The Serbian takes his lead with a great free-kick after 2 minutes, the Englishman takes advantage of an assist from the former and signs the 1-1. Debut for Milik
Roma with full points come out with a tie from the Allianz Stadium where they had lost 10 times out of 11, slow down their march but above all they do not turn on that of Juventus, for a long time perhaps the best performance of the season in the first big match but unable to capitalize beyond 1 -0 scored at the start with Vlahovic and caught up in the second half by Abraham. At seven points with three goals scored in three games, the Giallorossi enjoy the best possible result, Mourinho’s second equal in ten games against the Lady. Which in the end loses the greatest virtue of this start of the season, the clean sheets, but sees some light on the level of the game.
THE RETURN OF DYBALA
–
It was the match of Paulo Dybala’s return to the Stadium, who in this stadium scored more than anyone else in his seven years of Juve (with twelve trophies), which ended in the spring as the ninth Juventus scorer every era with a telenovela ending. Called under the curve in the warm-up, greeted by a roar at the reading of the formations, greeted by applause mixed with whistles at the moment of the exit in the 77th minute, Joya played a game like many of her last Juventus months: slow, peripheral, at long out of the game not for the excitement because few balls arrive and few look for them. But someone who happens to be in the ideal position capitalizes on it to the fullest, putting the equal ball on Abraham’s head twenty minutes from the end. The hug with McKennie and the exchange of shirts with Vlahovic are the final image of him on the evening.
THE FOLD OF THE GAME
–
The left-handed free-kick from 20 meters, won by Cuadrado for a foul by Matic, with which Vlahovic slips Rui Patricio at the corner of the posts after 77 seconds (and will risk making an encore from 30 meters to 39 ‘) comes even before they reveal themselves the moves of Allegri and Mourinho on the chessboard. Also decisive in the turn that the game takes, beyond the superior aggressiveness with which Juve presents itself on the pitch, which together with the immediate goal immediately sends the Giallorossi central players into confusion in the hallways.
THE SURPRISES OF ALLEGRI
–
Allegri’s first surprise is to overturn the central players: Bremer finally on the favorite center-right, Danilo on the center-left with a job to do work that solves problems, each time in a different area of the pitch. The second is Miretti, preferred to Zakaria, McKennie and Rovella, who from the crowded median gets up most of all for the first pressing like the American with Sampdoria, and if we really don’t want to call it 4-5-1 what it looks like more is a 4-2-3-1 with the 18-year-old underhead (!) with Cuadrado on the right and Kostic on the left (excellent axis with Miretti) to slip behind Spinazzola and Kardsorp.
ROME DISCONNECTED
–
Not even Rabiot was expected, a vigorous performance, in a more internal position than the one almost in the range in which Allegri saw him for the whole of last year, moreover to the right of Locatelli. Together they shield Dybala and Pellegrini, isolated with Abraham from the rest of Rome, which only rarely pushes left with Spinazzola, and which does not have the men in between to supply them. The job of Matic and Cristante would be to attack the possession of Juve, which instead makes the ball go wide, building with the defenders and passing through the flanks, thus the static positionality of the two Roma midfielders becomes a minus against the dynamism with which Rabiot and Locatelli they attack space at double speed.
LOST OPPORTUNITIES
–
The result is a match that should end on points 2-0 at rest, and Juve is close to it. A couple of times with Cuadrado: in the 16 ‘on a recovery by Kostic, with Miretti to lead the counterattack to unload on the right to Panita and a great central blow rejected by Rui Patricio, then in the 35’ on a low-level free-kick again by the Colombian on which the extreme Romanist gets longer. In the middle of the 25th minute there was also a goal canceled by Locatelli, caught for the torpedo from the edge of the area just by a discharge from the right from Cuadrado, but Vlahovic had touched with his arm in the melee with Cristante to launch the counterattack. Allegri does not take it well.
CHANGE OF STEP
–
With El Sharaawy in place of Mancini (in addition to Zalewsky for Spinazzola, then Karsdorp for Celik will also change on the other side) Mourinho redesigns Roma in the second half around a 4-2-3-1 with which he covers the field better, of which the first to benefit is Matic less in difficulty in the median and the second advantage is to normalize a bit of a less strenuous Juve. The aggression gap remains, photographed by the thrust of Kostic and Cuadrado, from which however Juve squeezes a diagonal with which the Colombian touches the back post in the 54th minute. Yet, once the bleeding has been interrupted, the game for the Giallorossi remains to be reopened if the talents in front of them invent the game.
EQUAL AND PATTA
–
And it goes like this: in the 69th minute on Pellegrini’s corner from the left the ball goes to the far post where, with Alex Sandro going empty, Dybala from the back line embroiders an assist for Abraham who all alone in the center of the head area slips the returning ex Szczesny for Juve’s first goal of the season. And a quarter of an hour later the Pole, still uncertain about his exit, makes his players shiver in a scrum in the area in which Milik, who arrived on Friday and entered in the 77th minute, frees on the goal line. It ends like this, they both move the standings, but it is a result that smells of a point gained by Roma and two points lost by Juve.
