Juve starts with the talent: with De Ligt and Ronaldo everything is easy

It was a stormy sea, this Juve. But Pirlo has learned to surf in moments. After all, you can escape the days of words only with simple things and extraordinary players. The first, the certainty, was cut in the center of the attack and hit with the sufficiency of the strongest. The second, the return, is such positive news that it almost gives a different dimension to the whole team. Together, Matthijs de Ligt and Cristiano Ronaldo sank Cagliari almost easily. Certainly with a deep, captivating, beautiful and above all concrete quality.

TWO PHENOMENA – Back and forth. On Both Sides. However, two phenomena. If Cristiano spoke with the language of goals, De Ligt acted in the complete repertoire: in a perennial advance on the whole world, even on the normal difficulties of a ‘rookie’. He worked a lot with this team, even when his shoulder was healing. And we have seen it. It has been seen from beginning to end. It was especially seen because he left the rust inhibitor on the bench – he didn’t need it.

HENCEFORTH – De Ligt is back on the field with every intention of staying there, whatever happens to Chiellini, since Bonucci’s almost immediate return. Beside him, Demiral seemed to be the missing piece, the perfect culmination of the evil intentions that the Dutchman handles with head and not momentum. They are the couple of the present, the future is a chimera and belongs to him only by personal law and for the thoughts to beautify it. The reality, probably already clear for Pirlo as well, is that it will be difficult to ignore the Dutchman and the total security with which he strengthens the defense. The same one with which Ronaldo knows that he belongs to the scorers table. He had eight in the league and also missed too many. But those are the old days, without phenomena and without a fixed place in memory. Start with talent. And where else from?
