Juventus by measure: Roma ko and Inter closer
Juventus-Roma 1-0
On the last day of 2023 in Serie A, Juventus defeated Roma with a clear 1-0 win, thus moving closer to the top of the standings, which is only two points behind Inter. In the match between Allegri and Mourinho, Cristante hit a post early in the match for the capital team, but it was Juventus that had the most dangerous chances, mainly thanks to Vlahovic and Kostic in the first half. &It was the Serbian striker who proved decisive in 47', when he provided the assist for Rabiot who, in front of Rui Patricio, scored the three-point goal.
Separate chapter for Romelu Lukaku: the atmosphere was incandescent as he entered the field, every touch of the ball and the first attempt from distance were accompanied by the whistles of the Juventus crowd present in the Allianz Stadium, all aimed at Romelu Lukaku. It was no surprise: already during the summer, the Bianconeri people had opposed the idea of an exchange between the former Inter player, who later went to Chelsea, and Dusan Vlahovic. Instead, Paulo Dybala, who has been present in the Bianconeri jersey for seven seasons and won five Scudettos, received all the respect of the fans from his entrance on the field until the end of the match.
Massimiliano Allegri had expressed himself this way at the beginning of the match: ""More than making Inter understand è it is important to give a good performance and try to get a result in this direct clash, which è is very difficult. Roma is doing well and beat Napoli at home 2-0…What made me lean toward Yildiz today from the 1'? Whyè Chiesa on the bench? Federico has had the last two good training sessions, but he had been suffering from patellar tendon discomfort. So, I made a choice to start Yildiz from 1' he did well in Frosinone. Chiesa is very well and will be an important change in the match. How much does Roma’s attack change with Dybala? Will it still be a scurvy Roma with him? It remains the same scurvy, becauseè facing Mourinho’s teams è always complicated and difficult. Then Paulo è a ballistic player, classy and è scorer, so we will have to be very careful".
