Juventus held in balance Atalanta 3-3 in the first game since being penalized. Even so, the Bianconeri ultras continue to provide support for Angel Di Maria et al.
As reported by Football Italia, a mixed reaction was seen from the 33,565 fans who were present at the Allianz Stadium, 237 of whom were Atalanta supporters. The ultras did not hesitate to insult former president Andrea Agnelli, who only officially stepped down last week.
The relationship between ultras and Agnelli has been damaged for a long time, especially after a number of hardline fans were banned from entering the stadium for asking for free tickets a few years ago. Agnelli reported the blackmail to the police.
Apart from that, ultras ensures that the support they provide will not fade. Through a banner posted outside the stadium, they wrote that “Playing in Serie A or Serie B, we are always here for Juventus.”
Not all fans Juventus humiliated Agnes. There are still many who support him thanks to his contribution during 13 years leading the club, especially through social media. However, it can be seen that there is anger in the fans due to the punishment given.
During the match, the hard support of the fans helped Juventus, who initially left behind, then got up and turned things around to become 2-1 in the first half. But silence arose when Atalanta scored two goals in five minutes.
Supporters roar Juventus The sound was heard again when Federico Chiesa came on for Filip Kostic in the 60th minute, and it got louder when Danilo equalized at 3-3 from a free kick. The score lasted until it was over.
There was no satisfied reaction from the draw after the game. Both players and fans remain surrounded by anxiety and uncertainty. But at least now they support each other in difficult times.
It is known that Juventus have just been sentenced to a 15 point deduction due to a scandal of falsifying financial statements and fictitious transfers. Although reports say that not a few clubs were involved, only the Bianconeri were punished.
This made Juventus’ position slide from third with 37 points to 10th with 22 points. The draw against Atalanta saw their position rise slightly to ninth with 23 points.
At the moment, Juventus already filed an appeal, but the results are expected to be out in two months at the earliest. Coach Massimiliano Allegri emphasized that his team must maximize the points that can be achieved while waiting for the appeal decision so they don’t regret it later.
