In the early morning of March 7, Beijing time, the 28th round of the 2021-22 Serie A season ushered in a focus battle: Juventus hosted Spezia at home.
Before the campaign, with the "help" of Roma coached by Mourinho, Juve have secured a position of fourth in the Serie A table. In the first match of this round, Roma beat Juve's fourth biggest rival Atalanta 1:0 at home. Atalanta scored 47 points in 27 games, and Juve scored 3 points more than Atalanta in 27 games.
Juventus started 442, Morata and Vlahović double forwards, midfielders Rabiot, Artur, Locatelli and Cuadrado, four defenders Luca Pellegrini, Rougani, De Ligt, Danilo and goalkeeper Szczesny. Playing in the third tier, with a tight schedule, at home against a team of Serie A relegation level, Juventus mainly played, obviously aiming to take all three points and sit in the fourth place in the Serie A table. The total value of Juve's starting eleven is as high as 300 million euros, and the total value of the opposite eleven is only 34.6 million euros.
But even against such a team, Juve will not win easily. On the offensive end, Juve naturally relied on the introduction of heavy gold in the winter window, and the current Serie A strongest and youngest Serbian center forward Vlahović. But in this game, Juve New No. 7, who is considered to have perfectly succeeded C Ronaldo, performed mediocrely.
Before the Juve vs Spezia match, Vlahović received the Juventus Player of the Month award, but was embarrassed after receiving the award.
Juventus played at home against Spezia, with only 10 shots and 3 shots on target, while Spezia had 9 shots and 4 shots on target, the data was pulled down by Vlahović, who did not have a single chance to shoot in this game, and played 85 minutes before being replaced.
Fortunately, there is still Morata on the Juve front, so there is no capsizing in the gutter.
In the 21st minute of the first half, Spezia goalkeeper Provi del Karius made a mistake in the soul possession of the ball, and gave the ball directly to the Juve player Rugani in the middle, Juve of course will not miss this opportunity, organize the attack on the spot, Morata on the left side of the box took the ball to form a single knife, calmly pushed the shot.
After taking a 1-0 lead, Juve did not have many threatening opportunities to attack, and in the whole stoppage time, Morata was given a chance to hit the empty goal, but did not play. Of course, Spezia, with limited strength, does not have an absolute chance to break in front of Juventus' defense.
Allegri is a coach who pursues a "1-0 doctrine" in his own right, winning a game and achieving his goals.
After winning this game, Juventus finished fourth with 53 points in 28 games, leading Atalanta (1 round less) and Roma by 6 points. In the ensuing match of the round, Napoli lost 1-0 at home to AC Milan, and Juve were only four points behind third-place Napoli. Meanwhile, Juve are unbeaten in 14 Serie A games, the longest unbeaten record of the five major leagues this season.
