It's not so much the draw in Lecce, an often complicated field for the Bianconeri but which was never within reach like this season, but the way in which one persists at the limits of obtuseness on a road that doesn't seem to lead anywhere other than to something already seen and studied, which adversaries have learned to neutralize or at least deal with to minimize the danger. Motta doesn't know how to change this Juventus team and continues to make them always play in the same way, insisting on the only striker left to himself, on Yildiz far from the area, constantly hoping that Conceicao will invent something to extract a drop of life from a maneuver which now has very little that is offensive. Then Thuram devours a goal into an empty net, luck doesn't help Chico and to see a penalty called requires something apocalyptic, true; we go and play with the kids in the end, equally true; but Juventus cannot be seen at the mercy of a Lecce of this level, clinging to Perin like a newly promoted team, above all totally incapable of changing face or trying something different. Because Fonseca did it to find the right team for Milan, Gasperini does it by constantly shuffling the cards of his Atalanta, not to mention Inzaghi or Conte, if the mechanism gets stuck, it's not clear why Juve can't do it. Because in this way it is normal that we also regret Allegri and the lack of play, if the alternative is a game that is always the same even if it doesn't work. And the ranking says it doesn't work, Juventus is in sixth place.
Two poles, an invalid goal and a penalty not called
Juve are masters of the maneuver: Yildiz immediately bursts into flame, the ball goes inside and the Bianconeri are already in the lead, or rather not: the mistake made by Thuram who in the small area with an empty net manages to send the ball to the post, with the further insult of the rebound on Koopmeiners before finishing out. Try it then Conceiçãoa great left-foot shot that beats Falcone but stops again on the Giallorossi goal post. Weah also scores a goal, but Locatelli's offside at the start of the action nullifies everything. If Rapuano then decides not to see the clear hands from Gaspar in the area, with a wide arm after a deflection from Thuramthis match cannot help but seem haunted for Motta and for all the Juventus fans.
