Foot – Italian Super Cup – Italian Super Cup: Juventus dominates Naples
–
However, the victory saw Juve bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Inter last weekend, a setback that left them 10 points behind Serie A leaders Milan with one game short.
His lucky charm Ronaldo, who unlocked the match in the second half, is convinced that this title heralds another at the end of the league season: “this trophy is very important, because it can give confidence for the future”. Lorenzo Insigne missed the opportunity to equalize from the penalty spot.
Still a scorer, the striker of the Juventus Turin Cristiano Ronaldo (35 years old, 18 games and 20 goals in all competitions this season) was decisive in his team’s victory against Naples (2-0) on Wednesday in the Italian Supercup.
Pirlo and Gattuso who are, on the edge of the lawn, as they were on the ground: in restraint but precise in his instructions for the “Maestro”, eruptive for the Neapolitan, several times called to order to be out of the zone reserved for technicians.
A meeting where both teams finished the first half with 0-0, but everything changed as soon as the match entered the 64th minute, where Cristiano Ronaldo managed to unlock the score. In a press conference after this success, the Turin coach Andrea Pirlo justified the role of the Portuguese international in his device. And if they negotiated badly one against or two, they also had the best opportunity of the first period.
Winning choice because loopholes would finally open.
Although it’s not the best of times for Pirlo As he fights to keep champions Juve in the title race, he will appreciate the feat as it represents his first career trophy and comes up against a domestic rival.
