JUVENTUS 3-0 SPEZIA
(62 ‘Morata, 71’ Church, 88 ‘Ronaldo)
JUVENTUS
Szczesny 6,5 – Little or nothing to do, until the last second. Spezia plays, but pulls little. Ordinary evening, then he denies the penalty to Galabinov and takes a piece of personal glory.
Danilo 6,5 – Raise your hand who at the beginning of the season would have indicated it as Juve’s main defensive lifeline. Raise your hand if you find a smudge of yours tonight. Also dangerous in the offensive phase when the team is not running.
Demiral 5,5 – One vote less, dry, for the final mistake. A useless intervention: luckily for him Szczesny neutralizes Galabinov from the spot. So far, it must be said, everything was fine.
Alex Sandro 6.5 – It is not his, he holds out with the weapons he has. And a couple of launches are more than interesting.
Frabotta 5.5 – Holder in extremis, he starts with a dark yellow that will cost him Lazio. Look for the bottom, it affects very little on the race. (From 61 ‘Bernardeschi 7 – The extra weapon, definitely surprising given the latest releases. Pirlo throws him in, he changes the game).
Church 7 – Among the best even when Juve struggles, is lively and pungent. The goal is, in its own way, a small masterpiece of balance and reactivity. (Dal 72’ Ramsey s.v.).
Bentancur 6 – From his feet passes the transition for Ronaldo’s 3-0. Before and after, a race more tending towards mediocrity than anything else. But it holds up.
Rabiot 6 – Solid, without making masterpieces. It grows in the second half, like all of Juve. He will never be the player who steals the eye, but he misses little.
McKennie 5,5 – Forced to overtime and it shows. Tracks without getting into the spaces as he knows how to do when he is in the mood. (From 61 ‘Morata 7 – Inside in sixty seconds. Pirlo throws him into the race, he thanks him and scores the easy goal. The fifth in the league, the first in A in 2021. He is the center forward this team needs).
Kulusevski 5.5 – Morata’s entry makes it clear what Juve needs and that he cannot be. Ectoplasm as an attacker, he comes alive when he returns to the meters that are most congenial to him. (From 88 ‘Di Pardo sv).
Ronaldo 6,5 – Race number 600 in the championship, he would gladly wet her with a goal but in the first half the post tells him no and he has to wait until the end. His seal, however, is there: goal number 767 in his career.
Pirlo 6,5 – In defense it is a full emergency, De Ligt also loses at the last minute and gets on as best he can. His moves give the hoped-for results, he keeps the championship dream open with a more painful victory than what the result says. Now he hopes to regain his strength.
SPICE
Provedel 6.5 – He does what he can, he does not suffer a target shooting but keeps his own in a complicated race.
Vignali 5 – Frabotta sends him to the ground after ten minutes and it is a miracle that he does not end immediately KO. Bernardeschi overwhelms him.
Erlic 5 – Great tranquility until Juve has a center forward, at the first opportunity they immediately lose Morata and from there it’s all a pain.
Third parties 5 – With the entry of the Spaniard it sinks together with the whole defensive band.
Mark 6 – Among the most dangerous in attack and is a relevant figure. Careful behind, even if between Chiesa and Kulusevski it is difficult. (From 88 ‘Bastoni sv).
Estevez 6 – He growls and attacks, it is no coincidence that he stays on the pitch from start to finish.
Year 6 – Direction tests, against the Juve midfield he can do it. In the second half in difficulty like the whole team. (From ’88 ‘Agoumé sv We don’t rage, but he loses a pernicious ball).
Major 6 – It does not take full advantage of the spaces it could attack, but the proof is overall positive. (From 72 ‘Acampora sv).
Gyasi 6 – Try to show off, there are some good initiatives. La Spezia never shoots on goal and it remains a fact.
Nzola 5.5 – Rodman-like hair, resumes its place in the center of the attack. Like the colleague below, the space away from the pitch is felt. (From 72 ‘Galabinov 5.5 – More skill than Szczesny or his mistake? For sure, the penalty is a regret).
Farias 5.5 – Rusty, he does not break through but it must be said that he is dealing with the best of the three Juventus defenders. (Dal 72 ‘Verde All).
Italiano 6 – It puts the reigning Italian champion team down for a while. Then the former classmate and still a friend puts him in check with the changes: he can do little, if the quality of the team is different. He comes out of Turin with his head held high.
