They asked him this: win when you have to win. Because with another couple of dirty victories like last night's (like Venice, Lecce, Cagliari), Thiago Motta's Juventus would have 4 to 6 points more and other judgments at the bottom, because in the end also i sommelier they always give one of the ball gaze to the ranking. Mission accomplished, therefore, even if at the end of a bad and painful match. Juventus can and must do morebut there were interesting flashes, some excellent individual performances and, above all, the vittoria who had been missing in the league since the derby on November 9th. And the fact that the victory comes with Nico Gonzalez's return to the team suggests that perhaps all the talk about injured they weren't football abstracts, but they had a foundation. With the Argentine on the pitch, Juventus increases the rate of competitive wickedness and offensive incisiveness, offering itself as a precious support for Vlahovic and as an alternative finalizer.
Then, of course, Juventus, even with Nico, remains one short blanket: yesterday the more attacking lineup, due to formation choices and attitude, produced two goals and a more efficient offensive phase even against a particularly closed defense, but on the other hand it made the defensive phase much more vulnerable. There is work for Thiago Motta, who makes balance a mantra of his speeches, but he has not yet found it in giving a definitive structure to his Juve. But Cristiano Giuntoli also has to do something on the market, because the squad is small and a reserve center forward and centre-forward are missing. Both the coach and the sporting director, however, are working to improve the situation.
