The Tudor juvenus falls the Parma In an unusual Wednesday of Serie A. To Tardini, Pellegrino’s scratch gives the1-0 and three gold points to Chivu’s team, which rises to 31 and puts the relegation zone at a safe distance (+6 from Venice third last). The first defeat of the Tudor era is worth a heavy braking in the Champions League perspective for the Bianconeri: Juve is now fifth at 59 points, hooked by Lazio EA -1 from Bologna fourth.
The game
After the minute of silence in memory of Pope Francis, Juve starts better at Tardini. Locatelli immediately tries from the edge of the area, but the blow of the midfielder touches the pole to the right of Suzuki. Parma slowly sketches a reaction, but after a handful of minutes Chivu is forced to remove Voa (after a contrast with Nico Gonzalez, in his place in Hainaut) and Bernabé (muscle problem, inside Estevez). However, the hosts earn meters and shows up from the parts of Di Gregorio especially with Bonny, dangerous in a couple of occasions around half an hour. A breath from the interval, the Giallobù pass: in full recovery, Valeri crosses and pilgrim skips higher than everyone, signing the advantage for the hosts. Some fault for Kelly, not exactly perfect in marking, and black and white protests for an alleged touch of hand. The referee Chiffi says it is all regular, Parma ahead at the interval.
The recovery begins in the name of changes. Chivu is forced to the third (Estevez can’t continue and leaves room for Hernani), Tudor takes Vlahovic and sends Conceicao to the field. Juve earns meters with the passing of the minutes and Tudor finds dangerous ideas with the help of Yildiz, sent on the pitch in the 57th minute instead of McKenlenie. It is the move that changes inertia to the game and starts the siege of Suzuki’s door. Juve raises the rhythms and tries: he shows up above all with the Turk and with a couple of conclusions from outside Thuram and Conceicao, but the right freshness is always missing in the last play. Chivu’s men resist the ninetieth, protect the advantage and snatch a victory that weighs like a boulder in a view to salvation. For Tudor, praised by Giuntoli in the pre-match, now the Champions race is a little harder.
