Revitalised Rossoneri!

What a game?! Another loss for Juventus against a side from Milan. What can be said... Milan just had more to prove and had more desire to beat Juve. As they said before the game, a win against Juve could just be what's needed to kick start their season. There was some talk in the ESPN studio saying that it was the magic of Berlusconi, all joking aside, whatever he said had an affect because they played a fantastic game, and who knows they may have just brought a " stay of execution" for Allegri!

Juventus had over 60% possession but when you keep giving the ball away cheaply and not putting any real quality in the final third, it doesn't count for much. On the other hand, this was perhaps Milan's best defencive display, all the criticisms about their lack of defensive quality were washed away as both Mario Yepes and Phillipe Mexes had a wonderful game and so to did the youngster:  Matthia De Sciglio.

Milan worked well as a unit while Juventus looked fragmented and to often you would see miss placed passes, maybe they still had a hangover after the win against Chelsea? Whatever it was, it was unsettling and much more was expected from the defending Champions. Throughout the game Juve had 2 shots on goal to Milan's 6, and Marco Amelia had only 2 saves to make while Buffon had 5. The back three of Juve looked unsure of themselves at times as Giorgio Chiellini wasn't there due to injury, which did result in some slack defending and even a mistake from Buffon!!

  Milan got there goal from the penalty spot on 31 minutes, it was perhaps a dubias call as further viewing saw that the ball struck Isla's rib and not his arm. Robinho put it away, but what made it harder to watch was that Buffon went the right way and got a hand to it, but it managed to hit the back of the net. Talk may be focused on this incident but the truth is, Juve didn't play very well, even Buffon commented after the game about how they had an hour to put together some sort of reaction but couldn't.

 The second half saw an odd substitution as Fabio Quagliarella came off for Sebastion Giovinco, he wasn't to pleased as he was seen shaking his head and mubbling something to Allesio. This could be seen as slightly disrespectful as whatever happens, Alessio is in charge- a lack of discipline at the camp maybe?

Late on Giovinco did have a chance to level things but miss timed his bicycle kick, a lot of Juve pressure in the second half but no one to finish it.

This was Juve's first away defeat in 18 months, let's just all hope that this is just a blip and Juve will soon return to winning ways. The Rossoneri have now Juve to 8th place while Juve remain on top, but only 4 points separate them from their closest rivals Fiorentina and least we forget that both Napoli and Inter still have games to play!

FORZA JUVENTUS!!
