Juve, Pirlo satisfied with the Juventus project

In the end, what do you mean by good Andrea? Ok, it might be right to point out that there are some too much draws in the league (for example against Crotone, Verona and Benevento), but for the moment Juventus’ season should be seen as positive. The results say it, finally also the performances: qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League with the first place in group G, second momentary in Serie A awaiting the challenges of Milan, Inter and Roma and statistics that can make you smile, and how, technician Pirlo. For example, those who lead back there, where little is spent on defense, very little: if in Europe the 4 goals conceded are a figure substantially in line with that of the other big names (Manchester City stands out in 1), the 10 of Italy Let the Bianconeri despise everyone.

Now Pirlo can smile

Nobody keeps up with the Lady, +2 in Naples and Hellas (12), +3 in Milan and Sassuolo, the closest teams. And not in vain, considering all the competitions, Juve lost only once, on October 28 at home to Barcelona (0-2). For the rest only victories (five in the Champions League, seven in A), six draws (A) and no losses. There can be confidence, there must be: as Pirlo has often explained, there was not enough time to work during the preseason, training and experimenting, in fact, with the arrival of the first official matches. And last night, after the 0-4 in Parma, the Maestro expressed all his satisfaction for a project that is beginning to materialize: he saw the best Juve of the season (spectacular, like the one at Camp Nou on December 8), once again solid.

Department number one?

Thanks to a well-functioning non-possession phase, the singles are just as good: Buffon is eternal and does not make Szczęsny regret when the Pole sits on the bench. The irreplaceable Danilo is – by performance – one of the top in circulation, Bonucci is the usual leader and De Ligt (his return is essential to say the least) “studies” to become soon, very soon, number one in the world. So Chiellini will be able to recover slowly – perhaps to be one hundred percent in the decisive phase of the season – as well as Demiral, who Pirlo hopes to have back in 10-15 days. Another fact, certainly not trivial: as of October 28 (ko in Turin with Barça), the defense suffers at most one goal in the 90 ‘. A rarity in the five benchmark tournaments. The question then arises: should Juventus defense be considered the best in history? Answering yes would not be a utopia.
