Juve – Roma 1-0
Roma lose more for unfortunate episodes than for the greater value of the opponent. Allegri also said at the end of the game that they were favorites for some episodes and Roma deserved at least a draw. Orsato's mistake was serious, having stopped the game to giving penalty a little before that Roma scores with Abraham.
We were unlucky with Zaniolo’s injury (who will be seen today on his knee). Zaniolo was one of the best as long as he played. As were ElSha (his replacement) and Abraham. With Bonucci's deviation on Cristante's shot just a few minutes from the end. Even with the other penalty episode with a probable foul by Chiellini on Pellegrini and with Cuadrado's hand ball at the start of Juve's action-goal.
Kean's goal decided. We were a bit chicken in the occasion of their goal and beat the penalty without looking at Szczesny, who had already jumped at the time of the serve. Jordan did not play well yesterday, but we absolutely have to support him because he is a cornerstone of the team.
Surely Orsato has favored Juve, but just as surely if you leave an inch to Juve, they will take it. This is what happened yesterday with the wrong penalty. This is what history teaches us about Juve. They won the game in defense with the two professors Bonucci and Chiellini and in general with the whole team.
We need to improve in the defensive phase. Maybe Kumbulla should also be given a chance, even if Ibanez didn't play badly yesterday. So many times Abraham calls the ball for the pass on the run and we never serve him. We are still not very vertical. Overall, I saw battle attitude (even from our wonderful fans). We were unlucky yesterday, but we want to fight. We want to win. With this attitude, we will take away satisfactions. Daje Roma!
