Serie A: Verona-Juventus 0-1

Serie A: Juventus beats Verona 1-0. THE CHRONICLE

Fifth consecutive victory for Juventus, which passing by measure on the field of Verona is fully back in the fight for the Champions League. He wins, but certainly does not convince Allegri’s team, which plays under rhythm at first half, suffers the aggression of the yellow and blue second lines and seems to direct it with a simple play on the Rabiot-Kean axis. Once in the lead Juventus thinks they can manage the match but does not take into account the pride of Verona, who in the final pit claim a penalty for a hand from Danilo that Di Bello does not go to see, while he is diligent to cancel the penalty he had whistled for an alleged foul by Bonucci on Verdi: at the Var it turns out that the Juventus player is hitting the ball and therefore no maximum punishment. For the Venetians the ninth consecutive defeat, and the specter of relegation increasingly palpable.

Absent Dusan Vlahovic, Allegri chooses to rely on Arek Milik, as against Inter, flanked forward by Moise Kean. The coach gives Szczesny a rest, and so Mattia Perin returns to the Bianconeri posts after the unfortunate match in Monza. For his part, Bocchetti revolutionized Verona, and the eleven chosen by the Gialloblù coach takes into consideration the next key game of the Venetians, at Bentegodi against Spezia. Launch of the Scala brand: the “baby” Sulemana opens the hostilities, then Lasagna tries it from the outside, but Perin is careful. Then Danilo is decisive in closing on Djuric after a side of Lasagna. Juve put their nose in the opponent’s area with a left from the edge of Milik, easy prey for Montipò, and then the home goalkeeper is the protagonist on the right from the edge of Locatelli. The first half ends in a draw, with a Juve certainly not exciting.

Resumption that opens with the same players and with the same plot, with a Juventus that fails to raise the pace of the match. We need a jolt, a signature play, and punctually arrives, at 60 ‘: Kostic recovers and verticalizes for Rabiot, who serves Kean on the race; the attacker shoots from the edge and overtakes Montipò, with the complicity of a deviation from Dawidowicz. It seems that a downhill match for the bianconeri could ensue, who instead suffer the vehement reaction of the hosts. Danilo falling into the area in the scrum hits the ball from his hand, but Di Bello does not whistle a penalty and does not even go to see the contact. A few minutes later the referee rightly cancels a penalty that he had whistled for the Bonucci-Verdi contact, ascertaining to the Var that the captain, while raising his leg a little too much, actually hits the ball first. Juve ends up out of breath and in ten, due to the expulsion of Alex Sandro at the end, who stops a lasagna escape from behind at the edge of the area. But there are three important points.
