Pirlo’s Juventus makes its debut and is a surprising formation in some respects. The Maestro chooses Szczesny with a defense made up of Danilo, Bonucci and Chiellini, the outside players are Cuadrado and surprisingly Frabotta, a further surprise and that with Rabiot and Ramsey there is McKennie, who remains in attack, namely Kulusevski and Ronaldo.
The expert Ranieri relies on Lleris and Bonazzoli in addition to a closed formation. Juventus starts with a good pace, Danilo’s first conclusion, a little high. Great chance at the tenth for Cristiano Ronaldo, Audero saves everything.
KULUSEVSKI – The Swede starts well immediately, first ball touched and ball in the hole, great precision goal of the former Parma.
Juventus play well, Ronaldo launched by MCKennie takes a sensational crossbar. Again Ronaldo who is close to scoring after a good action. First half that ends with the Bianconeri ahead, but the goals could have been more. Sampdoria changes in the second half by inserting Ramirez, Quagliarella and Yoshida, no substitution for the bianconeri.
Sampdoria creates some headaches at the beginning of the second half, Juve respond with Ronaldo. Again the Portuguese, high ball. Frabotta exits and De Sciglio enters. The game remains in the balance and Sampdoria pushes, Verre and Damsgaard enter. Cuadrado also exits and Bentancur enters.
Juventus doubles on a melee corner with MCKennie who forces Audero to save and Bonucci reaffirms his goal.
After the goal, the Bianconeri lost their focus and gave the Doriani chances. Cristiano Ronaldo’s third goal also arrived, good at taking advantage of a good pass from Ramsey.
Pirlo’s first Juve wins between zero with a convincing performance, excellent debut by Kulusevski and MCKennie.
