McKennie works everywhere, Nico Gonzalez is back. Tu quoque, Birindelli

The Juventus returns to winning after more than a month of abstinence in the championship. The Bianconeri went 2-1 in Monza, suffering at the end and proving that they are not yet as solid as Thiago Motta would like. The Old Lady strikes at the start with McKennie. The son of art Birindelli brings the Brianza team back into the race almost immediately. It's up to Nico Gonzalezthen put things back. In the second half the red and whites pressed without however creating particular dangers for Di Gregorio.

The choices of Nesta and Motta

Monza is last in the standings: Venezia's victory left them alone. Juve haven't won a league match for over a month. In short, the challenge arises with rather delicate premises. The Brianza players choose 3-5-2 as their formation. Without Djuric, it's up to Caprari and Dany Mota try to make a breakthrough inside the Piedmontese rearguard. The Bianconeri, on the other hand, opt for a hyper-offensive attitude with Conceicao, Yildiz, Nico Gonzalez and Vlahovic at the same time. More Koop midfielder and McKennie fullback.

Birindelli between McKennie and Nico

Juve put the game down almost immediately. Koopmeiners from corner kick peach McKennie who can't make mistakes in the small area. Monza, however, is alive and finds the equalizer with a volley from the son of art Birindelliwhose father was a black and white flag. The returnee is the one who puts things right for the Old Lady Nico Gonzalezgood at catapulting onto a loose ball in the area to deposit it behind Turati.

Anxiety and management: Juve loses it

The second half opens with bad news for Motta: Koopmeiners feels discomfort in his adductor and leaves room for Thuram. Meanwhile, Nico engages in a personal battle with Turati who is ready. When Monza restarts they know what to do. The best opportunity comes to D'Ambrosio who is not a striker and he shows it. Managing the result is a problem for Juve who are in trouble. In the end the Piedmontese team manages to resist and bring home 3 fundamental points.

Juventus report cards

• By Gregory 6 A lot of work but no notable saves.
• Savona 6 On their side, Monza pushes and is committed to closing, not giving up on overlapping assistance in Conceicao.
• Gatti 6 How much Dany Mota moves and how hard it is to follow him.
• Rabbit 5.5 Unusually in trouble, he makes a couple of mistakes that aren't his fault.
• McKennie 7 Starting full-back, he can be found where he is actually needed. Timing for the goal scored, late for the one conceded. (From 91′ Fagioli of)
• Locatelli 7 Very generous. He carries out valuable quantitative work in the middle of the pitch which benefits the whole team.
• Shopkeepers 6.5 Maybe it's the position but it's much more in the heart of the game. This is demonstrated by the quantity of balls touched. He comes off at the end of the first half due to a slight physical problem. (From 46′ Thuram 6 You lose in phrasing, you gain in physical presence).
• Conceição 6 Nice to look at, today a little less effective. In the second half he angered Motta due to some game situations not managed properly. (From 85' Adzic of)
• Nico Gonzalez 7 Better he stays away from his half of the field, considering the bloody turnover. But in attack he has a killer's instinct in how he attacks the loose ball which makes it 2-1. (From 64′ Cambiaso 6 He enters mainly to cover on the left-handed lane).
• star 6 It goes in spurts: it alternates good things with moments when you don't see it at all.
• Vlahovic 5,5 He wastes an opportunity on the counterattack, fights for his teammates but isn't bad enough in the area. (From 85' Mbangula ng)

Monza top and flop

• Birindelli 7 Tu quoque, the Old Lady's supporters must have thought. He scores a really nice goal, by the way.
• Dany Mota 6,5 He alone keeps the Juventus rearguard apprehensive. Also good on high balls.
• Bianco 6,5 They leave him space in midfield and he takes it. The Turin player is an interesting player.
• carbon 6- Saves a goal already scored with the help of Turati and provides an assist to the kiss for Birindelli. And so far there is the good, but then it doesn't cover Juve's 1-2.
• Pablo Marí 5.5 Actively participates in the collective sleep on the occasion of Nico's goal.
