Castellanos is not enough, Milik saves the Bianconeri. Bad Bremer and Alex Sandro

There Juventus loses but qualifies for the Italian Cup final. There Lazio he starts off much better and immediately finds the advantage with Taty Castellanos. In the second half it is once again the Argentine who pierces Perin for the 2-0 which calls everything into question. He’s thinking about avoiding extra time Arek Milik the first ball he touched with an assist from another substitute like Weah. The long dominance in the match wasn’t enough for Tudor: Max Allegri was smiling.

Lazio-Juventus, the key to the match

And the Lazio who must come back after the 0-2 in the first leg and it is Lazio who immediately tries to play the match with Juventus low and ready to exploit any restarts. The Biancocelesti took the lead immediately, taking advantage of a header from Castellanos following a corner kick. In the first half the same Argentine center forward came close to doubling the score. Even before that, it was Vlahovic who attempted to equalise, finding a prompt response from Mandas.

In the second half the Eagles immediately struck once again with the center forward who beat Bremer and put past Perin. The changes, however, penalized Igor Tudor’s team who by losing Felipe Anderson were no longer able to create danger for the Old Lady. In the final, Weah provides the assist Milik which takes Juventus to the final. Overall, the Aquilotti were better, but were betrayed by the final minutes.

Juventus, what worked

First the slaps and then the reaction. It also happened in Cagliari, but you can’t always rely only on pride.

Juventus, what didn’t work

Speculating on an outcome is an attitude that doesn’t pay. For Juventus the strategy lasts just 12 minutes before Castellanos makes them understand.

Lazio’s report cards

• Mandas 6.5 Well done and lucky on Vlahovic. He misses a few clearances but he’s there between the posts.
• Farmhouse 6 The match requires him to maintain maximum concentration and he responds presently.
• Romagnoli 6.5 It makes itself felt on Vlahovic. But this is the way to keep the Serbian at bay.
• Gila 6 Not infrequently he is found in the attacking half of the pitch. He remains a defender by trade and does so discreetly despite his precarious physical condition. (From 46′ Patrick 6 Not in excellent shape, limited to ordinary administration).
• Hysaj 6 In the first half he also pushes, although without the right conviction. Then he remains more cautious in coverage. The least c
• Guendouzi 7 How many balls recovered. Fundamental player for Tudor’s playing style.
• Cataldi 7 Excellent defensive reads and simple plays. Very good. (From 81′ Rovella ng)
• Marusic 7 It is in good condition, so much so that it could have been used a little more. He did his best in defence, saving a goal already scored against Vlahovic.
• Felipe Anderson 7 Today he is a little more free to vary, with fewer defensive tasks. He exploits the advantage with delightful classy plays that send the Bianconeri into overdrive. (From 61′ Vecino 6 His entry brings Guendouzi forward and a little more substance to the team).
• Luis Alberto 7 Lots of quality but functional to the team’s play.
• Castellanos 7.5 He hasn’t always convinced this year. But tonight yes. Beyond the goals he created havoc among the Juventus defense. (From 81′ Property ng)

Juventus report cards

• Perin 6.5 He doesn’t make us regret the owner, confirming himself as a reliable goalkeeper. He can’t do anything about goals.
• Danilo 5 He too took part in the festival of Juventus defense errors.
• Bremer 4.5 The Brazilian is in obvious difficulty. He was easily overcome during Castellanos’ 2-0.
• Alex Sandro 5 Allegri continues to trust him but the Brazilian betrays him again: he was the one marking Castellanos during the 1-0.
• Cambiaso 5.5 Useful with his cuts towards the center. But many wrong stops for a player of this level. (From 70′ Weah 7 He assisted Milik’s goal).
• McKennie 5 The American is very dull and makes every possible play wrong. (From 83′ Yildiz ng)
• Locatelli 5 Having difficulty especially managing the Biancoceleste pace at the start. Warned, he will miss the final.
• Rabiot 6 Alternate good things with less good ones. But he certainly does better than his previous performances, including offensive bursts and combinations especially with Chiesa.
• Kostic 6 It looks like last year’s. Lots of crosses aimed towards the center of the area and also some good initiatives in the relevant lane.
• Vlahovic 5.5 Some incorrect control, a couple of near goals. The usual ups and downs of number 9 of the Old Lady. (From 82′ Milik 7 A touched ball and the 2-1 goal. Hard to ask for more.)
• Church 6.5 Among the 11 starters he seems to be the only one capable of igniting Juve. Sometimes he succeeds, always in his own way, with mostly solitary escapes. (From 91′ Alcaraz ng).
