A family test for Juventus who played against the Next Gen team yesterday at the Allianz Stadium, winning 4-0. In a sold-out stadium, good indications for Thiago Motta who also tried the new faces. Below we reproduce the report of our correspondent.
Juve ahead 2-0 with Danilo and Weah, but the Stadium whistles.
Very slow pace in the first half of the game, where Juventus only manages to be dangerous on two occasions with Yildiz and Gatti, but Daffara is attentive and rejects both conclusions saving the Next Gen. The pace drops even more and the public begins to not appreciate it and the first whistles start at the Stadium. The curve does not appreciate this attitude with some chants against the stands. Juventus, however, reacts and finds the goal of the advantage with Danilo who rejects a clearance from Muharemovic and beats Daffara. A few minutes later Weah takes matters into his own hands and finds the double also taking advantage of the error of the number one of the team coached by Paolo Montero. A first half not sparkling that did not satisfy the public in the stands.
Great goal by Yildiz at the beginning of the second half.
At the start of the second half, Next Gen started strong and Nonge immediately kicked towards Pinsoglio’s goal, who had come on to replace Di Gregorio. But then it was Juventus who took control of the situation and Douglas Luiz, from a corner, saw Kenan Yildiz outside the area, served him and the Turk in the 38th minute with a great shot brought the first team to 3-0. Then in the 43rd minute it was Khéphren Thuram who left the Stadium crowd speechless. The Frenchman placed a splendid lob from outside the area that went in the back of the net. In the meantime, Thiago Motta made the first changes, Thuram, Yildiz and Danilo went out and Fagioli, Sekulov and Cabal came on. Meanwhile, Vlahovic also showed up near Daffara but did not find the goal. In the 55th minute, however, the Juventus fans put an end to the match. In fact, the ending was a great classic with the invasion of the pitch that recalled the Villar Perosa vernissages of the past.
