Figures and black and white curiosities: it is the third best team to score with defenders and it is the one that has suffered fewer shots on target (54). Among the top 9 in the standings is the team that has scored fewer goals: 27. Yet only three have made more shots on goal
A short journey through the numbers and the black and white curiosities describes a first round studded with big figures, for better or for worse, and also with small and big contradictions. Starting from the data concerning the ratio between the shots on target and the goals scored: 93, against the 27 goals scored, the lowest number of the top 9 teams in the standings. Yet only three teams managed to make more shots on target: Inter (127), Sassuolo (98) and Napoli (98). Fortunately, the defense does not only think about defending: with 54 shots conceded it is the A team that conceded fewer shots in the mirror, but also scored 8 goals, almost a third of the spoils of the first round.
Defense, what numbers!
–
Of the eight goals that come from the defensive department, 4 are from Cuadrado, 3 from Bonucci and 1 from de Ligt: only Inter and Bologna count more (both nine) signed by the defense. Not only that, Cuadrado, a sui generis defender, sometimes also playing a high winger, equaled his season goal record in a league in the first round only, and was also the defender who created the most opportunities for his team-mates (30 ) and the second in the back ward for successful dribbling (24, behind only Stojanovic’s 32).
Among the positive numbers of the relevant defense is the 1 linked to De Ligt: among the defenders with at least 700 minutes played in this championship, no one has been jumped in dribbling less times than the Dutchman (one, in fact). The Dutchman is also the third Juve player in terms of minutes on the pitch (1,293), behind Szczesny (1,440) and Bonucci (1,350). A curiosity: Locatelli is the only Juve player who has played at least a few minutes of all 19 Serie A matches, but this figure did not earn him the podium per minute.
Those negative records with Napoli …

If Paulo Dybala is the Juventus player who has attempted the conclusion several times in this championship (53), the 5 goals scored so far by him and Morata, the current top scorers for Juve, represent the all-time low since the 1987-88 season. , when Magrin and Ian Rush, always in the first round, scored 4 each. If the one against Genoa was the match in which Juve shot several times (27, including rejected shots) and the one in which they created (and missed) more scoring chances, no less than 4, the one against Roma was the game with fewer conclusions created (only 6). The match with the most tackles won? The 3-2 outside against Spezia (18), which acts as a counterbalance to the derby: won, but with only 3 successful contrasts. The comparison (with knockout) with Napoli recorded two negative records: Juve had the lowest percentage of ball possession in their first round (32.6%) and suffered the highest number of shots (25) .
