Typical. We just edge out a vastly inferior Serie A opponent, playing meh football in an overly cautious approach. That's basically been the story of the entire season. We must thank our lucky stars for Kean and his great form--and there is no way to justify starting Sandro over Spinazzola at the moment.
Mediocre game but we had bunch of injuries. Can decision making at the end was awful. Kean did a good job, he was putting himself in the right positions. He came close to a second goal, just needs to improve his finishing ability is all.
Usual performance after international week. Juve did enough to win. Take the 3 points & let’s work on the match.
Save your thanks for the Empoli player who managed to deflect Kean's shot just enough to go inside the post. I take nothing away from this rising star, but he is leading a charmed life in addition to his exceptional talent
We need to renew Kean. End of story. It doesn't matter what fatty demands, we have to keep him. He was on loan to Hellas last season, so there's plenty tape that opposing teams can use to prepare for him. And if he's scoring goals even when we're playing like this, then it's becoming harder and harder to deny that he's the real deal. And Alex Sandro has lost his starting position to Spinazzola. If not, then serious questions have to be asked of Allegri, especially come summer.
Part of the problem is the atmosphere inside the stadium. It has been like a morgue all season except for one game which happened to be the best game we played all year.
With this win they cliched the CL. Seriously, do they really need to dominte and look pretty the rest of the way? All Juve should worry about is beating Ajax....
The only things that Moise Kean "shares" with Mario Balotelli is their phenotype and the fact that both of them play as a striker. That's it. Their personalities are worlds apart. Balotelli has always believed that he was entitled because of his sheer talent, whereas Kean only talks about working hard and being available for his teammates. He's never pouted about being on the bench or being played out wide. All he talks about is the necessity of hard work and learning from his teammates. He's never used the struggles of his upbringing to excuse any kind of shitty behavior, because he never behaves like a shithead. And look at the results: Kean is now matching and setting the records everybody expected of Balotelli, who's on his eighth stint at his seventh club and threatening to boycott any potential call-up to the Azzurri because he feels that he was intentionally overlooked (which, to be fair, he was and with good reason). All of this, and he won't be 30 for another two years. Moise Kean went on loan to Hellas last season and refused another because he had the confidence and the fortitude to fight for his spot at Juventus. This, after we signed Cristiano Ronaldo. Racism has been a problem in Italy, no doubt. But it was not the problem of Balotelli's career. That was simply Balotelli himself, and if anything, racism was an excuse that he and his fanboys used to shield him from reasonable criticism. Balotelli has never been anything but a child growing older who managed to pout his way through a professional football career, whereas Moise Kean is demonstrating that he's already an adult at 19 years-old. That's the difference and Kean is on the cusp of reaping the rewards of it because he's worked so hard to earn them.
Ya but u cant just be lazy and then turn it up all the way once u need to. There has to be some balance...otherwise itll be hard when it really matters (as we saw 1st leg of ATM) we have a great cast of players that are able to bail us out but sometimes that makes us complacent
Damn great summary Its crazy to think Balo is only 28, he along with Rossi could have been future of Italy all these years that NT has been missing good strikers. What a waste of a career. But to be honest i always knew something about him was off from the beginning...even when he played well he was never consistent and he never really went on a hot run. People just overrate some players cuz of their built and body...where as football is more of a game of intelligence and discipline
