SEE WHAT HAPPENED AFTER JUVENTUS LAST MATCH.

The first half of the 2023-24 season saw a decent number of points where we openly wondered what it would take for Juventus’ forwards to get back into the game. Only defenders or midfielders seemed to score goals, but two men – Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa – did not shed much light on the matter.

Talk about a goal drought, what to do about how Max Allegri likes to play and that we always have to have a cloud of corto muso – it was the same week after week, even though Juve won after a solitary spell. . . loss of the season at the end of September.The same team that handed Juve their only defeat of the year, Sassuolo, arrived in Turin on Tuesday night as Allegri’s side looked to keep 2024 full of good cheer. And let me tell you, those vibes look as good as Clemenza’s meatballs and marinara sauce right now.The gap between Juventus and Inter at the top of Serie A narrowed to two points after the Bianconeri beat Sassuolo 3-0 at the Allianz Stadium. Not only was it an inspired win from Vlahovic, which somewhat erased memories of Juve playing Sassuolo for the first time this season, but it was another example of how Juve have taken a slightly different approach to games in the new year. The goals were absolutely beautiful from Vlahovic to make it 2-0 at half-time and then goals from Chiesa to shut down Sassuolo’s chance of a comeback late in the second half. The fact that Wojciech Szczesny, one of the key players in Juve’s September horror show, made some fantastic saves to keep Sassuolo off the scoreboard and you have the potential for another quality win that will make Juve extraordinary. as dangerous as they looked… years?Leave Inter this weekend as they take part in a four-team Supercoppa mini-tournament in Saudi Arabia. With a very high probability, Juve – even with one more game to play – can stay ahead of Inter. standings when the teams meet at the San Siro on the first weekend of February.

There are still two weeks left. For now we can enjoy the success – and the goals! – Juventus continued to show only in the new year.In comparison, Juventus scored seven goals in five games in December. In November, they scored four goals in three games. They scored four goals in the October matches. It was a short mouse to the core and, for the most part, Allegri seemed like someone who was more than happy to see his side grind out win after win, whether against an opponent vying for a place in the top four. The bottom third of the Serie A table.Okay, so the competition they faced wasn’t great. Sassuolo, like Salernitana and Frosinone before them, are nowhere near what you might call “very good form” or anything close to it. But we can point to all the months when that same Juventus team tried to go 1-0 against those same teams and then had to scramble when something else threw that plan off the axis.

That didn’t happen on Tuesday night. Instead, Vlahovic scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season, about as many as any Juve player has scored all season. Sure, it’s not the hat-trick that Arek Milik scored just a few days ago, but when you look at the quality of those two shots from the angles they came from, it’s just remarkable that those two goals – with a combined xG of around 0, 3. – both converted successfully.Courage to try both places that weren’t that far. It took skill and a simple curve to achieve both goals. Precise placement where Andrea Consigli had no chance to save either.

Both of the two goals that gave Juve a two-goal advantage were world-class stuff.It was just another quality performance in January, which started in a very different way to December, which ended with Juve still winning.Now they score and score more than one or two goals per game?I personally liked this performance against Sassuolo much more than the last one. That’s just me though. Please agree! I won’t hold it against you!I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to fill out your comment card before you leave.Tim Weah’s reaction to Vlahovic’s free kick was excellent.Kenan Yildiz’s reaction to Vlahovic’s free kick was brilliant.

The whole stadium erupted in response to Vlahovic’s free kick, it was great.It was a brilliant free kick and deserved a reaction from Vlahovic’s teammates, coaches and Juve supporters. Just so good.It was the kind of night Vlahovic reminded everyone why Juve paid all that money for him two years ago this month.In the last four or six weeks, Vlahovic has really taken a step forward in his level of play. Tonight he was rewarded with a couple of goals. In other games, he scored the decisive goal when Juventus desperately needed it.

Hopefully this is the real turnaround we see from a player who will make a big, big difference on the field.Sassuolo finished with three shots, two of which were on target. Both of the saves that Teki had to make in this game turned out to be very good, especially the one that prevented Domenico Berardi from scoring. That was made difficult by the necessary diversion after Danilo and Szczesny.
