Juventus finds Napoli again, one group later. Everything changed from that group, then Juventus was still potentially in the running for the Scudetto, but the defeat against the Neapolitans was terrible, five to one and a sense of impotence that we hadn’t seen since the 1990 Super Cup, it was the Maradona’s Naples and Maifredi’s Juventus and the black and white fans suffered exactly like this year when the team literally dissolved in the second half.
That defeat was painful but at least it was true, it was the last match before the fifteen-point penalty inflicted and after the farce that began with Juventus-Atalanta and continued with the home defeat against Monza. It was an extremely difficult period where Juventus was unable to return to the champions zone with the penalty also due to the last two consecutive defeats, but managed to keep the boat afloat with two semi-finals to play in Europe and the return at the home of Inter.
Juventus played two seasons in the season, a real one in Europe, a false one in the league and in Serie A itself, a real one up to Napoli-Juventus and a meaningless one from that match onwards, because footballers are human beings, they are not cyborgs insensitive to what is said, read and the need to always win. Juventus’ championship has been clearly conditioned, not to say distorted but it still has the possibility, despite everything and against everyone, of achieving its objectives.
Today Juventus must try to react, win and avenge the first leg defeat, a match too bad to be true. Despite the tiredness and fewer days of rest, Juventus will have to attempt the feat.
