The last change is the March 3, 2015 at 08:38.
The wait has been betrayed. The key game of the championship 2014/2015 ended with a pale tie, a 1-1 with goals from Tevez and Keita who leaves everything as before: nine-point lead over Roma to Juventus, with the Giallorossi who do not give entirely to hope for a comeback in the last thirteen days.
The mountain has thus given birth to a mouse, and unfortunately especially from the point of view of the game from the first two of the Italian league, engaged in a direct challenge after so (useless ) talk, it was expected much more from the perspective of the commitment and quality.
It is instead released a first time unwatchable: blame the Roma, who did virtually nothing to embarrass Juventus, but also the fault of Juventus failed to take advantage of a much defeatist attitude of the hosts. To understand what happened in the first 45 minutes, or rather what did not happen, suffice to say that the only action of note was an own grazed by Manolas in an attempt to anticipate Morata.
The recovery, for fifteen minutes, continued on the same script: the whole thing until the expulsion of Torosidis (yellow card) on which I imagine will be discussed for a long time for a few weeks at least. My opinion is that it was the classic situation to the limit in which the referee could not admonish, but admonishing did no more than observe precisely the Regulation.
It should be said that for the next development the race was not this the decisive episode: two minutes later (the 64th) the Bianconeri took the lead on a free kick for Tevez, and on dead-ball the advantage of a man does not count. Inaccurate, rather, the placement of De Sanctis who cares only to cover their own pole and not to close off target. Two steps forward and shooting dell’Apache, precise but slow enough (nothing to do with the penalties of Pirlo) would have finished in hand.
After trailing the Rome woke up, or, as he said Allegri after the race, “Juventus has got it all wrong and gave the race.” The last twenty minutes, in fact, were the best for the Giallorossi, who came to draw with Keita’s header after Buffon engaged with Manolas.
As it has been set could have been the classic game from zero to zero: Juventus careful to leave the game for the hosts, trying to close (and succeed very well) every possible space. Rome set by Garcia with a pattern very similar to a 5-4-1, with Totti too lone forward and unfortunately, as I have written in the past also about Pirlo, yesterday absent through injury, too old to physically hold the weight games of this type.
Players like Totti and Pirlo, immense but at the end of his career, in my opinion should be used more sparingly: ask them to put together in the field class, ideas, heart, lungs and breath is a bit ‘too, as well as ungenerous.
Closed Chapter players back to the field. The point that comes together to draw is undoubtedly favorable to Juventus: true that the Bianconeri have missed an opportunity to go to +12 and virtually close the speech title (in my case already closed) but have maintained the same detachment with a game in hand to play is still a positive.
The missed opportunity instead of Rome, for fear of losing waived groped to win showing a fearful attitude that foreshadowed from the beginning , the tie which then inevitably come.
In the computation of the positive and negative aspects, roles reversed, the Roma can grasp positively the last twenty minutes of the game in which managed to embarrass the Bianconeri despite playing with a man down. As it happens, as well as being forced to recover, after the release of Totti Ljajic and the entry of Iturbe and Florenzi. Fresh forces that have changed pace in the race.
The Juventus should instead worry about precisely the same twenty minutes the team has appeared in difficulty facing a higher pace (the absence of a player like Pogba she felt) and this leaves some apprehension at Juventus ahead of the second leg of the Champions League, in which Borussia Dortmund will do everything unless trot for the field.
In summary: two teams not in the best of their condition and more committed to not get hurt that groped to win, an obligation which in theory would especially the hosts saw the disadvantage to be recovered in the standings.
Unfortunately yet another demonstration of how to play Football in Italy: let us not be influenced by the five qualifiers to the knockout stages of the Europa League. The only true enterprise was that of Turin. In the Champions League, the most important event, we saved only Juventus and are years that we can not make a decent way.
Tomorrow is back on the field for the semifinals round of the Italian Cup: Lazio-Napoli and Juventus- Fiorentina. Waiting, of course, the Champions League and Europe.
