I commit sin if I say that I will be rooting for Juventus Saturday in the next Champions League final in Berlin? Not tiferò Juve despite being Italian and moves me anthem, Despite a successful Juventus would sign of the rebirth of all Italian football season after a dark and stormy, despite the undeniable value of the current Juve , both as moral strength is as a game.

Do not tiferò Juve because a successful Old She could obscure the line of the problems facing football Italiamo. The level of Juve, both from the point of view of the performance of the team both from the point of view of management is too far above the opponents.

Technical mistakes and assorted corporate chaos have turned our championship in the swamp of horrors, the Serie A has long lost the primacy Tournament most beautiful in the world.

The victory of Juventus would be a blow of sponge on a disastrous situation that demands a profound reflection. Allegri says its standards should not have the obsession of Messi, Neymar and Suarez. The draw in Verona in anticipation was only a test on serenity Juventus, but the party was all of Luca Toni, 38, hailed by fans of Hellas from the first minute. With a goal Toni rose to 22 league goals, Tevez has disconnected (stop 21) and has led to +2 on Icardi, mortgaging the throne of the goal.

Match unlocked by Pereyra inventing a wonderful network with shooting around from outside that ends nell’angolino. About ten minutes before Llorente had hit the crossbar. Toni takes little to recover the scene: a ball lost by Tevez triggers a counterattack gialloblù, Hallfredsson spear-goal Luca who seizes the opportunity. and the winner is 1-1.

Rafael sends out the penalty shot from Carlitos (Marquez foul on Llorente). Juve back the lead after 12 ‘: Pirlo for Padoin, Llorente made no mistake this time. The Verona claim to foul in the area on Ogbonna Gomez, but then he consoles himself by finding the same with Juanito just a few seconds left.
