Juventus lost the game and drifted away from the top of the table, and Inter must guard against arrogance and rashness

In the early morning of February 13, Beijing time, the 24th round of Serie A staged a key battle, and the second-ranked Juventus lost 0-1 at home to Udinese, which was in the relegation zone, suffered 2 consecutive defeats in the league and 3 rounds of winlessness, and fell behind the top Inter Milan by 7 points with 1 more game, and the dream of winning the championship suffered a major blow.

In the last round of the Serie A Tianwang Mountain battle, Juve lost 0-1 to Inter Milan away, losing perhaps the most important game of the season, which made Juve coach Allegri, who described the Serie A title race as "the police chasing thieves", lose face. Prior to this game, Inter Milan defeated Roma 4-2 away to extend their points lead and put Juventus under pressure. Facing Udinese, who are struggling to be relegated, Juventus can be said to be determined to win.

From the opening kick-off, the Bianconeri took advantage of their home advantage to attack aggressively, with Chiesa Jr.'s shot and Gatti's long-range shot threatening. However, it was Udinese who were the first to break the deadlock. In the 25th minute, Lautaro Gianetti scored from the front of the goal to give Udinese the lead. In the following time, Juventus deployed troops to do their best, but the ability to grasp the opportunity in front of the goal was insufficient, and in the end they could only accept the result of a 0-1 loss.

In this game, Juventus had 71% possession and 6 of the 14 shots on target, but they were all cleared by the opposite goalkeeper Okoye. Udinese, on the other hand, had only one of the eight shots on target in the 90 minutes, but they scored a shot away from home. With this precious three points, the Black Rooster Army has climbed to 15th place in the standings and successfully escaped the relegation zone. After losing the game, Juventus was not only left by Inter by 7 points, but also only 1 point ahead of AC Milan, which is ranked third.

In his post-match press conference, Juventus boss Allegri was a bit frustrated, and in his opinion, his team played well in the first half, having four chances to score but failing to take them. But after conceding the goal, he never created a threat again. Seven points behind Inter, Allegri admits that his opponents are excellent but still a little unconvinced: "Inter are having an extraordinary season and we have to congratulate them. They are a team that has been built for victory for many years, starting with Antonio Conte's Serie A title. Simeone Inzaghi is doing a great job at the moment, but they also have some players of great value. It's normal to win titles in such circumstances, just like the five league titles I won at Juventus in a row. ”

But in any case, this result also made Inter sit on the big gift. At their current form, no one in Serie A seems to be able to stop them from winning their 20th league title. However, after all, the league has only played 24 rounds, and Inter is far from the time to sit back and relax.

Inter have one game to play and a win would extend their lead to double digits. However, the opposition Atalanta is not easy to match, and the last time the True Blue-Black lost was back in the 17th round of Serie A on December 23 last year. They are unbeaten in seven Serie A games since then, with six wins and one draw, and have recently won four consecutive Serie A games and five consecutive wins in all competitions. Giants such as AC Milan and Lazio are their killers. Inter will not have it too easy to win them.

Secondly, Inter still has the Champions League to play, which is a two-line battle. Juve, on the other hand, have no European mission, except for Serie A, the Coppa Italia has already advanced to the semi-finals, and only played three games at most. In other words, a 7-point lead is just more margin for error for Inter and one step closer to the second star. But if you want to take the championship into your arms, you also need to guard against arrogance and rashness, and move forward step by step.
