TORINO – Tonight we will know if at Juventus an aspirin was enough, even if it was as robust as the 2-0 against Lazio, to cure two months and years of creeping illness, the symptoms of which we know almost everything about but little or nothing about the causes, given that, ultimately, neither Allegri nor the players ever provided truly in-depth explanations.
Allegri: “Today’s Juve is worth more than the one at the start of the season. Now the only thought is to score points for the Champions League.”

Cheerful, future hanging by a thread
At this moment, in any case, the prognosis matters more than the diagnosis: were 66 days of quarantine enough to get rid of the pain and tremors? “Even before, we trained well, but victories make you see things in a different way,” says the coach: in fact, in the days leading up to Juventus-Fiorentina he himself appeared more serene, despite Roma having gone back to -4 and although he is the first to know that his future remains what it was even before winning the Italian Cup, that is, hanging by a thread even if he achieves his seasonal objectives and also if he assures “today the team is worth more than it was at the start of the championship. There are many who have grown up.” The points in the standings, however, remain the same as a year ago (and the year before), as if the Bianconeri had become stuck halfway between Champions League duty and distant ambition.
Juventus, signs of recovery: with Allegri waiting for the summer

Italian at the end of the cycle in Florence
Even more than Allegri is in the balance Italian, which appears to be at the end of its Florentine cycle. It’s surprising that the same attention isn’t being unleashed around his name that Thiago Motta, for example, receives, given that the Viola coach is about to end another excellent season, in line with expectations (if not beyond: it will depend on how the two seasons go cups), as has happened to him since he started this job: he has never missed a season. For Fiorentina, tonight’s match is probably the least important of this cycle of three, sandwiched between the Coppa Italia semi-final played and the Conference quarter-finals to be played. Juve, however, has nothing else to think about other than saying they are healed. And Vlahovic and Chiesa scored the first goal for the team they grew up with.
