In the second round, Sampdoria and Lazio disappointed. The latter were defeated by Atalanta, the former allowed the league newcomer Benevento to go from 0: 2 to 3: 2. Then both were rehabilitated, respectively, having won in Florence and not losing to “Inter” in a match. extremely difficult. It is true that those results should have been consolidated. On the other hand, the “eagles”, in the face of the loss of Immobile, Radu, all the flanks (the defender Parolo and the inexperienced Javan Anderson played on the flanks, and in the center of the defense the debutant Hoodt made his debut) and the idea of Returning to the Champions League after a 13-year break was even more difficult. And they failed.
In the first half hour, the teams only threatened the goal from a distance. Until Aujello’s awning found Quagliarella’s head. Soon, when they gave a corner, they already found Aujello himself – he hit from a midflight with the bottom of meters from 17 meters. With the answer, “Lazio” did not go well. He couldn’t even tip the possession percentage in his favor. I couldn’t get the owners doorman to work. So he ran out of shots on target. And Damsgaard showed him how to do it when he finished.
“Lazio” has not strengthened in the summer and is not ready to play on two fronts. We knew all this even without the result of this match.

Crotone. “Ezio Shida”

Removing: Chiesa 60 (straight red)
Juventus were also left without their main full-backs, defensive midfielder McKenny, without his Immobile – Cristiano Ronaldo. I had to put the recent Primavera player Frabott, and another, Portanov, back in midfield. In all, the six starting lineups at Crotone had not played for Juve the previous season. Or they sat deep in the reserve. All of this affected the quality of his game. He hardly looked better than a rookie who lost the first three games, often fell victim to pressure and flank attacks, and created no more.
“Crotone” was not afraid to maintain a high rhythm, he fought for possession of the ball, he launched attacks from the flanks. Already in the opening of the side Retsu Bonucci hooked in his own penalty area. He matched “Juve” on the counterattack – directing the first match for the club’s Chiesa that shot Morata. It created a beautiful combination when Portanova shot directly at Kordas. But Pereira shot Buffon directly. And when Chiesa stepped on Cigarini in midfield (game episode, not abrupt), it became quite interesting. Immediately after that, Morata hit his head with a free kick just off the shelf.
The champion thought he was still winning when Cuadrado on the right flank unleashed the defenders and shot Morata. However, the Spanish leg was offside. There was nothing else. The stranger also preferred the tit in his hands. This is how the game ended, sensationally in terms of results, but in terms of play. Strategically, little has changed, because in the previous season Juve lost points to Lecce, which finally took off. But in terms of preparation for the Champions League match in Kiev, the match is indicative. Turintsy is not ready. No attack, no pressure, no possession of the ball.
