Welcome to the Juve party, which discovers and rediscovers itself in a night of many difficulties and experiments, which perhaps show Motta the right path to unblock this team and give it the confidence and courage that is sometimes missing and which can change the course of a season. Cagliari overwhelmed 4-0, with a goal more beautiful and difficult than the other, with returns to the field and returns to leading roles that will be useful, and not a little, in the key moment of the season circled in red on the Continassa calendar: January 2025, time for verdicts, but to get there there was this Cup that shouldn’t be missed – goal achieved, off to the quarter-finals – and there are still two tough matches, Monza and Fiorentina, that shouldn’t be missed.
Juve, time for forced experiments. Del Piero’s truths
The emergency forces Motta to launch a Juve that couldn’t be more experimental: Locatelli reinvented central defender, Koopmeiners midfielder with Thuram, McKennie moving to left backYildiz who drops into midfield to sew up the game, there are many first times on the pitch. Nicola makes a turnover on his own, the priority is survival but always playing it openly, on the other hand the golden point taken at the Stadium in the championship is an important reserve of confidence. As Del Piero, someone who knows something about Juventus, pointed out, this team lacks the ability to instill fear in its opponents, one no longer comes to Turin aware that defeat is an almost immutable fate in the Juventus fortress, but rather confident that fate is everything to write. And in fact, the first Juventus lightness – Thuram in this case – and the first Sardinian blaze, only the placement and reflexes of By Gregory they took away the joy of scoring from Lapadula after less than a minute. Super save.
