FIRST GOAL IN ROSSOBLÙ. Yerry Mina he wanted very much to kick from eleven meters against Juventus, a detail also recounted by Ranieri in his post-match statements: the Colombian had been chosen as the designated shooter. Gaetano “stole” the first penalty from him, but the defender was able to make up for it by scoring his own first goal with the Cagliari shirt: ball on one side, Szczesny on the other. And the rossoblù was able to let go ofexultation which distinguishes it, known in its homeland as “The baile of Yerry Mina“. Salsa choke is a very popular street dance in Colombia.
PREVIOUS. Mina had shown it with the Fiorentina shirt, during the spot-kick against Bologna in the Italian Cup, before moving to Cagliari. But there are precedents during the Copa América 2021, when he performed in front of the Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera and for the little “viral incident” with Messi. The Argentine champion did not take Mina’s dance before the shot well: Yerry then missed the penalty and Messi’s shouted reaction towards Mina became famous: “Baila Ahora! (Dance now!)“. The two were teammates in Barcelona. In short, it certainly cannot be said that the addition of the South American central defender has gone unnoticed, from January to today. Yerry Mina leaves his mark. Despite himself, Juventus player Alcaraz, who had to have two stitches applied to his head, also knows this.
