A little bit of luck and alot of determination secured all three points. And how important these points were, as Roma won against Udinese. this had meant that Juve are just 5 points away from a Champions League spot. Now if they can keep winning and lady luck is on our side then maybe just maybe, they can clinch it- well, we can dream?!
It started pretty slow, but Juve were in control but then a freak own goal from Leonardo Bonucci gave Genoa an unlikely lead, and to be absolutely honest, they shouldn't have for the opening goal as the Bianconeri were the better team. After their wins against Brescia and Roma, there was a hunger about this Juve side that had been missing for a long time. Too often had I seen heads starting to slump when the conceded a goal, but not this time, this time they fought back twice to win 3-2.
Okay the first Juve goal came from a Genoa player but that can be the universe trying to maintain the balance from the earlier own goal. It took a Juventus player atacking player until the 63rd minute to score a goal, and it came from Alessandro Matri before him Simone Pepe equalised for the home side. He has impressed me in this game with his quick turning and ability to get the ball out from under his feet and score. The thing that is starting to worry me a bit is Krasic, he is starting to look a bit unappreciated as later in the game Toni had a shot on goal and the Serb was free but Toni decided to go for goal himself and missed.
Toni scored in the 83rd minute to secure all 3 points and stopped me from having a panic attack!
Next week they play Fiorentina, who I fear, will be much harder to overcome. The positive thing that came out of this match were, players actually tried to stay on their feet and used their body to try and muscle their way through a challenge. Man of the Match was Simone Pepe and I remain puzzled as to why Delneri took him off and replaced him with Martinez, who actually got in the way of a goal scoring opportunity?!!
