Juventus report cards – Morata makes two but the mvp is Chiesa. Only Kulusevski is out of place

Juventus-Lazio 3-1 in the 90th minute – On the evening of the Sanremo final, each report card has a ‘dedicated’ soundtrack.

Szczesny 7 Flames in the eyes, Coma Cose. Like those that burn in the Pole’s gaze when Kulusevski with his eyes closed tries to pass it to Demiral. Then substance, splendid saves and safety. Underrated.

Square 6.5 When I find you, Francesco Renga. The dedication is from Pirlo, the recipient is the Colombian full-back. His return is a gem for the coach: a balancer in both phases, although not in top condition, he is indispensable for Juventus. (from 69 ‘McKennie 6 A million things to tell you, Ermal Meta. All the ones he wants to talk about in Europe. Not today. He enters with the game on ice and as an attacking midfielder he slips into where Ramsey worked only in fits and starts).

Demiral 6.5 Shut up and good, Maneskin. When Morata overturns the game he yells at the top of his throat ‘we are Juve, we are Juve’. If the bianconeri have a certainty it comes from the defense: with De Ligt he is destined, market permitting, to lock up the rearguard for a generation.

Alex Sandro 6 But yes, Bugo. At the beginning he starts struggling then grows up and wears the suit of the central defense. It does not have the size and physique, but choosing it on Immobile is more than appropriate. Neutralize the Golden Shoe.

Bernardeschi 6.5 Never say never, Willie Peyote. Like the stories that are reborn, the careers that restart. Bernardeschi lived for months as an eternal promise, as I would like but I cannot. In Pirlo’s fluid football, playing as a full-back can be a great new start.

Danilo 6 Combat Pop, The Welfare State. Because he puts himself in the trenches, because he plays where Pirlo asks. Tactically, he is the most valuable player for the Juventus coach. Immovable and truly irreplaceable for the Juventus coach.

Rabiot 6.5 Perfect time, Ghemon. Like the one chosen at the time of the goal. The eternal dilemma: is it the wavering one seen in so many outings or that of the left-handed who is a lightning bolt bouncing behind Reina?

Kulusevski 5.5 You could have done more, Arisa. Also because it returns to its natural tactical habitat. Play from the right wing, so look at the opponent’s horizon. In the open field it works, the problem is the macroscopic topology in the opening. (from 92 ‘Di Pardo sv)

Ramsey 6 Light music, Colapesce and Di Martino. Pirlo gives him the ten but the notes played by the Welsh have an imperceptible volume. Conquer the penalty with a pinch of cunning but above all exploiting Milinkovic’s ingenuity. (dal 69 ‘Arthur 6 Ten, Annalisa. Like the vote of constancy he had to return in time for the Champions League. More than the performance, the news is the return. Found again, Tuesday against Porto will be very precious for Pirlo and for Juventus).

Church 7.5 White Light Black, Extraliscio and Davide Toffolo. He does not score but is the best in the field. A black and white light, a boy who carried Juventus on his shoulders and dragged it out of the quicksand. Performance on the verge of impeccable: assist for Morata at the kiss. (from 82 ‘Bonucci sv)

Morata 7 You, Madame. The strong cry is that of the center forward who takes charge of the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and becomes the black and white driver. The first goal is from an extraordinary scorer, the rigor of great coldness. (from 69 ‘Cristiano Ronaldo 6 Now, Aiello. Out not due to injury, but to breathe, even the great ones have to catch their breath every so often. He supports his teammates from the first to the seventieth on the bench, enters when the game has already taken the release of the three points. Now the Champions. His, as of now).

Pirlo 7 The Pharmacist, Max Gazzè. Start the match with courage: choices that seem extreme, Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench. A single mistake still punishes him initially, this time Kulusevski. But there is more: his people react, overturn it, dominate and win.
