Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus officially starts the 2021/22 season by making its debut in Serie A against Udinese. The Italian championship was the last of the five major leagues to start: Simone Inzaghi’s Inter defends the title and Juventus wants to regain the lost hegemony with the permission of other alternatives such as AC Milan or even Atalanta.
The Portuguese, who enters his final year of contract and his future is uncertain, will be the undisputed leader of the project Allegri, who takes the reins after the departure of Andrea Pirlo and a fateful year in which the Champions League ticket came with a carom. Only the Coppa Italia relieved a team that also fell surprisingly in the knockout stages of the highest continental competition.
The arrivals of Weston McKennie and Caio Jorge reinforce a team that keeps last season’s block practically complete and is a serious candidate to wrest hegemony from an Inter weakened by the marches of Lukaku, Achrf and Conte. The neroazzurros They put an end to a domain that had been repeating itself since 2012.
Udinese, an auspicious rival
Juventus will debut against Udinese, a team that has done especially well in the last seasons: only has one defeat in the last 12 direct confrontations. Since then, those of Turin have reaped 10 victories, a draw and a defeat.
Last season, without going any further, Andrea Pirlo’s men thrashed Luca Gotti’s men at home (4-1) and won by the minimum (1-2) in their fiefdom in the final stretch of the season, something that would be essential to achieve the ticket to the Champions League 2021/22.
