For at least an hour, even seventy minutes, the feeling of having seen the best Juve of the season was really concrete. With one big flaw: not having closed the game when the time came. A bit unfortunate, because the post struck by Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of the first half is still shaking at the Olimpico. A bit from a series of bad decisions in the last twenty or thirty meters. The truth is that when Paulo Dybala took the place of CR7, the 0-1 was a liar and he was already very close to Juve. That is why he would have had to live a final match perhaps in the name of suffering, but with the sole objective of taking home a very tough victory against Lazio. And Dybala would have had to give everything in the twenty minutes (including the recovery) that Andrea Pirlo had granted him, perhaps even being able to find the claw of duplication, at least to make sure that Juve could breathe in the moment of greatest difficulty despite a precarious condition as confirmed by the lack of call to Argentina (read here). Doing what you can do: keep the ball, win the field, even commit a foul. WHAT MISTAKE – Instead, he was practically unable to do anything. Already emblematic is the situation in which, in the one-on-one with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic almost on the baseline, he could not skip it or conquer a free kick, a lateral foul, a corner.. In the meantime, time was running out, but with Juve getting dangerously low by being locked into their own penalty area by Lazio, it would have been necessary for Dybala to take her out by holding her hand. Or at least it would have been enough that at the end of the game he had managed to control the ball from three points. Yes, because it would have been enough to check the support of Weston McKennie, and then go out into the open. Or just sweep it across the field. In conclusion, there were a few seconds left, he was completely free, with a ball that might be dirty but to handle without pressure. Instead, it bumped into his shin and then rolled. Bad luck? Maybe. Lightness? More like. It is still a serious mistake, which costs two points, which cannot be expected from number ten. It took a little, very little. This time he couldn’t even do that. So starting tomorrow we can talk about the state, the renovation and everything else. But today it is still essentially a flagrant mistake, prompting a whole series of cascading inaccuracies from his teammates. And that ruins Juve de Pirlo’s best performance all season.
