TORINO (ITALPRESS) – Juventus beats Roma 2-1 at Allianz Stadium and leads to -1 from the fourth place occupied by the Giallorossi. These are the networks of Conceicao (used for injury in the shooting) and Openda to give continuity to the team of Luciano Spalletti after the beautiful external victory on Bologna. It is not a result for the Bianconeri, but a success that adds self-esteem and confidence.
Roma in fact appeared in Turin with the best defense of the championship (8 goals taken before tonight) and without ever taking more than one goal per game in Serie A. Gasperini’s back department at the Stadium is unpublished. Ndicka is with the Ivory Coast in the African Cup, while Hermoso starts from the bench for a fatigue. The choice of the technician therefore, besides on Mancini, falls on Ziolkowski and Rensch.
Gasperini’s whole-field duel system holds for almost a time, then the yellowish rearguard begins to creak: at 43′ Conceicao has the ball of 1-0, but kicks on the body of Svilar. The same duel is repeated two minutes later: the phrasing in the narrow between Yildiz and Cambiaso closes with the winning diagonal of the Portuguese son of art, author of the third seasonal goal, the second in the championship.
At 52′ other chance: Yildiz trades with Openda and gets to kick with the hook by touching the second pole. The turkish ester puts Rome on the ropes shortly after: Yildiz sinks centrally and serves Conceicao that exceeds the charge of Wesley and tries to smack Svilar with heel, finding the opposition of the Serbian goalkeeper. Gasperini understands the moment and changes the entire attack trident: outside Pilgrims, Dybala and Soulé; in Bailey (forced to exit at 73′ for a physical problem), Ferguson and Baldanzi.
Spalletti’s first replacements are: Conceicao asks for change for a muscle problem, Bremer instead stops for energy management after the long stop. Zhegrova and Rugani go on the field. Tactically nothing changes and even the game script undergoes changes. The 2-0 to 70′ was born from a Zhegrova cross. McKennie goes to hit his head in advance on Ziolkowski: Svilar opposes, but can’t do anything about the US’s smart service for Openda that supports on the net from two steps.
Five minutes later, however, Rome reopens it with Baldanzi, timely in depositing on the net after a deviation of Di Gregorio on the previous diagonal of Ferguson. The Giallorossi team believes and leaves room: Yildiz has the ko ball at 80’ but his right hand prints on the pole. The result no longer changes. Juventus is in the bagarre for the Scudetto.
