DBasia.news – Juventus unbeaten record continues in the Serie A. Bianconeri won against Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, Monday (28/1). It’s not easy for Juventus to defeat Lazio in that match.
Statistically, Lazio were more active in attacking compared to Juventus throughout the match. I Biancocelesti scored 10 kicks on the 21st-week of Serie A.
Moreover, Juventus couldn’t do anything in the first half. Consequently, Lazio won by Emre Can’s own goal when the match went one hour.
Opta recorded it’s the first time since 2004-2005 season Juventus failed to score any kick in the first half of Serie A match.
Juventus react 15 minutes before the match’s end. La Vecchia Signora scored the goal by two Portuguese players, Joao Cancelo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
After the match, Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini admits his team played poorly. But, Chiellini admits Lazio also made them overwhelmed.
“For 55-60 minutes it was certainly the worst Juventus performance of the season. Paradoxically, after their goal we found the mental energy more than the physical one to turn it around,” Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia.
“We’ve got players who make the difference. Wojciech Szczesny kept us afloat for an hour, then we managed to fight back and win the game. It has to help us mature because we have another big game coming up on Wednesday in the Coppa Italia with Atalanta.
However, the victory made Juventus lead the table of Serie A, 11 points higher than Napoli. I Bianconeri equalized Inter Milan’s record in 2006-2007 with 11 points from the runner-up on the 21st-week.
