Andrea Pirlo’s liquid soccer is not much different from the solid soccer of Massimiliano Allegri and the visionary Maurizio Sarri. Because if it is true that Juve clearly beats Sampdoria (3-0) in their home debut in the League, it is equally true that suffers and deserves to concede a goal both at the beginning of the second half, when Claudio Ranieri redesigns the team by introducing quality up front (Gaston Ramirez and Quagliarella, as well as Yoshida for Tonelli in defense), and in the final match, when the result is still 2-0 if everything can change.
After the break, the bianconeri lose their dribbling ease and make a few more mistakes. In the end, then, when Juve seems definitely ahead, Pirlo is needed to complicate things: Chiellini takes off to insert Demiral (Two substitute centrals have never been seen except for injury), the defense loses cohesion and concentration and Sampdoria runs the risk of reopening the game with a deviation from Bonucci on Ekdal’s header (Szczesny prodigious and with a breathless Quagliarella diagonal.
Of course I am the least surprised of all: Pirlo has never trained even in the first category, he doesn’t know what it means to manage a match, he is and continues to be a champion on the field, but the coach’s mixed player doesn’t even know what he is. First, because it is completely different from the player. Second, because for now it is producing pure theory.
Good for him that the players are not against him as they were with Sarri, asking a lot for his head before winning the Scudetto. I never saw him play at this level Ramsey (Among other things, throughout the game and without injuries). I never remembered a Rabiot so dominant in both tackling and ball distribution. I never perceived a Danilo so in the game, attentive and proactive at the same time.
However, even if someone believes that Pirlo miraculously arrived at Juve to show, we have seen Juve at three, but always defend yourself at four, with a school 4-4-2. We noticed a good press, but certainly less than what it produced Often. We appreciate the continuity in dribbling and many games from before. But nothing shocking, just a better app in the collective game..
Of course in all, except Cristiano Ronaldo. Who scored a goal, absolutely useless, being the third, and hit a crossbar at 1-0, but who still considers the match as a stage for individual performances. The beauty, even if no one points it out, is that lose countless balls, throw when your teammates may be needed, slalom and then return to the starting point. It will be nice to see who will play and what will happen when he returns. Dybala and it will come – if it comes – Dzeko. Given the certainty that the Bosnian will sew the game by crouching down and giving it abysses, I do not think that last season’s Dybala weighs and counts less than Ronaldo.
Really new, compared to the past, is Kulusevski, who has always been one of my passions., who scored an extraordinary goal (after a failed attempt at a comic percussion by Cristiano), just twelve minutes from the start. The left-handed shot was splendid because it was perfect, but after the performance of the Swede (Swedish so to speak with that surname) it declined. He can do more and with greater continuity, although it must be explained that the role of second striker or added attacker is not exactly his..
A breath of fresh air, also from the market, brought him the american McKennie who, in addition to having propitiated the second goal (Bonucci’s) and having touched another one unauthorized by technology by a millimeter, he played as a position at the height of Rabiot, although in a more defensive position. Because of his ability he lost too many balls, but he also won many, restarting the counterattack a couple of times.
PIrlo, perhaps to amaze, perhaps because the player is leaving, he has not even summoned Luca Pellegrini (Genoa wants it, but so does Atalanta and this should make us think) and preferred Frabotta to De Sciglio. Now, it is true that De Sciglio is a half disaster, just as it is equally true that Frabotta is pure left-handed, however both experience and the possibility of returning on the right foot should have advised the new manager a less risky choice.
Juve played better in the first half than in the second, because they turned the ball with skill and because he was able to sink against an opponent who was too supine. If Ranieri had chosen the 4-4-2 in mirror, as he did in the second half, instead of a 4-5-1 resignation without Quagliarella and Ramírez (Gabbiadini is injured), we would only have one other match.
Apparently Juve shoots, but there is much to do, especially in the market Outgoing and drawing hierarchies. For starters, they can Will Arthur and Bentancur be reserves?
