What a surprise this Juventus!

As a Juventus fan, yesterday I finally saw a good match in which the team showed right from the start that they have clear game ideas and a well-defined strategy before even taking the field. A game that brought back those emotions I hadn't felt for a while and it was a really good feeling, beyond the important result and the 0-3 victory at Barcelona, ​​one of the strongest clubs in the world .

My passion for football has significantly diminished over time. When I was younger, every Sunday was the day I shut myself up in my room and concentrate only and only on the game, the outcome of which would have affected my entire day anyway. Growing up, change and maturity have definitely changed my way of seeing the matches of my favorite team, in fact now I never watch league matches, I consider them quite irrelevant. However, I reserve the right to watch European competition matches such as the UEFA Champions League because it is always very interesting to observe the strategies and skills of the best football teams in Europe.

I am honest, not expecting such a positive match for Juventus, I only started watching it after about a quarter of an hour from its start, at the precise moment when McKennie with a half scissor stunt puts the ball in the net, on a Cuadrado's masterful assist, a beautiful action that really made me shiver. The match saw Juventus dominate possession throughout the 90 minutes, a constant stressing pressure that probably the opponents themselves did not expect, mindful of the first leg match won by the Spanish club 2-0.

It was the great challenge between the two strongest strikers in the world Messi and Ronaldo and this match was won by the Portuguese with two heavy goals. Messi tried to react, probably the only one to do it in Barcelona, ​​but on the other side he found a wall called Buffon, 40 years of age but he has shown that he still has the grit and ability of a kid, flying from side to side of his goal and saving the result with over 5 really fundamental saves.

A well-recorded defense that keeps the defensive line very high, near the center of the field, and this allowed the whole team to play most of the time in the opposing half, increasing the pressure and at the same time saving energy through an excellent dribble. A few too many mistakes at 3-0 gave the opposing team several chances of goal, putting first place in the group at risk. Mistakes that shouldn't happen at certain levels and especially with fearsome and fast teams like Barcelona. A little luck certainly helped the Juventus club in at least a couple of episodes, including the crossbar hit in the second half.

A Juventus that really struck me for its stubbornness and psycho-physical strength. Playing 90 minutes at a fast pace and constant pressure against Barcelona is not easy. Honestly, I would have thought of a defeat for the Juventus club, given the performance not exactly excellent even in the league and the first leg against Barcelona itself. The coach Pirlo was able to encourage his players in a unique way and on the pitch they gave heart and body for the victory.
