In the early morning of January 19, Beijing time, Juventus and Sampdoria launched the third round of the Italian Cup. As a result, after 90 minutes, the Bianconeri won a 4-1 victory, and head coach Allegri led the team to continue to attack the defense of the tournament. In the next round of the league, Juve will challenge Milan, the league champions.
After returning to the Bianconeri this season, Juventus' performances have been mediocre. At present, in the league, Juve are nine points behind the leaders Inter, and the possibility of trying to come back is very small, and the team's goal is to qualify for a Champions League. In the previous Super Cup match, Juve lost to Inter in extra time and lost the title. Under such circumstances, Juve can only pin their hopes for this season's title on the Italian Cup.
In the face of Sampdoria, who has experienced a change of coach, Yuwen field still sent a number of main players, and Morata led the front line-up. On the Sampdoria side, they hid the regular main forces such as Gabiardini and Candreva, and it can be seen that the desire to win in this game is not strong.
After a tentative attack at the opening, Juve managed to take the lead in 25 minutes. A free-kick opportunity, Cuadrado scored into the net, and the player scored in the Coppa Italia for the first time in seven years. It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time that Juventus has scored with a direct free kick after 563 days. In the ensuing time, Morata's goal was ruled invalid and Juve returned to the dressing room with a 1-0 advantage at halftime.
Returning in the second half, Juve quickly pulled away from the points difference. In the 51st minute, Rougani jumped high to head the goal and changed the aggregate score to 2-0. Juve then made a substitution adjustment, with Chiellini and Dybala coming off the bench. However, in the ensuing time, Sampdoria grabbed a juve defender and pulled a goal back.
Seeing the score being approached, Allegri's team once again exerted its strength. In the 66th minute, Locatelli made a successful steal and Dybala made it easy to help the old woman lead 3-1. In the 76th minute of the match, Sampdoria delivered a penalty opportunity and Morata took the penalty to help Juve lay the foundation for a 4-1 victory.
Relying on three goals in 25 minutes in the second half, Juventus won 4-1 at home to qualify, and the defending champions continued their Journey in the Coppa Italia. In the last four games, Juventus have won 3 and seem to be back on track. In the next round of the league, Juve will take on Milan away, which is an absolute test for Allegri.
