Juventus: winning helps to win

Winning helps to win. Probably if Lazio had not scored the goal in the first minutes Juventus would have been much more difficult for the pressure that every Lazio player was playing on them. At the start of the match Juventus did not seem as fighting as it has proven to be the Lazio, perhaps because in the League it had won both times with ease, or because it thought they would not be involved in such an intense manner. The goal conceded  awakened the team from this error of presumption, and not surprisingly Juventus quickly put the result in a draw. Juventus had to be afraid of losing to win. And you have this feeling only when you stand on the edge. The team could not commit another mistake and if you are a great team these are the moments where you have to prove it. The opponent must understand that it’s not enough to scare you to win, it must do more, it must expect your reaction and make the wall. Lazio has not been able to sustain the advantage gained and at the first opportunity it wasted. Lazio had worried Juventus, but now the two teams were back to draw and the match could start again. Only Juventus, at this point, knew the risk run and it would do anything not to fall into it again.

Both coaches have said that the games are made of episodes, it’s true, but for this reason we must know how to build positive episodes, otherwise what is the utility of the training or because theteams do not rely on a magician rather than a coach. I think Lazio has prepared at the best the game coming from two consecutive defeats. It faced a great mental effort to put the opponents immediately in trouble  and throughout the first time succeeded quite well in this endeavor. Juventus suffered at first but then i quickly adapted to the game of Lazio, which at that point was very dangerous only in the action of the double goal post. Throughout the match Juventus have waited at the decisive momentum to blow, it struggled to keep the result in a draw, and when it had the opportunity it tried to score the decisive goal. In football, you do not know when the momentum happens, but if you trusts it comes, as in fact happened. It takes patience and confidence and when you have these two quality the team plays knowing that it’s only a matter of time. For this reason to win helps to win.
