Andrea Pirlo receives Praise from Juventus Legend for reserving CR7

DBasia.news – Juventus did not let Inter Milan run alone in the Scudetto race for the 2020-2021 season. Il Bianconeri continued the momentum with a 3-1 win over Lazio at the J-Stadium on Sunday (08/03).

Two goals were scored by Alvaro Morata and one goal by Adrien Rabiot. The three goals were the Bianconeri’s response after falling behind Joaquin Correa’s goal. Juventus are now seven points adrift of Inter at the top of the standings.

Juventus legend, Alessandro Del Piero also paid attention to the activities of the former team coached by his friend, Andrea Pirlo. In particular Del Piero praised Pirlo as in the match against Lazio Cristiano Ronaldo was reserved.

The 36 year old megastar has only played in the second round. According to Del Piero, Pirlo’s decision was good, because in addition to giving other players the opportunity to show off Ronaldo was also rested for the Champions League match against Porto.

“It was a smart move by both Pirlo and him. Juventus won without six starters. They are resting, so they are ready to play now,” Del Piero told Sky Sport Italia.

“Lazio had a great start, but Juventus fought back. They are consistent and that’s good news considering their next match against Porto.”

“Juventus will need a perfect game. Chiesa’s goal in Portugal turned things around for Juve, but if Porto maintains the same intensity in the first leg, it will be difficult for the Bianconeri.”

“It will be challenging, but they are in a good moment. Juventus were down a little bit, but they seem to have recovered now. “

The Juventus vs Porto Situation

Juventus trailed 1-2 from the first leg against FC Porto. However, there is still a very big chance for Juve to qualify for the next phase, considering they scored one away goal from a visit to Estadio Do Dragao.

This means that Juventus only need a 1-0 victory over Porto at the J-Stadium if they want to immediately advance to the next phase. That is with the record that Porto did not score a goal which would complicate the host’s situation.

The match took place on Wednesday (10/03) at 03.00 am, WIB. Porto is coached by Sergio Conceicao, a Portuguese coach who is very familiar with Italian football because he has defended Lazio, Parma and Inter Milan.
