Juventus earned a tough 1-0 win against a stubborn Cremonese side to continue their excellent record in the first game of each year.
Max Allegri’s men had been on break since November and some players were understandably rusty in the game.
However, some inspired substitutions put Cremona under more pressure and the bianconeri finally got a winner in the last moment of the match.
It was almost a classic victory for Allegri, as the Bianconeri defended well and went for chances at half-time.
The journalist Giovanni Guardalà has now spoken about the match and has said through Tuttojuve: “It is one of those victories that Allegri likes, it was a particularly balanced match and Allegri had evidently prepared it that way, hoping to decide on the changes. Then came a bit of luck that certainly helped the coach.”
Juve FC says
Allegri is one of the most successful managers in Serie A now, so he knows how to win games.
This win shows that the last six were no fluke and that Juve are really starting to get in shape.
If they keep winning, they could catch Napoli at the top of the league table at the end of the season.
Hopefully, the players will keep the winning streak going even when others get back in shape and start playing.
