Juventus, poker from Champions but there is apprehension for Yildiz

In the 23rd day of Serie A, Juventus goes through with authority at the Tardini, overwhelming Parma 4-1 and conquering, while waiting for Udinese-Roma, the fourth place in the standings behind the Giallorossi. The Bianconeri’s start is devastating: after less than a minute Corvi makes a prodigious intervention on Conceiçao, who also hits the crossbar in the 5th minute. Juventus’ pressure is rewarded in the 15th minute, when Bremer swoops on a corner kick and signs the 1-0. The doubling came shortly after with McKennie who, redeeming himself after a risky intervention costing only a yellow amid the opponents’ protests, found the 2-0 in a semi-record attempt on Kalulu’s assist.

In the second half Spalletti is forced to give up Yildiz, due to a muscle problem that is all to be evaluated. Parma tried to get back into the game thanks to Cambiaso’s resounding heel-assisted own goal in the 51st minute, but the Juventus reaction was immediate: three minutes later Bremer, lurking on the line, put David’s header back into the net for the 3-1 lead. However, the Canadian managed to take personal satisfaction in the 64th minute, signing the poker with a tap-in after an inaccurate rebound by Corvi on Conceiçao’s shot. In the recovery, Openda scored, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

On social media, Old Lady fans focused on Cambiaso’s own goal, amid anger and jeers. From those who even called Cambiaso as “the greatest anti-juventino in history” to those who do not understand why “he is not a regular guest of the bench” to those who, ironically, tweeted: “If he tries a little bit’ Cambiaso manages to reopen the match”. In fact, shortly afterwards Bremer with his personal double restored the distance while David set the score at 4-1, effectively closing the accounts.

Giorgio Chiellini, speaking before the challenge against Parma, spoke about the resounding market rumor that exploded earlier in the day: “Icardi was a suggestion born after the coach’s conference but there was never anything concrete. I feel like excluding this operation.”

Kolo Muani remains a hotter name although the former defender dribbled the question about the former: “We are waiting, but the reality is that he is a Tottenham“ player. The hit will not be Mateta, a step away from Milan: “We evaluated him, then decided not to proceed because of the cost, great respect anyway for an important player”.
