A real exam, difficult, because the pitfalls are all there. The away match against a newly promoted Juventus player must, almost always, be a formality, but this time it won’t be like that.
Andrea Pirlo’s line-up comes to us in the worst possible conditions, without his best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, without a very useful midfielder like McKennie and with many post-national uncertainties among players who have returned close to the match, bruised like Paulo Dybala and Aaron Ramsey and some players who don’t appear in an exciting condition like Federico Chiesa.
For the Brescia coach, then, there is also the great pressure of public opinion that is waiting to see Juventus’ misstep to cheer, in addition to the uncertainties related to the form and the amalgamation of the team, which is not there. he has absolutely only three games under his belt, one of which was an indicative friendly match up to a certain point, as well as a convincing championship match with Sampdoria and one less against Roma.
With Napoli Pirlo’s men were not able to take the field, with all the consequences of the case, they forfeited the three points, but nevertheless it is a victory that could also be canceled with the consequent risk of replaying the match. Pirlo would have liked to play, to get important answers from the team, also on performance improvements, both for individuals and teams.
The difficulties, therefore, are numerous and palpable, both at the level of men and training doubts, and at the level of condition, where the Crotone men could be much more rested having practically not had the weight of the national teams on their shoulders.
For Juventus, the exam is clearly not to be mistaken, as Andrea Agnelli said, everyone is waiting for Juventus at the gate, it is better to move it forward and not immediately start the trial against the Bianconeri.
