Tests of Champions – BBC

Two blazes in half an hour, then 60 ‘of shiny castling that nothing has granted in the door: so Juve, four days after his game of the year, has tripped the Lazio that for two months Exact devouring everything and everyone taking three victories from a championship now waiting only certification arithmetic. The flicker of Tevez, who scored the first ball played, and tearing vertical Bonucci have settled accounts, speculating on a couple of uncertainties in midfield and in defense of Lazio who in those areas complained important absences. From then on, the game has done throughout the Lazio, who in fact had clear supremacy in possession, but clashing with the compactness, never breathless, the whole Juve: with a close collaboration between departments, the “mina “Lazio was defused. A Felipe Anderson, who for eight games churned assists and goals relentlessly, was deprived of oxygen, blocking the spaces in which shoves his acceleration lethal. Neutralized him, and closed all possible spaces in front of the penalty area, but the risks have been minimized. In 90 minutes and passes, some thrills the Stadium l0 warned only opportunity for Klose in the first half and for some uncertain grasp of Buffon in the second half. The rest was pure control, inspired and facilitated by the double advantage built in 28 ‘, with little Pirlo (still largely in running post-injury) and much Vidal that, as in the Champions League, has revived the warrior version of himself that for months had not seen more.

The Lazio is a very well organized team, The Monaco is a very well organized team (better in defense and attack, actually) . What auspices are obtained, then projecting this match on that game? Abstract: Lazio of this phase does not seem less dangerous of Monaco which Allegri will ask sugello of a triumphant season, with the final European recovery. That said, it should be added that Juve has delivered the game, limiting the control, in the wake of the advantage that, compared to the Champions, was double. Even in Monte Carlo could be enough to contain a game but with greater availability to counterattack. With Lazio, armored score, the team is not nearly as divided, the tips are lowered to assist midfielders and defenders, allowing the goalkeeper Marchetti biancoceleste to station a long way out of his area, like a free of the past, but very advanced. In the Principality, it is hoped a bit ‘more initiative to not risk, with a moment’s failings, to throw it all away.
