It is said that the New Year and the new atmosphere, the Bianconeri have fought three games in the New Year, showing that it is still the old problem of last year - instability. They can draw with Napoli at home, achieve a big comeback away from Home in Rome, and also lose the Italian Super Cup this morning.
The trophy is no longer important, it is also a champion
A lot of people say that the Italian Super Cup is a chicken rib cup, and in fact it is. Among the three league champions, the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup, the Italian Super Cup, a game that is bound to win or lose, has a really low gold content. But it is indispensable because it is an indispensable title for a team to create a dynasty. If you fall behind a team other than the league champion, then this so-called dynasty is ultimately imperfect.
Therefore, except for the league champions, other teams compete for it more like the identity of the "X-Crown" spoiler. Juventus, who has fallen from the league, should lower his posture to be a spoiler, and also need a champion to strengthen his confidence.
In fact, 120 minutes ago, facing Inter Milan, which has been fully revived, the whole team, in addition to lack of creativity, is still doing well, both defensively and mentally. And all the directions were as coach Allegri said before the game, in the direction of the penalty shootout.
Unfortunately, at the last minute, there is nothing more frustrating than being killed. "You can't give up until the last minute", the same applies to football. Juventus has done this in previous seasons, but this season is far from enough.
So, it's no surprise that the champion is falling by.
Reverse moments, exciting, familiar feelings
Has this Juventus team not improved? Not necessarily. For example, in the face of Roma in the middle of last week, three goals in seven minutes after falling behind 1-3 have to be said to be very exciting.
Not because Juventus has never had such a reversal. For example, three years ago, ateletico Madrid was reversed in the Champions League, and four years ago, he almost overturned Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. But this feeling has been too long and too long. From Sarri's pseudo-passing to Pirlo's tactical blur, Juventus lost his greatest fortune – the spirit.
FINO ALLA FINE – Never Give Up is Juventus' team motto, which is exactly the same as coach Ansi, the "celebrity" of basketball. In the past two years, it has gradually become a slogan. However, at the Olympic Stadium last week, when the ball rolled into the net behind Szczesny, I think most fans, including me, were desperate.
But the soldiers on the field did not choose to back down. The three young men kicked their heads and told everyone with their actions that the spirit of Juventus was still there. DeSiglio is even more humiliated, and players on the verge of loan can still contribute to the team, and every player is indispensable.
At this moment, it was as if I had closed my eyes, and a voice echoed in my ears: "I feel that they are back."
summary
Is it really back? Only three games have been played, and it will take time to test. Especially in the absence of a farce of the renewal of Thexa and Dybala contracts. Let the championship lost in the morning pass, but fortunately it has no impact on the league. The tough schedule in January is a pivotal moment in whether this season can reach the top four. So, on the whole, there is nothing unacceptable about the level of Napoli. But whether the next game against Udine and Samp can win steadily, and then take points from AC Milan, is the top priority.
I wish I could close my eyes again in February and the words "they're back" echoed in my ears.
