JUVENTUS-CAGLIARI 1-1
(15′ Vlahovic; 88′ Marin)
By Gregorio 6 – He senses but does not reject the penalty, previously a good reflex and very little work to do.
Savona 6 – Preferred to Danilo, diligent in the defensive phase: also on Luvumbo. Up front, thanks to his team’s tactical approach, you can’t see much. Pay the warning. (From the 70th minute Danilo 6 – He enters to manage, Motta believes, the victory).
Cats 6.5 – Muscles and intensity to lead the Juventus defense. Some more effort on Luvumbo.
Kalulu 6.5 – He takes the role of deputy Bremer and fills it flawlessly. With his speed he closes all the spaces on the Sardinian counterattacks: the only thing left to understand is what led Milan to deprive him of him.
Cambiaso 6 – In the first half he is often the player closest to Vlahovic: his position creates difficulties in reading the opposing team. In the second half he is among those who slip away.
Locatelli 6.5 – It’s the trait d’union of Motta’s eleven: with less defensive tasks, he varies in dialogue with his teammates. Less incisive at the beginning of the second half. (From 62′ McKennie 6 – Half a step behind his partner).
Thuram 6 – Breakwater in front of the defense, called the team’s center of gravity. The naive yellow card received midway through the first half affected the game and the interceptions. (From the 62nd minute Douglas Luiz 4 – It’s difficult to respond worse to the doubts of those who ask why you don’t play. He enters with dignity, but in the end he knocks out Piccoli and ruins Juve’s Sunday).
Conceiçao 5.5 – Debut as a starter, under the eyes of father Sergio, after having been decisive during the course of the game. This time he doesn’t succeed, but his jerks are electric shocks scattered throughout the race. In the end he exaggerates: already booked for a naive foul, he gets a second yellow card for an avoidable simulation and goes to the shower.
Koopmeiners 6.5 – Since he became the owner, Motta no longer deprives himself of it. If not by force: he comes off at half-time with a pain in his side, after a good first half. Dangerous both on inactive ball and in the solutions found for his teammates, he tries but does not find the first goal for Juventus. (From 46′ Fagioli 6 – A chocolate for Vlahovic, who doesn’t discard).
Mbangula 6 – It’s Motta’s surprise move, who goes back to aiming for it and gives up on Yildiz. He moves well, he doesn’t find particularly valuable solutions. (From 78′ Yildiz s..v).
Vlahovic 6 – He has to respond to Thuram and Retegui, but above all manage the UFC match with Jerry Mina. Cold from the spot, good sides. In the second half he looked for a brace, but managed to avoid it: when Scuffet gave him the rebound from Douglas’ shot from outside, it was more complicated to make a mistake than to score. And it’s a mistake that becomes very serious a few minutes later.
Thiago Motta 6 – The unbeaten record becomes just a memory, but it is perhaps the secondary theme of the day. His Juve is solid and also beautiful, until an individual error. However, they only got there 1-0: let alone the responsibilities of the individuals, but in seven matches he scored only ten goals. Four less than Napoli and Milan, six less than Inter: the defense is ok, you can also win with the attack.
