually threatening the ball between them.
After Inter were mathematically confirmed as champions on the first day, he was probably relegated, officially ending Juve's nine-year run as the holders of Scootetto. He may not have learned a lesson from the terrible first half in Florence last week. This is definitely a byproduct of poor squad building, as the team continues to fight against the bus and the defending teams. Whatever the reason, the first 82 minutes of the match against Udini was one of the worst games played since Gigi Delneri being in the manager's office. It was also not a matter of Uddini stepping up and playing the game of his season. He took an early lead when Juve once again caught Juve napping, on a free kick, but did not take advantage at all to take advantage of Juve's poor game and extend his lead. In fact, he did not have a shot after target, but Juve benefited from the intent to sit on a lead that looked a bit threatened even when he entered the final stages of the game.
Mounting Cristiano Ronaldo's pencil to the wall in a free kick actually paid a one-time advantage, prompting a handball that caused similar penalties. Then, with one minute left of normal time, Ronaldo met with a deep cross at the far post and benefited from Judway's stand-in keeper to give Junev a 2–1 victory as a stander-keeper. Will not be disappointed either way, but definitely happy after the top four rivals Napoli and Atalan took the lead and dropped points in the first day.
Andrea Pirlo was once again faced with reports stating that he would be fired if he did not win the game. He expected Federico Chiassa to be available for this match, but when the team came out on Saturday, a fourth man was suffering from his hamstring injury. वारlvaro Morata was unable to leave from the start, but was an option on the bench. Danilo made his debut in two games, featuring Mathez de Ligt, Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro. Along with Chiasa, Piro gave Federico Bernardeski a rare start to the left on the second edge of the four, joining Juan Cuadrado, Weston McKenney and Rodrigo Bentencur in midfield. Paulo Dybala joins Ronaldo at the tip of the spear.
Standout goalkeeper Juan Musso was suspended, and Iliza Nestorowski and Gerard Deulofu were injured after that. That led to the Gotti shift to a 3-5-1-1 formation, and to give Simone Scuffett the opening glove, the former Wunderkind whose development stalled in a series of loans, and his first Serie A start since October. Was getting it done. 2018. Rodrigo Becao, Kevin Bonazzi, and Bram Nuitinak formed the back three. Nahuel Molina and Jens Strieger Larsen were wing-backs, sandwiching the midfield trio of Rodrigo de Paul, Wallace and Tolge Arslan. Former Juve midfielder Roberto Pereira was posted in the number 9 position behind Stefano Okaka.
The teams clashed with each other in the opening round, with Bentenur firing the first shot of the contest in the sixth minute, which, after getting in good shape, stuck in just two brains and ended up going to the top corner. Udayan found the first goal when striker Larsen attacked on third and Pereyra had a ball ricochat, which fed the Dane into the position to shoot, and drove the ball right over Szeczny.
But in the 10th minute, Juve fell asleep completely and gave the hosts an edge. McKenney had pulled De Paul down from the back, and when the entire Juventus team expected Udini to get themselves together for a set piece, De Paul put the ball down and Mollina got the ball fast. Pat, who had the whole team all to himself. No one returned on time, and Molina was clear to deflect a powerful shot into the goal from five yards. Szcasie got an arm for it, but the power on the ball was too much and went right through and into the net.
To say that Juve's reaction was anemic was an understanding of the weather. He produced nothing in the 15 minutes following the breakthrough, as his opponents immediately won 5–3–2 and dared to attack him. But their ball movement was fairly non-existent, the off-ball movement was almost non-existent, and they often found themselves sucking in the funnel over and over again, which Udini was building in the middle of the park. While there was practically an entire game to go, there was an early, sinking feeling that perhaps the Juves were not able to respond.
They equalized on a corner in the 27th minute, but McKenney missed a sitter with a diving header slipping through the defense to complete Cuadrado's delivery, which he pushed to the other side of the post. Juve finally hit his first shot in the 34th minute when Bentanur fed Dybala, whose right foot shot took a deflection that made Scuffett's parry a little more complicated, but he controlled it nonetheless. . Scuffet's battle appeared three minutes later when he punched a free kick directly to De Ligt. The Dutchman first attempted to fire it to the goal, then collected the block, drifted from the right, and put in a cross that Ronaldo ran badly. Given the way the game was going, it was classified as a major lapse.
The team took the lead in the half with Juve needing to produce a turnaround similar to their impact in Florence - not just any game. Juve continued to play dull football with no bite or urgency. Uddins were given some opportunities, but did not make the most of them, often not even managing to shoot, except for the seven-minute exception of the restart when Okaka set up Arslan with some strong holdups, only To extinguish the fire for the Germans.
Piro threw on Dejan Kulusevski just seven minutes before the hour and Morata expected some kind of spark. Swayde was certainly more effective than the unnamed Bernardesky and brought a bit more drive to the left and allowed Sandro to score one or two runs. Uddini did not make much of himself, striker Larsen was trying to burst through the field and shape a ball into the top corner, but just did not get the turn. When Ronaldo hit a terrific pass, which was executed properly, the game was briefly presented for both sides, giving Querado a dangerous pass to the right, but instead gave the Colombian a lung. Was forced to chase, until he passed. Corner flag
But things changed in the time it started in the 82nd minute. Cuadrado and Stryger Larsen touched down about 30 yards from goal, and also got the call in the East, though it was not clear exactly who got the whistle. Ronaldo set himself up and slammed a ball that had a special trajectory toward the wall, but De Paul, the last man on the right, kept his elbows out and approached the ball, allowing for referee Daniel Schiffi An easy penalty call was made. Ronaldo fired low to his left, with scuffet diving that the ball was on his backside.
Ronaldo catches the ball and takes it to the center circle, while the two managers make their final changes, Pirlo dispatches Adrian Rabot and a debutant Felix Correa of Serie A, while Gotti gives center-back Sameer a fondness Sent to Bonifazi. Juve pushed for a winner, and were left on the clock with a minute to go when they were found when Rabot fended off a challenge from Fernando Fournieri and crossed the post from 30 yards out. Ronaldo defeated the newly-entered Sameer's attention and fielded him in a nearby ground. He did well to take it aiming, but it was the kind of shot you would expect most players to avoid. Surely, he was in the lineup, you must have placed a bet on Juan Muso to stop it. But Rusty Scuffett allowed himself to be savored by giving away valuable goals to Ronaldo, Pirlo and Juve, and after a six-minute standstill, placed Juve in a three-way tie with points for second place.
Looking ahead
Sunday's win, combined with Atalanta and Napoli on the first day, draws Juve in a three-way tie with Atlanta and AC Milan on 69 points. It is not very likely to stay that way, as Milan still have to play head-to-head against both sides, but if it does, the tiebreaker will inevitably create a short three-team league, categorizing the teams Will go. On the results between the three.
The following Sunday, Milne played the role of Juve, the first of three games that could define the season. A midweek game against Sasuolo comes between a visit to and from the new champions Inter, after which Juve returned to Mopetti Stadium for Cologne Italia, who were in the final against Cologne, and concluded the season against Cologne.
