Morata doesn’t look at the numbers, but Juve still can’t be addicted to Ronaldo. Pirlo has a mission | First page

“Small sign? Maybe, but first I want to win. Of course I want to score a lot of goals but above all I want to win, football is a collective sport, otherwise you are going to play tennis ”, he answered like this. Alvaro Morata, on the occasion of his presentation as a player of the Juventus, to questions understandably full of expectations towards theMan called to occupy the role of central forward after the departure of Gonzalo Higuaín. Neither Dzeko nor Suárez, the dynamics of a strange market full of opportunities have made the choice fall on the former Atlético de Madrid player, back in Turin 4 years after the previous adventure.

NOT A FIREFIGHTER – If Roma’s center forward and new mattress forward had all the requirements in their pedigree to guarantee the fateful 20-goal quota of the season, Morata has never reached these peaks in the course of his career. He approached in the 2016/2017 season with the Real Madrid shirt, when he reached 15 in La Liga (plus another 8 distributed among other competitions), while in the last year in Spain his account in the League was 12 centers. Numbers of children with atypical characteristics “9”, more inclined to do different things than to occupy the penalty area and talk to their teammates, but also from a ripening process that was never completely completed. Pirlo asked Paratici and Nedved for the classic forward to maneuver his way of looking at football, but relying on the immortal Cristiano Ronaldo for another season from a performance standpoint runs the risk of being risky.

PIRLO MISSION – Morata aims to score strong goals, those who can solve key challenges and determine a career and his Bianconeri past are encouraging in this regard: Inter and Milan hit several times between the League and a Coppa Italia final, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City their victims on the nights of the Champions in black and white colors. But the memory of last season at Juventus, with Ronaldo “pulling the wagon” with his 31 goals in Serie A and all the others at a sidereal distance, lives on. Dybala and Higuaín scored 19 goals in two, disastrous was the contribution of the outside attackers – one center each for Douglas Costa and Bernardeschi – very few for a team sometimes unable to offer an effective and attractive attack maneuver. It will be in Pirlo, who still has a potential freak like Kulusevski on his hands, find the key to increase overall production and not also having a Juventus Ronaldo addict. Relying on the evolution of Morata, the man of heavy goals “condemned” to carry the role of the great bomber.
