Alvaro Morata is the anti-hero, number nine next door. What Juventus was missing, empty in the area, at the latitudes of the opposing goalkeeper. It was a difficult search, the sprint for Dzeko, Suarez’s Perugia, Milik’s Poland, Giroud as a ram, then certain loves that return. The Spaniard was never a cover man but now he’s the one who patched and stopped the short cover last year. He placed a flag in the opponent’s area but he did not do it as a buoy, as a cuirassier, but as a modern and full player already in the plays and theoretical ideas of Andrea Pirlo.
Football is simple Maybe sometimes more than you think and theorize. One more than the opponents, of short muzzle told a wise and practical coach from Livorno. In the bush and in the guerrilla, when things get complicated, the theories take away the wind. Morata has shown that he knows how to remove chestnuts from the fire of robbery and then of strength and power. In less than seventy-two hours he scored three goals, he who has recently been Juventus again and who still has rusty gears. But the instinct is the same and it shows that the ball often needs a few philosophies and a lot of practice.
The reason for the goal The meaning of goal, of Morata’s role, is a lesson to the desired and sought-after paradigms, perhaps stumbling, with Maurizio Sarri. Juventus did not have a 9 at long stretches, considering the absence or the parable of Gonzalo Higuain. And it is a paradox, because Cristiano Ronaldo must enjoy freedom, Paulo Dybala as well. Some players need who plays and also signs at their service, while they do their utmost in plays and goals for the team. Champions need certainties and in football no one better than a 9 is able to give them. Even if he is an anti-hero. Even if he has the look of the boy next door. Because that’s what Juventus was missing, inexplicably crossing the finish line before now, before Morata.
