It’s not all simple, the match against Roma makes it clear that the season won’t be all roses and flowers like the first two matches, there will be strong opponents and today Inter who beat Atalanta are more ready for this type of match than Juve who drew with Roma.
Probably after the first two victories the Juventus fans expected a sparkling performance, an idea that clashed with the Roma defense that played a very careful, very controlled match and in the final stages even scared the Bianconeri a little by not leaving any space for the Old Lady to push forward.
Juventus proved to be a very solid team, which concedes little and struggled a bit to create goal-scoring opportunities.
Daniele De Rossi was good at holding back Motta’s team, he didn’t leave any space and controlled Dusan Vlahovic well, then trying to counterattack when there were opportunities, Motta tried them, practically all of them, he put all or almost all the men he had on the bench, but it was no use, there was absolutely too much imprecision in the finishing of the actions and many errors in the set-up.
Thiago Motta will have to understand and study the solutions when there are opponents who close down so well, with little space and little freedom.
The road for Juventus is long and will be long, we keep the four points advantage over Atalanta and the five over Milan, it’s a shame to have eaten up two points on Inter and Napoli, currently the contenders for important objectives, but Juve will have to grow and improve to be able to fight for important objectives.
