TORINO – Juventus does everything. Except winning. He scores two goals, gives one late on to Fiorentina which allows the Viola to snatch the 2-2 draw and eats his hands for yet another match that should have resulted in three points and instead only got one. Eleventh draw of the season out of 18 games. So Lazio's fourth place remains three points away but above all questions arise about the ability of this young team to be bad when it's time to turn into a shark. Too tender, she seems more like a joyful dolphin, incapable of biting when the opponent is in difficulty.
Thuram's Juventus
In the first half, Juventus held the ball as demonstrated not so much by the percentages of ball possession but by the number of scoring opportunities created, three, compared to the only one by the Viola. The 1-1 in the first 45 minutes therefore rewards the cynicism of the Tuscans who decide to let the Bianconeri take charge of the match, as it doesn't seem true that they can set the ball at will without being subjected to pressure worthy of the name. And so in the 5th minute Conceicao's cross is headed by Vlahovic who anticipates Comuzzo but deflects it wide of the post. Then Thuram's goal from Turin in the 20th minute. When he is served in the midfield by an intelligent pass from Locatelli, the Frenchman triggers a percussion from a Tir without brakes and after entering the area he scores a right-footed shot at the edge of the post and the grass. Deserved advantage but Juve made the mistake of giving up from a concentration point of view.
Kean equalizes and doesn't celebrate
And so in the 38th minute they were punished: Juve allowed Fiorentina to take a harmless free kick on the Tuscan attacking midfield which allowed them to kick off an action where Juve's right lane was empty, the excellent Adli entered and scored for the head of Kean: Rabbit he misses and Moise crashes apologizing to the Curva Sud who returns the attention with a choral applause. Two minutes later it's Juve who eats their hands: Koopmeiners dishes out a free kick Vlahovic who controls and fires a bomb with his left foot to the near post By Geathe goalkeeper with a superhero instinct extends his right arm and miraculously deflects it into a corner. Before the break, another counter-ball shot from Locatelli goes just wide of the top corner. In the second half the score was the same and it was 2-1 straight away. In the 3rd minute a pass from Koopmeiners for Thuram who, thanks also to a sliding touch from Cataldi, finds a chocolate on the right in the middle of the area which he joyously discards, putting the ball on the far post. At the hour mark Kean shot and Di Gregorio saved.
Motta, changes and mistakes
Within Cambiaso by McKennie e Star for Mbangula. In the 74th minute De Gea saved Gatti's header after Koop's corner. Swirl of changes from one side to the other. And the breakthrough came in the 84th minute when Cambiaso slipped the ball at the edge of his own area and triggered Fiorentina's action, lucky after a couple of rebounds to find the 2-2 with a left-foot volley from Thin. In the end it was Conceicao who screamed for the goal after being masterfully fed by Douglas Luiz but De Gea opposes it. 2024 ends with a bitter taste.
