Juventus – Lazio, Italian Cup semi-final first leg result: 2-0, goals by Chiesa and Vlahovic

(Alessandro Pucci) They, the boys of Florence, will take care to get the lady in crisis out of trouble. Opens church And double VlahovicWithin 14 minutes, Juve puts the first Italian Cup semi-final in the safe, finds a smile again, gets rid of the suffering of the tournament, and dreams of a better near future, starting with the match against Fiorentina, Sunday. Evening, always here, in its theater that pulses, suffers, whistles, and in the end sings a cry of liberation in front of John Elkann for a victory that does not guarantee the final, but rather brings it much closer.

A step away from the abyss, Juve rises again after a nervous and painful first half As if by magic, he finds balance and great team spirit. Lazio is destroyed. He played better until the end of the first half, but faded in the second half when he gave himself up to his opponents. Juventus strikers are deadly. As for the unmoved, it is a blank page in Tudor's score that is replaced after 70 empty minutes, which is canceled by Bremer. There is life on planet Juve after 70 black days. The Coppa Italia could give meaning to this strange season for Juventus, in the search for the trophy lost for three years, even if the real goal remains money and prestige in the Champions League.

Allegri chooses the best team possible, a team he has tried for months to give Inter a difficult time with I came In defense, Cambiasso and Kostic On gangs and Vlahovic Next to the church. But in the beginning, the lady was nervous, tense and in a hurry to stop the match and the penalty kick was awarded first and then it was canceled via VAR due to Cambiasso's offside, which did not help the Bianconeri who complained because Patrick was considered a deflection and instead it was awarded. It may look like a real game.

Juve, who had been nervous until that moment, lost that bit of clarity and was taken over by Lazio who confirmed the good impressions made in his debut. A logical and clear team, gradually gaining more trust and confidence. Tudor begins with Guendouzi-Aljar In midfield, Felipe Anderson and Luis Alberto were behind Immobile, with the Brazilian and the Spaniard falling between the lines. infection ZakagneLess than a quarter of an hour later, the Croatian coach was forced to create a small revolution with Isaksen on the right and Felipe moved to the left instead of the Italian. Juve move quickly, are imprecise in their dribbles, and often make mistakes like Cambiasso who, in a good position, serves Chiesa instead of shooting. After half an hour of excitement, the stadium blew its whistle, which increased the confusion of its heroes, and Lazio had the best opportunity, with a header from Luis Alberto that hit the top of the crossbar.

Chiesa's goal, at the beginning of the second half, favored by Cambiasso's long ball, but above all by the naivety of Lazio's defenders who opened up in front of Federico, changed the balance of the cup night. Juve regains confidence and courage, and Lazio inexplicably leaves the scene, passively accepting Allegriani's plays. So, Vlahovic, moved by McKennie, charmed Casale, who came on after the break in place of Patrick and fired a corner kick beyond Mandas' reach. Juve is looking for the third goal thanks to a pressure from Chiesa. But for one night, after so many bad matches, it's okay.
